She made her debut at 15, became an expensive actress, got married to a married actor, quit Bollywood at the height of her career, saying – I would have gone mad…

New Delhi. Very beautiful speaking eyes, attractive face and a body like marble… This actress, who is called the diva of Bollywood, joined the list of superstar actresses after her first two films. Which caused trouble for actresses like Sridevi, Hema and Rekha. That actress of the 70s and 80s, whose audience danced as soon as she came on screen. When she danced on screen, it seemed like the audience’s heart rate started to rise and there were more discussions about her affair than her films.

The lines of this song ‘Kitane bhi kar le tu sitam…ye pyaar nahi hoga kaam’ were written just for this actress and somehow these lines fit perfectly in her life. At first she fell in love with a top Hindu actor, but this did not lead to marriage. She then married a Pakistani cricketer, but he annoyed her so much that the marriage broke up. Would you believe that after the divorce her mother changed her name along with her surname and over the years she did the same with her daughter. Who is that actress, who faced many trials in her life…

First film at the age of 15
This actress named Saira Ali was born in a Muslim family, who you know today as Reena Roy. In the year 1972, at the age of just 15, he made his entry in Bollywood with the film ‘Jaroot’. This film did not rob him of the limelight. But after this film, the romantic comedy ‘Jaise Ko Taisa’ released in 1973 and the romance-action film ‘Jakhmi’ released in 1975 became tough competition for other actresses.

Saira Ali became Rupa Roy and then Reena Roy
Reena Roy’s mother was Hindu and father Muslim. Reena’s mother’s name was Sharda Roy and father’s name was Sadiq Ali. They had four children. But this relationship did not last long and both got separated. As soon as Rina separated from her husband, she changed her children’s Muslim names to Hindu names. She changed Saira Ali’s name to Rupa Roy and when she entered films she changed her name to Reena Roy on the advice of the producer.

A name associated with Bihari Babu
It took only 4 years for Reena Roy to become one of the most expensive actresses in Hindi cinema. In 1976, he gave his first blockbuster film, titled ‘Kalicharan’. She was seen with Shatrughan Sinha in this film. For the first time, the villain-turned-hero pairing of Shatrughan and Reena became a hit with this film. Both became close during the shooting of this film. According to media reports, Shatrughan used to sit in Reena Roy’s makeup room for hours. During this time, Reena fell in love with an actor 11 years her senior, which was much talked about in the industry.

When she became the highest paid actress in the industry
After ‘Kalicharan’, she was seen in the film ‘Naagin’ opposite Jeetendra, in which she played the role of a wishy-washy Nagin. The film broke all records at the box office. Even after this she did several films with Jeetendra, but her friendship remained only with Bihari Babu. Subhash Ghai again cast this hit duo with Shatrughan-Reena Roy. The film was ‘Jaani Dushman’. She was the most successful actress from 1975-1980 and became the highest paid actress in the industry.

Reena’s film story is like a real life story.
After this he also got a lot of recognition with his films ‘Kashish’ and ‘Asha’. After watching the film, people believed that this film was specially made for them. However, ‘Asha’ was a film that depicted an actor’s failed love. With the release of the film, their real life love story also took a new turn. Shatrughan Sinha got married in 1980 and broke all ties with Reena. Reena also moved on in life after Shatrughan and then she married Pakistani cricketer Mohsin Khan in 1983 and moved away from Bollywood. Reena Roy became a mother, but her relationship with her husband Mohsin began to sour. They soon separated and Reena returned to India in 1992.

Why did you stay away from Bollywood at the peak of your career?
Why did he stay away from films at the peak of his career? Reena said in an interview, ‘I did not realize how time has passed. There was a time when I used to do 2-3 shifts a day. Eventually I had to take a break. If I didn’t do this, I would go crazy. The actress said that she has no regrets about her past life. Whatever happened, good or bad, it was a valuable experience, he said. I lived every moment of life.
