Nargis - A few casual moments - (pooja-mahi-rai) Nargis paying tribute to Meena Kumari after her death in 1972, pictured with Kamini Kaushal and Suraiya, with her mother Jaddanbai, attending a premiere with Raj Kapoor, and in discussion with Mehboob Khan, Mother, and Dilip Kumar on the sets of Andaaz.

Thoughts and trivia - by pooja-mahi-rai Meena Kumari was the initial choice for Mehboob Khan's film Amar (1954) (as seen in the first picture), however walked out of the movie due the fact that she just didn't have enough time to complete it. And so, in walks Madhubala (seen in the second picture)! 

I think Meena Kumari would have done a good job of it as she always does, because she is, of course, a very talented actress, however the role wouldn't have been as playful and had as much chemistry with Dilip Saab I don't think. You can even tell from the stills; Dilip Saab looks so very much in love with Madhubala, whereas he looks more pensive with Meena Kumari.

Overall, the phrase 'things happen for a reason' comes to mind, because I can't see the character of Anju would have matched with Meena Kumari's style of acting (even though I still think she is one of the best actresses!)
