Bina Roy captured the imagination of millions when she first appeared on the screen in 1950. Kishore Sahu featured her in Kali ghata, along with two other heroines, Asha Mathur and Indira Panchal,but she was main attraction.With the release of this movie, Bina Rai was acclaimed as a beauty par excellence.After this film she got Film called Aurat oppocite Premnath(both got married later).When K A Abbas’s Mughle Aajam got delayed,a little known director Nandalal started working on Film Anarkali based on same storyline.He signed Bina in the role of Anarkali and Pradeep Kumar in the role Saleem,Mughle Aajam released in 1960 and Anarkali released in 1953.Anarkali was a hit(not as successful as Mughle Aajam).But Beena was still not as successful as Nargis,Meena or Madhubala.But she was always compared with Super Star Madhubala in looks,in acting,in films and even in personal life.There were some reasons behind it.Premnath proposed Madhubala for marriage,when her relation become to an end with Daleep Kumar,she accepted but Soon Premnath went to Bina Rai.Her looks were little similer to Madhubala.Both played role of Anarkali etc.But she was far away from that kinda success.
