Born - September 9, 1909 in Dharwar, Karnataka, India
Died - July 14, 2003 in Danbury, Connecticut, USA
Real Name - Leela Nagarkar
Leela Chitnis was an actress in the Indian film industry, active from 1930s to 1980s. In her early years she starred as a romantic lead, but she is best remembered for her later roles playing a virtuous and upright mother to leading stars
She was born in a Marathi-speaking Brahmin family, in Dharwad, Karnataka. Her father was an English literature professor. She was one of the first educated film actresses. After graduation she joined Natyamanwantar (नाट्य मन्वंतर), a progressive theater group that produced plays in her native Marathi language. The group's works were greatly influenced by Ibsen, Shaw and Stanislavsky. With the theatre group, Leela played the lead role in a series of comedies and tragedies and even founded her own repertory.
Chitnis' early stage work included comedy Usna Navra (1934) and with her own film group Udyacha Sansar. She started acting to support her four children. She started as an extra and went on to stunt films.
In Gentleman Daku ("Gentleman Thief") in 1937, Chitnis played a polished crook dressed in male apparel and was publicised in the Times of India as the first graduate society-lady from Maharashtra. By then she had already made her first major mark as an actress on the silver screen. Chitnis worked at Prabhat Pictures, Pune and Ranjit Movietone before going on to be the leading lady in Bombay Talkies.
Specialising in controversial films that challenged accepted societal norms, especially those regarding marriage and the invidious caste system, Bombay Talkies was having limited luck at the box office. But it bounced back with Kangan ("Bangles", 1939), which introduced Chitnis playing the lead role as the adopted daughter of a Hindu priest in love with the son of a local landlord who opposes the relationship and threatens the holy man.
With Kangan's success, Leela replaced Bombay Talkies' ravishing leading lady Devika Rani. Leela made a particularly good partner with Devika Rani's leading man Ashok Kumar for a series of box-office hits such as Azad (Free, 1940), Bandhan (Ties, 1940) and Jhoola ("Swing", 1941) that broadly deal with societal issues.. Ashok Kumar was so impressed by her acting abilities that he admitted to having learnt how to speak with his eyes from her. In 1941 Chitnis, at the height of her popularity and glamour, created history of sorts by becoming the first Indian film star to endorse the popular Lux soap brand, a concession then only granted to top Hollywood heroines.
By the mid-1940s her career went downhill as the new leading ladies came in. Leela accepted the reality and in 1948 entered the next, and perhaps most renowned, phase of her career in Shaheed . Cast as the hero's suffering, ailing mother, she played this role to perfection. For 22 years, Chitnis played the mother of the later leading men including Dilip Kumar, often playing an ailing mother or a mother going through hardships and struggling to bring up her offspring. In fact she created the archetype of the Hindi Film mother, which was continued by later actresses. Leela's maternal histrionics were portrayed in a range of films such as Awaara , Ganga Jumna She then emigrated to the United States in the late 1980s to join her children. She died in Danbury, Connecticut at a nursing home, at age 94.
Chitnis belonged to the Brahmin caste. However, her father adhered to Brahmo Samaj, a religious movement that rejected caste.
She married a much older man named Dr. Gajanan Yeshwant Chitnis at the age of 15 or 16, and quickly had four children. The couple supported India's struggle for independence from Britain and once risked arrest by harbouring Manabendra Nath Roy, a Marxist freedom fighter. After she divorced her husband, she worked as a school teacher and began acting on stage in melodramas typical of the time. She appeared in several movies, and went through a Bombay university to be hired by a major studio, Bombay Talkies; it hired only college graduates.
She had four sons Manavendra (Meena), Vijaykumar, Ajitkumar and Raj. She lived with her eldest son in Connecticut in United States, until her death. She had three grandchildren then.

Leela Chitnis a versatile actress.first lux model.Her role in Bandhan in jhola Kangan are excellent.Her role with Dadamuni Ashok Kumar is unparalleled unbeatable

[@MrMintyfresh1234]

Leela Chitnis Ji was a strikingly beautiful woman and an amazing actress. Unlike the feeble helpless and tearful mother that in the latter years she portrayed on the silver screen, she was an exceptionally bold and fiercely independent woman. In her autobiography, "Chanderi Duniyet," she candidly penned her life experiences. 🙏

[@azharalikhan3554]

Great legends like the dear departed Leela Chitnisji are no more in this world but they live in the hearts of Hindi film-goers through their historic works and performances as a great contribution to the Indian movies. R.I.P. Leelaji!

So far it was told that Leela Chitniss was a Jew,, Many Jews in Maharashtra had adopted Maharashtra surnames. Her face cut too had Jewish features. It was told that in her final years she migrated to Israel and died there. May I request you for a thorough research.

[@MrMintyfresh1234]

No, Leela Ji hailed from a Maharashtrian Brahmin family. However, her father was unorthodox and very progressive for the early 20th Century. Many Maharashtrian and Bengali intellectuals of the late 19th and early 20th century subsctibed either to Arya Samaj or Brahmo Samaj. This was the way these progressive intellectuals registered their protest against the prevalent rigidity of the caste system, narrowmindness of the "upper class" and their discriminatory attitude towards those in lowest rungs of the society. Professor Nagarkar, her father, was one such trail-blazer.

[@MrMintyfresh1234]

Incidentally, she lived and died, not in Israel but in Danbury, Connecticut, USA. I remember reading her Obituary.

[@muzaffarmahmood700]

@@MrMintyfresh1234 Thnx for enlightening., but her face and hair, earlier press articles, and your reaerch will always puzzle me.

[@khushalthakur6882]

Totally wrong....

[@MrMintyfresh1234]

@@muzaffarmahmood700 If hair and skin color were the ONLY criteria for genetics, then by virtue of skin color and curly hair, many S. Indians will be classified as Blacks. Incidentally, anthropologists say that WE ALL hail from one African female. We all are mutts--a racial mix. You may wish to read her biography "Chanderi Duniyet." It will leave no doubt about her non-Jewish pure Brahman herirage.
