As we celebrate 100 years of Indian cinema this year, we tip our hats to the women from the various film industries who dared to chase their dreams against all odds. The pioneers often faced prejudice as stumbling blocks. We pay tribute to their relentless pursuit of art, hard work, talent and beauty.Known for her roles in 'Mughal-E-Azam', 'Mahal' and 'Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi', Madhubala's beauty is what fables are made of. Her real name was Mumtaz Jahan Dehlavi but her screen name Madhubala stuck as she debuted at the tender age of nine to support her family. She is considered one of the most talented actresses of all time in Hindi cinema.
