The Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj has been making headlines. The religious event is extremely rare as reports suggest that the Maha Kumbh Mela is held only once every 144 years due to a rare planetary alignment. The event gained attention because of various Babas Sadhvis and an exceptionally beautiful girl named Monalisa who was spotted selling garlands. What made her stand out was her rare eye colour. Monalisas beauty reminded many of a stunning Bollywood actress who once ruled the industry. Fans not only adored her acting but also her undeniable beauty. She made her debut alongside an actors son and while the actress shone in the film it was the actor who failed to gain recognition. The actress were talking about is someone who arrived in Mumbai from Meerut with big dreams. However her career took a sudden downturn due to one mistake ultimately leading to her careers downfall. We are referring to actress Mandakini. After moving to Mumbai Mandakini faced massive disappointment and was rejected three times. According to reports when Raj Kapoor first saw Mandakini he immediately decided she would be the heroine of his film. At the time she was only 22 years old. Captivated by her beauty he cast her as the lead actress in Ram Teri Ganga Maili. He also renamed her from Yasmin to Mandakini and selected her to play the role of Ganga. During an era when female actresses hesitated to do intimate scenes Mandakinis bold decision to take on such scenes made headlines. Despite the controversies the film received numerous awards. Mandakini shot to fame overnight with Ram Teri Ganga Maili bringing her many film offers. However her career took a dramatic hit when rumours surfaced about her alleged relationship with underworld figure Dawood Ibrahim a claim she firmly denied. This controversy contributed to the decline of her career. Another factor that contributed to her careers decline was her rumoured association with the underworld don. These rumours along with the previous controversy led to the downfall of her once-promising career.
