Today’s anecdote is related to Suraiyya, who is called Mallika-e-Husn, whose beauty was such that wherever she went, there used to be an influx of admirers. According to press reports, To avoid the crowd, one day Suraiya came to the premiere hiding her face. Before long, the person present in the crowd recognized him with his eyes and began to shout loudly: Oh look, this is Suraiya. The crowd became so uncontrollable at the sight of them that there was a stampede atmosphere. Soon, the crowd began to fight with Suraiya. He took off his mask and his dupatta also ripped off and disappeared somewhere. When the security did not work, the police team arrived. Even if this didn’t work, the police had to control the situation by lathi-charge.
Suraiya was so stunned by this sentence that she didn’t leave the house for several months. She stopped going to the premieres of her own films and left the public square. Suraiya and Dev Anand’s love stories were also not hidden from anyone. They both fell in love while working on movies, but Suraiya’s maternal grandmother was against this relationship. The guard in Suraiya was increased at home and on the sets. Every time Dev called Suraiya, Grandma answered and said, Suraiya’s not home.
One day, Suraiya’s mother picked up the phone and said: Suraiya cries every day for you, but she can’t do anything. The mother secretly organized a meeting of both on the roof of the house late at night. When the two met, they remained silent in each other’s arms for several minutes. A few days later, Dev Anand sent a ring with the help of a friend, which Suraiya accepted and became his fiancée.
One day, actress Nadira’s husband, Naqshab, placed the Koran in front of Suraiya and told her: swear by putting your hand on it that you will not marry her. Her marriage can cause riots throughout the country. Many people explained, but Suraiya stepped back when his family members threatened to kill Dev. Ultimately, Suraiya and Dev left their love story incomplete after being bound by the shackles of society. In the future, Dev Anand married Kalpana Kartik, but Suraiya remained a virgin for life.
