myers-The #bollywood superstar of 1930s #silent era
Born in #pune in 1907, #Ruby Myers wasn't your archetypal Bollywood starlet. Working as a #telephone operator, she had no prior acting experience. Yet, filmmaker Mohan Bhavnani saw potential in her, and Ruby, adopting the stage name #sulochana embarked on a remarkable #film career.
Despite societal disapproval of #women in #acting at the time, Sulochana's talent shone through. Her expressive eyes and captivating presence resonated with audiences in the silent film era. She quickly rose to stardom, becoming one of the highest-paid actresses, particularly during her time.
Sulochana's ambition extended beyond acting. In the mid-1930s, she defied expectations by establishing her own #production company, Rubi Pics.
Her contributions were recognized with the prestigious #dadasahebphalkeawards in 1973.
