Bhubaneswar: Born as Nawab Banoo, the doe-eyed 1950s actress got her screen name ‘Nimmi’ from filmmaker Raj Kapoor.
Kapoor spotted Nimmi on the sets of ‘Andaz’ and signed her for the second lead role in 1949s ‘Barsaat’. After the success of Barsaat, there was no looking back for Nimmi.
At the London premiere of her 1952s movie ‘Aan’, Hollywood’s legendary actor Errol Flynn tried to kiss her hand, but Nimmi quickly withdrew her hand stating that Indian girls don’t accept kisses. Since then, Nimmi became popular as Bollywood’s ‘No Kiss Girl’.
Here’s a list of some notable Hindi films in which Nimmi starred:
