The leading ladies bring drama, emotion and charm to the film, but every now and then they make you laugh and make you laugh with their perfect timing and comedic energy.
The box-office appeal of female comedians such as Tun Tun, Manorma and Preeti Ganguly was such that they were stars in their own right in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, and they often had parallel story lines and occupied considerable screen time.
While the idea of a comedy maven may be a bit corny in this day and age, our heroine excels in comedic roles.
Here are some of the best.

From her song “Hawa Hawai,” or the scene where she’s a drunken gambler in a casino, or the scene where she’s trying to convince her editor (Anu Kapoor) that Mr. India exists, or the first time she meets Scenes from the kids.
