When Jews ran ..... Bollywood?
With Bollywood being in the news so much, why not go back to a time when 'The Jews ran .... Bollywood?' When Jewish women took advantage of a prohibition against female Muslim and Hindu actors — and became national icons. These actresses include some of the most famous names in Indian cinema: silent-era star Sulochana; cousins Miss Rose and Pramila (who was also the first post-independence Miss India); and Nadira. The over-the-top action sequences and large-scale dance numbers of India’s massive Hindustani-language film industry are recognizable across the world, but most Westerners probably don’t know that many of the industry’s early female stars were actually Jewish.
