You must remember veteran Hindi cinema actress Rakhee Gulzar. Fans were crazy about the actress' smile and lovely eyes. She garnered a lot of limelight on screen with her role as lead actress and then as a mother. 'Mere Karan Arjun Aayenge' is one of her famous dialogues. The popularity of this role in the movie is still intact. However, now she is living a quiet life away from the glamour of films.

The popularity was such that the director wrote the film

Rakhi Gulzar's magic was such in her time that fans would wait for hours to catch a glimpse of her. Famous director Yash Chopra even wrote a film after seeing her, named 'Kabhi-Kabhi'. Actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Neetu Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor were seen with her in this movie. People were so crazy about her that lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi wrote the song 'Kabhi-Kabhi Mere Dil Mein Khayal Aata Hai' for Rakhi. Sunil Dutt was also a big fan of her.

Honoured with National Award and Padma Shri

Today, the 77-year-old actress is living her life in the valleys away from the noise of the city. She once said, 'Now I do not need money, I do my work myself and am living a happy life with animals.' She is reportedly taking care of dogs, cows and birds at her farmhouse in Panvel. However, Jagran does not confirm this news.
