Madhubala plays Anarkali in Mughal-e-Azam, a historical epic tragedy about a love affair between a Mughal prince and a courtesan.
Referred to as the Marilyn Monroe of Indian cinema, Madhubala lived a tragic life that had parallels with her role in the film. She is said to have fallen in love with Dilip Kumar, but her protective father – who rarely allowed her to appear in public – did not approve of the relationship (which spanned about a decade from when Mugha-e-Azam began to when it was completed). An obedient daughter, she did not leave her family for Dilip
