Mala Sinha (born 11
November 1936 in Calcutta, India) is a Nepali-language speaking
Nepali Indian actress who has worked in Hindi, Bengali and Nepali
films. Recognised for her talent and beauty, she went on to become a
popular leading actress in Hindi films from the early 1950s until the
late 1970s. Sinha has starred in over a hundred film productions:
popular ones include Pyaasa (1957), Anpadh, Dil Tera Deewana (both
1962), Gumrah (1963), Himalaya Ki God Mein (1965), Aankhen (1968),
Maryada and Babu.
Sinha's parents are
originally from Nepal, but they moved to Calcutta, just before she
was born. They named her Alda. Her friends at school used to tease
her by calling her Dalda (a brand of vegetable oil), so she changed
her name to Mala. In her childhood she learnt dancing and singing.
Although she was an
approved singer of All India Radio, she has never done playback
singing in films. But as a singer she has done stage shows in many
languages from 1947 to 1975.
