Victory over Battle with Life
Mumtaz, who was a top
heroine in her times, has undergone very bad phase in her life.
Once
she was disturbed over the wrangle with her husband, and then cancer oppressed
her.
Presently,
she is very happy after overcoming both of them.
Mumtaz has been the princess of
box-office during sixties. Her pairing with superstar Rajesh Khanna has been
incomparable. She married Mayur Madhvani who is a billionaire in London, but their
relations got strained. In the meantime Mumtaz was diagnosed to be suffering
from cancer. However, she overcame the dreaded disease as well as mutual
discord after a long fight.
Chemotherapy to Rescue
Mumtaz had developed breast
cancer. Narrating her suffering, she said, “It started with a node in my
breast. I was under the expert supervision of Dr. Soonawala and Dr. Kurkure.
They removed the node. I was under chemotherapy for one year, due to which I
always used to in a bad mood.”
Mumtaz was highly disturbed
due to cancer. She told, “Hair from my scalp and eye lashes fell. Though my
husband bought a beautiful wig for me, but I never wore it. I do not believe in
any artificial things. As an alternative, I used to wear a scarf. I gained lot
of weight due to cancer, but am trying to reduce after recovery.”
Heart’s Desire
Mumtaz feels, “Cancer
sometimes develops if there is too much of tension and pain in the heart. After
a few years of my marriage, my husband developed an affair with someone. Those
times were extremely painful for me. Due to loneliness, I also got attracted to
another person. As a result, the miseries further grew day by day.” Narrating
her painful story, Mumtaz says, “I have learnt from my life that if my own
husband is not reliable then why I should expect from others.”
Happy Ending
Mumtaz’s illness revived the
delicate feelings between her and Mayur. Mumtaz says, “We love each other even
today, but the attitude has changed. I never expect that my husband should
suffer in any way.”
