Shammi Kapoor was smitten by Madhubala's beauty and kept on
forgetting his lines during the shoot.Madhubala would then make him
comfortable in saying his dialog'
Shammi Kapoor was very thin during the film shoot.He and Madhubala
bonded well and she told him that he should gain weight
in order to gain weight Shammi Kapoor started drinking beer. Ten years later, when we met on the sets of Girl Friend, I was a star and very self-assured. She looked at me and said, 'You look very confident now, but you need to lose lots of weight, you have become f-a-a-t.' How could anyone resist a woman like that? She was always blunt, in-your-face.'

Shammi Kapoor had signed P N Arora's Jeevan Jyoti 1953 first. but Rail Ka Dibba started shooting before that.
very first film Shammi Kapor had signed was his friend Aspi Irani's
Hum Tum Aur Woh opposite Madhubala. But that film didn't go beyond the
opening shot.
I must admit, in spite of knowing that
'Are you in your senses? You can't marry her, she is a Muslim. There will be too many problems,' she had warned him tersely.

Madhu was already in love, I could not resist falling madly in love with her. No one can blame me for it. Even today, after meeting so many women and having had relationships with God knows how many, I can swear that I have never seen a more beautiful woman. Add to that her sharp intellect, maturity, poise and sensitivity. She was awesome.' (Shammi was speaking to me[Rediff.com]in early 2011, a few months before his demise.)

When Shammi Kapoor fell for Madhubala
Last updated on: February 03, 2016 18:50 IST
He had even proposed marriage to Madhubala.
'When I met her on the set of Rail Ka Dibba for the first time, I could not take my eyes off her. I was like hit by a thunderbolt,' he had confessed.
In spite of his overt self-confidence and cavalier disposition, he was 'extremely nervous' taking Madhubala in his arms for an intimate scene. 'I was so nervous that I kept forgetting my lines,' he had said. 'And she was fully aware of the effect she had been having on me and was relishing it thoroughly.'
He just couldn't stop the rhapsody: 'She was breathtakingly beautiful... Woh jab paani peeti thi toh aisa lagta tha jaise yahan se (runs his finger down his neck) ek nas mein se paani guzarta hua neeche ja raha hai... (when she drank water, it was as if I could see water flowing down her throat). She was so delicate.'
'Those days Madhu was romantically involved with Dilip Kumar on the one side and Premnath on the other. I kept wondering yeh Shammi Kapoor beech mein kaise aa gaya? (How did Shammi Kapoor land in between?) Since I was just a nobody at that stage, no one had bothered to associate my name with Madhu's.'
'She was very much in love with Dilip Kumar, so was he with her.
I remember during the making of Naqab at Prabhat Talkies in Poona, he would often drive to the location all the way from Bombay to see her. If she was shooting, he would stand at a distance outside the 'field' of the camera and single-mindedly watch her perform without disturbing her.'
'I must admit, in spite of knowing that Madhu was already in love, I could not resist falling madly in love with her.
No one can blame me for it. Even today, after meeting so many women and having had relationships with God knows how many, I can swear that I have never seen a more beautiful woman. Add to that her sharp intellect, maturity, poise and sensitivity. She was awesome.' (Shammi was speaking to me in early 2011, a few months before his demise.)
Becoming very nostalgic about Madhubala, he wondered 'why women like Madhubala don't happen anymore?' After a pause, 'When I think of her even now, after six decades, my heart misses a beat. My God, what beauty. What presence. Today's girls make me feel they might have just hopped out of incubators.'
After another pause, he had said, 'I think life was a bit too harsh on her. She didn't deserve to go through all that she did.'
'Are you in your senses? You can't marry her, she is a Muslim. There will be too many problems,' she had warned him tersely. Those were conservative days.
After blissfully relishing the attention the tall, stylish, irresistibly handsome young man was lavishing on her, Madhubala had turned pragmatic and made him see reason. 'To be fair to Madhu,' Shammi had admitted, 'even though she kept teasing and tantalising me, she never let me forget that she was madly in love with Yusuf (Dilip Kumar). She could never resist mentioning Yusuf at the slightest opportunity. She seemed to feel motherly towards me.'
Though Shammi had signed on Jeevan Jyoti first, P N Arora's Rail Ka Dibba had gone on the floor ahead of it, as if it was ordained that his career should start with Madhubala.
In fact, the first ever film Shammi had signed was his friend Aspi Irani's Hum Tum Aur Woh opposite Madhubala. But that film didn't go beyond the opening shot. Shammi was a beginner during Rail Ka Dibba. A confident and more experienced Madhubala would go all out to help him in whatever way she could.
Madhubala and Shammi Kapoor had worked together in two more films after Rail Ka Dibba: Lekhraj Bhakri's Naqab (1955) and Naresh Saigal's Boy Friend (1961). By Naqab, Shammi had gained in a lot of confidence.
'On the sets, Madhu and I would have long academic discussions, especially on love and love scenes in our films. We did some very interesting love scenes in Naqab,' Shammi had said.
Their last film together was Boy Friend. By then Shammi was a big star and flying high. 'I remember filming the delicate Rafi Saab number Salaam, Aapki Meethi Nazar Ko Salaam. It was as if I was actually serenading her,' Shammi had recalled.
When he chided her for
distracting him, she said, 'I can't help it, Shammi, I am fascinated by
what you are doing... ;the way you are enacting the song. Where do you
learn all this?' Shammi would just laugh it away.
Recalling one of his earlier meetings with her, Shammi had said, 'After we became friends during Rail Ka Dibba, Madhu would often tell me that I was too thin and needed to put on weight. Soon I took to drinking lots of beer. Ten years later, when we met on the sets of Girl Friend, I was a star and very self-assured. She looked at me and said, 'You look very confident now, but you need to lose lots of weight, you have become f-a-a-t.' How could anyone resist a woman like that? She was always blunt, in-your-face.'

Shammi thought Madhubala was a highly underrated actress in spite of performing consistently well in her films. His favourite film of hers was Guru Dutt's Mr and Mrs 55 (1955), though for sheer intensity and professional approach he had 'loved' Mughal-e-Azam (1960).
His obsession had also taught Shammi a lesson, as he admitted: 'The spell of helplessness I experienced with Madhu did set me thinking and I resolved never again to be
so helpless in front of a woman. I had become too vulnerable with her.'
'After that, I didn't ask for any of the top heroines o

'I made a film with Meena Kumari too, Mem Sahib (1956), but it was a smaller role, a negative one at that, and I get bumped off around the interval. The hero of the film was Kishore Kumar. By the way, I got raves for my death scene. It disturbed me because at that stage nobody would talk about my 'live' acts.' (Laughs)
'Most of my heroines like Ameeta, Asha Parekh, Ragini, Sharmila Tagore, Rajshree and Kalpana were freshers, who were either making their debut opposite me or doing their second or third film. It was always easy working with them because I knew where I stood with them and could call all the shots, have my way without being questioned. In return, they achieved instant stardom.'

Rail Ka Dibba had a silver lining for Shammi (Kapoor): The 'exciting experience' of working with the 'gorgeous' Madhubala, 'who was just out of this world,' as Shammi had gushed.'When I met her on the set of Rail Ka Dibba for the first time, I could not take my eyes off her.

Blast from the past: Madhubala’s tragic life in pictures
on February 13, 2016
Marilyn Monroe and Madhubala
Though
the lady died at a very early age and had a very short span in the
industry, she still holds an important position in the history of Indian
Cinema. She was then called at the Bollywood's Marilyn Monroe but
unfortunately, the lady who gave her heart and soul to the Indian Film
Industry never received an award for her contribution. Even for her
performance as Anarkali in 'Mughal-e-Azam,' Madhubala did not receive an
award till date.
Madhubala - Illness
This
beautiful lady had a tragic death. She succumbed to her illness at the
age of 36. She suffered Congenital heart disease, in simpler words, she
had a hole in her heart. She was suffering from this disease since
childhood but it online came to limelight when she puked blood on the
sets of 'Bahut Din Huwe.' Till then, no one knew that gorgeous lady was
so much in pain. Talking about her illness, it is said that Kishore
Kumar distanced himself when he realized that Madhubala is suffering
from such a grave illness. In one of the interviews, Madhubala's sister
revealed that Kishore Kumar bought a house for Madhubalaat Carter Road
in Mumbai at then dumped her there to spend her remaining life in
loneliness.
Madhubala and Kishore Kumar
Following
her split from Dilip Kumar, Madhubala tied the knot with Kishore Kumar
in the year 1969. It is being said that this marriage was just a
marriage of convenience. The lady married Kishore Kumar just out of
vengeance, to show Dilip Kumar that she can marry anyone she wants. And
when it comes to Kishore Kumar, reports suggest that he married her only
for financial support.
Dilip Kumar and Madhubala
It
is said that Madhubala was deeply in love with veteran actor Dilip
Kumar. Their love was the talk topic of the town then, as the couple
featured in films like Sangdil, Tarana, Amar and Mghal-E-Azam. The two
were reportedly engaged too but unfortunately, their love never
culminated into marriage. Reports suggest that it was because of
Madhubala's father that the two had to split. Apparently, for a film
named 'Naya Daur,' Dilip Kumar and Madhubala had to travel out-station
for the shoot. Madhubala's father was not happy with this and he asked
the lady to quit the film. This led to an ugly fight between the
lovebirds as Madhubala wasn't ready to disobey her father's orders.
Dilip Saab then asked Madhubala to quit her profession and marry him.
The lady wasn't ready to do so and both of them then broke off ties from
each other.
In
the year 1947, at the age 14, Madhubala bagged her first role in the
film named' Neel Kamal.' The movie was directed by Kidar Sharma. The
beautiful lady got a chance to share screen space with Raj Kapoor which
apparently was his debut film. Critics loved her work as a debutant
marking it as the beginning of her successful career in Bollywood
Industry. But, it was only after she featured in movie called 'Mahal'
that she got recognition in the industry. After this, there was no
looking back for Madhubala. She then delivered hit films like Dulari,
Barsaat Ki Raat, Chalti Ka Naam Gadi and more.
Madhubala as Child Artist
As
said earlier, Madhubala's father relocated to Mumbai from Peshawar in
search of a job. He then became a frequent visitor to the Bombay Film
Studios. He was accompanied by his little daughter Madhubala and that's
when she got noticed. At the age of 9, Mudhubala then called Mumtaz
featured as a child artist in the film named 'Basant.' The film was
directed by Amiya Chakraborty and the female lady playing the lead role
was called Mumtaz Shanti. Madhubala played the role of Mumtaz's daughter
in the film and hence she was called baby Mumtaz. Later, she appeared
in several films as a child artist.
Early Life
On
February 14, 1933, Ayesha Begum gave birth to her fifth child and yes,
that's when Madhubala was born. She was named as Mumtaz Jehan Dehlavi
and her father was an employee at the Imperial Tobacco Company in
Peshawar. Unfortunately, he lost his job and that's when he moved to
Mumbai with family in search of some work. Madhubala then became the
bread and butter earner for the family by venturing into films.
