Madhubala’s melancholy:

Pencil, charcoal, oil paints on canvas.

Madhubala, a Bollywood icon, lived a life just as tragic as ‘Anarkali’, a character she played in her last film, the classic - ‘Mughal-e-azam’.

After being diagnosed with a rare heart condition, Madhubala kept fighting for her life and doing justice to her art while sadness colored her life off the screen.

A woman of resolve and uncanny character, she spent the last of her days in loneliness and died at the untimely age of 36 but left behind a timeless remembrance full of art, beauty and strength.

Madhubala when asked about love had once said,"No peace or happiness is possible in life without true love."
