I'm a huge Bollywood fan and it all started at the age of three. I was the youngest of eight and my mom led a very busy life. Every Sunday she'd take a break and escape to the cinema and I was the lucky one who would get to go along much to the envy of my older siblings who would only go occasionally.

I became fascinated with the glamour, music and the whole cinema experience.

I loved the songs, the dancing, the beautiful actresses, and

the convoluted love stories. My mom being a huge fan herself had told me loads about this giant film industry and I thought I knew quite

a lot but it seems I didn't. This is an untold story of bodywood history. I'm going to go on Mari he's just yeah

I'm a chance can't do you make nice and

you're all day

that's what you're going to be

how long keep it

I remember watching a brilliant movie called Aun, starring Dilep Kumar and an actress called

Nadra. She was in films like Sri Jars Obis in the 1940s where she played the Vamp, the bad girl.

She smoked and drank and gambled and I loved her.

But in Anne she played the lead actress and I loved her. But in Anne she played the lead actress and I always remember my mom telling me

Nadera was different and this was because she was Jewish.

She's the kind of person who never gave up.

The calling to be in the movies and be a star

and to have that recognition that she gained

was the strongest aspect of her.

But there was the deep, deep feeling for the Jewish

tradition within her. Recently I spoke to Joan Roth, a photographer and friend of Naderas, and I learned about a whole new facets of Nadra's life.

Her real name was Ferret Ezekiel.

I do think there was a part of her that felt isolated or felt alone or didn't fulfill something within her.
