Rakhee Gulzar Facts

She was born soon after the declaration of independence of India.

Her father had a successful shoe business in his native village in East Bengal that is known as Bangladesh today, before the partition of India, and he later on settled in West Bengal.

She has fond childhood memories of sneaking out of her house in Ranaghat to run to the nearby forest and gaze upon the lush greenery. In her memorable roles in the films, she has often projected a figure of contemplation with emotions loitering beneath the surface of her beautiful eyes and measured smile.

Rakhee kickstarted her acting career with the Bengali film Bodhu Boron in 1967 with Geeta Dutta in the protagonist’s role. She debuted in Hindi films with Jeevan Mrityu in 1970.

In March 2020, she stated that she has felt greatly rewarded when people still come up to her saying they recognize her.

Rakhee has lived in recluse in her farmhouse, spending her time looking after a huge flock of animals, growing vegetables as well as reading books.
