Lalita Pawar
How an accident can change your life
During the making of a film in India in 1943, actress Lalita Pawar suffered an injury which was to be the turning point of her 70-year career in the movies.
In the film Jung-E-Azadi, her co-star was to slap her. Being a new actor, he misjudged his power and left Lalita with a paralyzed nerve on the left of her face and a ruptured vein in her left eye.
After three years in surgery, she returned to the screen, this time, her parts were not the leading lady but those of maternal characters; one of her most noted performances was as a witch.
