MUMBAI: Vyjayanthimala, a prominent name in South Indian cinema, made a remarkable entry into Bollywood during the 1950s, leaving an indelible mark with her beauty and exceptional talents in acting and dancing.

Her popularity soared, making her the preferred choice for big heroes like Dilip Kumar, Rajendra Kumar, and Raj Kapoor. However, the glitz of her Bollywood journey was accompanied by personal relationship challenges that impacted her life and career.
