Magar aap sab logon ka pyaar jitna mila hai mujhe, mai kitni khushnaseeb hun. Kitne log hote hain zindagi me jinhein itna pyaar milta hai? Bahut kam!(Namaskar! I am Mumtaz.

Aur ek sher bolna chahti hu jaane se pehle....Ya to deewana hanse ya tu jise taufiyak de, warna is duniya me aakar muskurata kaun hai! (But do not worry, I am good and my health is fine too. My kids take good care of my health and I am very happy. Unlike the newspaper reports, I am not at all lonely. I am very happy. )”

“... there are some rumors going around that my mother wasn’t well and I would like her fans to know that she is doing brilliantly. It is just a rumour. She is in Rome with me and we are going for shopping today to buy some plants for my garden,” Tanya had said on Sunday.

She even featured in action films and it was not before Rajesh Khanna-starrer Do Raaste (1969) that she was recognised as a mainstream heroine. However, Khanna and Mumtaz were soon the hit jodi onscreen and the duo worked together in several films including Apna Desh (1972), Aaina (1977), Prem Kahani (1975), Aap Ki Kasam (1974), Roti (1974)and Saccha Jhootha (1970).
