The young charming lady who had guided you with ‘Aaj phir jeene ki tamannah’ song earlier is now seen taking lessons on hip-hop dance with ‘Genda phool’ in her old age. The beautiful Waheeda Rehman is ever impressive since her entry in the film world.

The 73 years, charming actress was in Chennai for attending a musical show, ‘Gatha Rahe Mera Dil’ at Kamaraj Arangam Auditorum. The event was organised by Divine Mother Society (DMS) to raise funds for educating the underprivileged. Padmashree Subrahmanyam and Bombay Jaishri had also shared the dais. According to Suresh, secretary of DMS and the organiser of the show, this musical is “our tribute to the golden girl, who is still active in films” and to honour Waheedaji for her contribution to the Hindi cinema. The show included most of the actress’s hit melodies, from her yesteryears’ Hindi movies.

Waheeda Rehman shares a personal bond with the city, for she was born in Chengalpattu and was a resident here during her initial acting days. During her visit here she was taken up by surprise with the rise of flyovers.

The actress gave memorable performances with movies like ‘Guide’, ‘Chaudvin ka Chand’, ‘Pyaasa’ to name a few. She reappeared on the screen with ‘Rang de Basanti’ and ‘Delhi-6’ and gave a pleasant relief to her fans with her ‘old yet beautiful looks’.

Long Live, Waheedaji!
