In the 90s, actresses like Karisma Kapoor, Raveena Tandon, Juhi Chawla, Madhuri Dixit and Kajol were at their peak before a star kid debuted during the same time. It was none other than Mala Sinha’s daughter, Pratibha Sinha, the actress who started her film career with Mehboob Mere Mehboob in 1992, quit acting after eight years. Pratibha Sinha has turned 55 years old today. She acted alongside the veteran actors Gulshan Grover, Mohnish Behl and Alok Nath in Mehboob Mere Mehboob. She is known for working in films like Kal Ki Awaz, Dil Hai Betaab, Pokiri Raja (Telugu), Ek Tha Raja, Tu Chor Main Sipahi, Deewana Mastana, Koi Kisise Kam Nahin, Zanjeer and Military Raj. She last featured in Le Chal Apne Sang in 2000.
Pratibha Sinha is still remembered for her performance in the song Pardesi Pardesi of Aamir Khan-starrer Raja Hindustani. The actress missed out on a lot of opportunities due to controversies in her personal life and other reasons. She gave several hits but her fame never attained the same height as her superstar mother Mala Sinha. It is said that when Pratibha Sinha’s career was at a turning point, she fell in love with the music director Nadeem Saifi. Her mother, Mala Sinha, was against this relationship. The love affair garnered headlines in the 90s.
According to a report on Jansatta, Pratibha used to spend more time with Nadeem than with films. Mala Sinha was angry with this fact and wanted her daughter to end all ties with the music director. Nadeem Saifi was already married. Hence, his relationship with Pratibha was not acceptable to Mala Sinha. In love, Pratibha Sinha eloped with Nadeem Saifi and was later found by her mother Mala Sinha, with the help of her political connections. She took her daughter to Chennai. In hindsight, the couple believed that Pratibha Sinha’s mother would eventually agree to this relationship but the turn of events shocked Nadeem Safi and the entire nation.
After returning from Chennai, Pratibha Sinha called the press conference and said that she did not love Nadeem. She claimed that she held no relationship with the music director and would never marry him. The actress also claimed that Nadeem Saifi ruined her film career. Nadeem Saifi was heartbroken by this fact and he expressed his pain in the later interviews given to the magazine.
