The Sirens of  the Silent Era
 

The self-christened Sulochana
was among the early Eurasian female
stars of Indian Cinema. Born in Pune, the pretty brown-eyed girl was a former telephone operator before stepping into the big bad world of films.

Sulochana went on to do numerous films which not only set the box office on fire, but also established her as an A-list star.

One of her most memorable roles was in Wild Cat of Bombay.

She played eight different characters: a street urchin, a mali, a policeman, a banana seller, a Hyderabadi man, and even a blonde!
