Subhash Ghai’s box-office smash Hero (1983) produced a bouquet of chartbusters like ‘Tu Mera Jaanu Hai’, ‘Pyar Karne Waale Kabhi Darte Nahi’ and ‘Ding Dong Baby Ek Gaana Gao’. But the song that has become the oldest with time is ‘Lambi Judai’, a sad song filled with soul by Pakistani folk singer Reshma. Madhu Malhotra, who lipsynced the song of Dard on celluloid wearing a multicolored gypsy outfit, and who was one of the leading ladies in the superhit multi-starrer, ‘Satte Pe Satta’ (1982), died in Mumbai on Friday, according to trade magazine ‘Film Information’. She was 71 years old. Madhu was a well-known face of Hindi films of the 1970s and 1980s, acting in over 100 films, though mostly in small roles. She had regular roles in Ghai’s films ‘Vishwanath’ (1978), ‘Karz’ (1980) and ‘Vidhaata’ (1982) as well as Mohan Bhakri’s horror films like Khooni Murda (1989) and Roohani Takta (1991). She was paired with comedian Paintal in Satte Pe Satta. Older people may remember her as a happy girl wearing a cap on the beach in the song ‘Mausam Mastana’. Film director Anil Sharma said, “She had a small role in my film Shraddhaan (1981). She was a complete professional.”
