Kamal Amrohi's Relationships with Meena Kumari and Madhubala Recalled by SonPreviousNext

Filmmaker Kamal Amrohi was married to Sayeda Al-Zehra Mehmoodi when he wed actress Meena Kumari in 1952 without informing his first wife. His son Tajdar Amrohi revealed that Sayeda learned about the affair through a magazine and later gave her bangles to Meena Kumari during their first meeting. Additionally, Kamal Amrohi had a prior relationship with actress Madhubala, which ended because she wanted him to divorce his wife. Madhubala was also known for her relationship with actor Dilip Kumar.
