On April 27, 2012, Actress Zohra Segal, the grand old lady of Indian theatre and cinema,turned 100. She is still now physically active and mentally alert. Even a few years ago when she was 95, she played mother to Amitabh Bachchan in the 2007 film ‘Cheeni Kum’. It is due to her disciplined daily routine that she has been able to achieve such an active life even at such an old age. We must salute this living legend who has been working on the celluloid screen from its early days when Indian cinema passed from the silent era to the present stage of sound and music. Isn’t it?

Wow...i really love to know that one can leave up to 1oo years and still healthy. Did she share her secrets to be physically active and mentally alert.Many when they grow old they become insecure and have influence us who is going to pass the same route feel like insecure too. Salute to Actress Zohra Segal who is in the perfect position to show us its not impossible to live long and stay healthy.

Wow the lady has really seen some changes in the cinemas hasn't she?
I will have to do a search on her and see what I can find. Unfortunately americans don't get to watch many of the Indian movies.
I have been able to watch a few on netflix from time to time.
of course then have to read while watching the movie but some are quite good so I don't mind reading.
I am so glad you posted this I am always in love with history and learning so this will be fun to find out more about her. Thanks!
