Meet Bold actress whose Nudé Scenes caused Censorship issues, Dated a Maharaja
Simi's acting career took off after she landed a role in the 1970 movie Mera Naam Joker, which featured a daring naked scene. Such a representation was revolutionary at the time, but it also caused major problems with censorship. Although this contentious sequence caused some controversy, it solidified her status as a brave performer who isn't hesitant to test the boundaries of indian cinema.
Like her profession, her love life has also been somewhat eventful. She was seriously involved in a romance with Jamnagar's Maharaja, Shatrusalyasinhji, at the age of 17. After a three-year courtship, their romance came to an end, and a string of high-profile romances started. Simi developed a love relationship with cricket icon Mansoor ali Khan Pataudi, well known as the Nawab of Pataudi, in the years that followed. But when he met and fell in love with actress sharmila Tagore, their relationship came to an end, and they were married.
She had a romance with entrepreneur Ratan Tata, which is not as well-known. Tata was well-known for his humor and simplicity, which set him apart from the glitzy society Simi was a part of. Though their friendship remained limited, she has always praised him, referring to him as "the perfect gentleman." Simi wed ravi Mohan in 1970; he was a Delhi-born member of the aristocratic Chunnamal family. But in 1979, their marriage broke down due to divorce. They are still friendly despite this.
Simi's ties to bollywood go much further—she is first cousins with pamela Chopra, the renowned director Yash Chopra's wife. She now has even closer links to the film business since she is the aunt of filmmakers Aditya and uday Chopra.
Simi Garewal, who is 76 years old, now lives a tranquil life away from the spotlight. Despite ups and downs in her personal life and work, she remains a unique presence in indian film thanks to her daring decisions and enduring impact.
