After Sridevi, Bollywood’s beloved Shammi Aunty has bid farewell to the fraternity.
Shammi Aunty, aka, Nargis Rabadi, marked her entry in 1949 with Ustad Pedro. In 1952, she also co-starred with Dilip Kumar and Madhubala in Sangdil, which turned out to be a dud. The actress then shifted focus to supporting roles and featured in several films with Rajesh Khanna (who was also her friend) in the lead – Aanchal and Kudrat are a few of them.
