It is true that she saw many dark days but it is worth it to remember her for all the good performances.

 Though she had acted in many movies, whenever her name is mentioned, I can only imagine her singing ' na jawo shaiya, shura key beiya......' From Sahib, Bibi aur ghulam. It might be because the song depicted an alcoholic woman which she was in real life.

Notwithstanding her alcoholism, she was one of the most talented actress. 

We will always remember her as the tragedy queen or drama queen. Even today I call my younger one Meena Kumari for all her melodramas. 

Meena Kumari was special creation of God. Every movie of her is special movie. She had some vibration in her voice when she speak diologue in movies. I like this style. I like her movie Dil Ek Mandir Hai, it is too much emotional movie.

Many of her  movies were masterpieces like Pakeezah, Dil apna aur preet parayi, Aarti,  Kohinoor , Bahu Begum ..

I like too much Bahu Begum, It songs Ham Intjar Karengey tera kyamat tak resonance in my ears. Bhigi Raat is also a good movie of Bahu Begam'actors, Meena Kumar, Pardeep and Ashok Kumar.

I have seen many of her films including Bheegi Raat which had beautiful songs composed by Roshan. Meena Kumari was an icon and a trend setter whose dressing style and acting style was and is being followed by other actresses.

Meena Kumari was a born actor. She never used glysrin for tears.

Her personal life could never be a role model one but her acting talent has inspired many across generations. She still is the unbeaten tragedy queen.
