Anjali is one of those sweet little ladies of the Indian screen who always give good work without being in the limelight of stardom. Anjali Devi in "Uljhan" a social story of Acharya Art.
This is a problem for the individual to solve. If the husband happens to be a jealous type, the wife should not bother about the films where she has to be half the time in the arms of a stranger. But if the husband is broad-minded and if the woman has special talents and if their economic circumstances insist, then a risk can be taken. A general advice, however, would be for the married woman to keep away from the screen. What has happened to Circo's "Nai Duniya"?
We'll see what has happened to it after ii comes to the screen. I am sure a lot has happened.

Don't you think that Madhuri locks Motilal's elder sister in "Sasural"? Isn't ii time, she started playing roles which Sunalinj Devi plays?
There are many like that — not Madhuri alone. But you mustn't size her up with Motilal as the standard. Moti is growing smaller every day and even little Vasanti will one day look like his grandma.

I have fallen deeply in love with "filmindia's" new secretary. If I come to Bombay, would you please introduce me to her?
There are many producers in Bombay waiting to be introduced to her, not to mention the directors and the glamour boys who, nowadays, call on
me under some pretext or other. Very shortly, I shall have to provide Sushila Rani with a body guard. The other day, she was mobbed at the Central Cinema by a crowd of college students and she missed two reels of the picture she had gone to see. Can't a man have a beautiful secretary without other people falling in love with her every day?

What do you pay to your new secretary?
My respects. Sidda-what-not, you are a very inquisitive person. You are asking business secrets. What use are they to you in that jaw-breaking hole where you live?
M. A. Hafeez Sufi (Lahore)
Who earns the most, the producer, the distributor or the exhibitor?
The distributor earns the most. He draws blood from two banks — the production and the exhibition. The producer generally loses; when he starts earning he becomes a distributor to earn more. The exhibitor generally pays for all the fun of the other two.
What is your private life?
/f is as public as it could be made. Some things I can't help but have to be screened to save the world a blush.
Shobhana Samarth maintains her reputation for charm in "Shobha" a social picture of Wadia.
