Nargis (June 1, 1929 - May 3, 1981) was an Indian actress who will always be remembered as Radha in the Magnum Opus Mother India. Nargis was born as Fatima Rashid, the daughter of dancer/actor Jaddanbai. Nargis began acting as a child in the 1935 film, Talashe Haq and was credited as "Baby Nargis." In later years, Nargis starred in many popular Hindi movies of the 1950's such as Andaaz and Awaara. In these films, Nargis often acted as the leading lady opposite Bollywood star Raj Kapoor.

It is a well-known story that while shooting for Mother India (1957), Nargis was trapped amidst lit haystacks. As the flames got higher and higher, Sunil Dutt, playing her rebellious son (Birju) in the film, ran through the fire and rescued her. Later, Dutt proposed to her, and they married on March 11, 1958. The marriage produced three children: Sanjay, Anju, and Priya. Nargis died of pancreatic cancer in 1981, the same year Sanjay first appeared in movies.
