Bina Rai PROFILE

'Yeh Zindagi Usiki Hai Jo Kisi Ka Ho Gaya', was the swansong sung by Anarkali in the film by the same name in 1953.

Bina was always actively involved in college dramatics but had never thought of taking up the career as an actress till she won the talent contest and with a leading role in Kishore Sahu's 'Kali Ghata' in 1951.
