(GNB Desk): Indian author Sam Jawadi stumbled on a treasure trove of vintage Bollywood photos in her aunt Najma’s belongings.
“My aunt passed away many years ago. Among her belongings was an old album that she was very fond of. The album remained lost for many years, buried somewhere in a storeroom in the basement. It was found again recently during a clean-up.
Jawadi wrote- As a young girl growing up in a small town in 1950s and 60s, she was completely enamored by movies. Much to the disapproval of her mother, she spent her free time writing fan mail to movie stars and over a time, built up quite a collection of autographed pictures and letters.
“Sadly, most of it is now in a bad shape but I managed to salvage a few that I am posting in this thread. I’m sure she would have loved to show off her collection. So, here it is…. Jawadi twitted with sharing images.
That’s all I could salvage. I found it to be a fascinating glimpse of the film industry as it was 60 years ago, in an era much before emails, social media and selfies. Hope you enjoy the thread as much as I did putting it together.” – from Sam Jawadi tweet
