There are many stories in the Bollywood world, some dazzling, some immersed in pain, but if the life of an actress is the unique confluence of both of them, then she is Leena Chandavarkar. Lina, who ruled millions of hearts with her beauty, innocent smile and spontaneous acting in the 60s and 70s, was not the same as it was seen on the screen. The brightness in front of the camera was, the more deeply filled in real life, the series of sorrow, love and rebirth. Born in a Konkani-Marathi family in Karnataka, Leena was attracted to acting and glamor world since childhood. She started with modeling and then participated in the Filmfare Fresh Face Beauty Contest where she became the winner. This was the first turn of his fate, which brought him to the Mumbai film industry.

The first audition he gave for Sunil Dutt’s film ‘Messiah’, which may not be made, but Sunil Dutt recognized his talent and cast him in his next film ‘Man Ka Meet’. The film became a hit and Leena Chandavarkar became an overnight star. After this, he gave superhit films one after the other. His innocence and Najakat won the hearts of the audience in films like ‘Humjoli’, ‘Mehboob Ki Mehndi’, ‘Manchali’.

Life changed after marriage
After marriage everything seemed like a dream. Both were preparing for honeymoon, there were happiness at home, but luck had something else. One day Siddharth was cleaning his license revolver that suddenly she left. The bullet hit and everything changed. Siddharth was rushed to the hospital but could not be saved even after millions of efforts. Just 11 days after marriage, Leena became a widow. This incident broke Leena. It was not only the sorrow of her husband’s death, the taunts of relatives had to be faced from above, they were blamed. Leena was so broken that she started thinking about suicide. His life began to drown in darkness amidst a shining career.
Then came another twist and a unique love
During this period, another big twist in Leena’s life took place of Kishore Kumar. Kishore Da was greatly impressed by Kishore Da, Leena on the set of the film ‘Pyaar Ajnabi Hai’. Gradually this attachment turned into love. Kishore Kumar proposed Leena, but she was not mentally and emotionally prepared. But Kishore Da was not among those who gave up. It is said that he staged a sit -in outside Leena’s house. Lina finally agreed, but her father objected to this relationship. The reason was clear that the teenager had already married three times and was 20 years older than Leena. Nevertheless, Kishore won his trust and finally both got married with the consent of the family.

When Leena was 9 months pregnant
This marriage also took place in a different way. Leena told in an interview that she married Kishore Da twice, for the first time in the court marriage and the second time in the Vedic manner. His mother wished that the daughter takes seven rounds completely, only then the marriage would be considered completely. The special thing is that when Leena was taking seven rounds with Kishore, she was 9 months pregnant. He told, ‘When Pandit was reciting the mantra, I used to sit in between because I could not handle. But mother’s insistence, so I took full rounds. His son Sumit Kumar was born, who is today a music director himself and is carrying forward the father’s legacy.
A mountain of sorrows broken again
Life once again shocked him. Kishore Kumar died in 1987 and Leena again became widow. This time at the age of 37, she lost her husband. Losing your spouse twice or twice … It is not easy for anyone to suffer this sorrow. Today Leena is away from Limelight. She spends time in the family with her son Sumit and Kishore Kumar’s first son Amit Kumar. Now she appears in a few events, but her story will always be like an example of how a woman, bear all the sorrows, still does not give up from life.
