'Bandhu Baran' during the year 1967. She was then noticed by noted
Bollywood actor, Sunil Dutt, who recommended her for a lead role in
'Reshma Aur Shera'. But before the release of this movie, Rakhee had
already appeared in 'Jeevan Mritya' and 'Sharmeelee' opposite
Dharmendra and Shashi Kapoor respectively.The on-screen pair of Rakhee
Gulzar-Shashi Kapoor was very popular with audience and they did 9
films together. Four were critically acclaimed but box office flops and
five were box office super-hits.
She has acted in a total of approximately 91 movies, in a career that
spanned from 1967 through to 2003. A total of four awards have been
bestowed for her performances in 'Daag', 'Tapasya', 'Ram Lakhan', and
'Shubhu Muhurat'. She is perhaps the only actress who has acted both as
a lead heroine and mother with Bollywood actor, Amitabh Bachchan.
During her teen years, Rakhee was married to Ajoy Biswas, but the
marriage was short-lived, and the couple divorced.
