Veteran actress Bindu opens up on playing vamp roles in films

Bindu had a great equation with all her co-stars, despite being slotted in “vamp” roles by the Hindi film industry. She was ‘conscious’ of wearing cabaret dancer costumes in Kati Patang since she had never worn such clothes.

At a time when actresses often shied away from playing the role of a vamp, Bindu made an unforgettable mark with negative characters. As soon as Bindu’s name comes, the character of ‘Mona Darling’ played by her is remembered first. With her powerful performance in the 1973 film ‘Zanjeer’, the actress carved a different path for herself in Bollywood.

Bindu had a great equation with all her co-stars, despite being slotted in “vamp” roles by the Hindi film industry.

Before ‘Zanjeer’, Bindu was seen in Rajesh Khanna and Asha Parekh’s film ‘Kati Patang’. In this film, the actress played the character of ‘Shabbo’. Before ‘Mona Darling’, Bindu was known by the name of ‘Shabbo’.

Bindu took up Kati Patang, the Shakti Samanta directorial as a “challenge” since the role offered to her was of a cabaret dancer.

In the 70s, Bindu inherited the act of boldness and beauty on the big screen. Bindu has shared screen space with almost all the biggies of Bollywood.
