Alongside the image, he wrote simply: “In loving memory of Madhubala ji. Remembering her enduring legacy on her death anniversary.”
Madhubala remains one of the most celebrated faces in Indian cinema. Over a career that spanned roughly two decades, she appeared in more than 70 films and showed remarkable range, from light-hearted comedies to intense period dramas.
She began acting as a child and first appeared in Basant. By the late 1940s, she had moved into lead roles and gained recognition with films like Neel Kamal and Amar.
Her filmography includes memorable titles such as Mahal, Tarana, Mr. & Mrs. ’55, Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi, Howrah Bridge, and Barsaat Ki Raat.
However, it was her portrayal of Anarkali in Mughal-e-Azam that made her place in cinema history and earned widespread critical acclaim.
In 1960, Madhubala married singer-actor Kishore Kumar. For much of her adult life, she battled health complications caused by a ventricular septal defect. She passed away in 1969 at the age of just 36.
On the work front, Jackie will next appear in Welcome To The Jungle, directed by Ahmed Khan.
The upcoming comedy features a large ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Arshad Warsi, Paresh Rawal, Raveena Tandon, Disha Patani, Lara Dutta, and Jacqueline Fernandez, among others.
