Her ‘antim darshan’ will be held at her Prabhadevi residence, and the cremation will take place at Shivaji Park crematorium on Monday at 5.30 pm.

From her 40s, Sulochana became various directors’ favourite for mother’s roles.

She featured in ‘Dil Dekhe Dekho’ with Shammi Kapoor, ‘Aadmi’ with Dilip Kumar; a number of Dev Anand-starrers like ‘Johny Mera Naam’, ‘Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hai’, ‘Duniya and ‘Amir Garib’; a number of movies featuring Rajesh Khanna such as ‘Baharon Ke Sapne’, ‘Kati Patang’, ‘Mere Jeevan Saathi’, ‘Prem Nagar’ and ‘Adhikar’.

She played the mother in a number of other hit films like ‘Kora Kagaz’, ‘Muqaddar Ka Sikandar’, ‘Himmatwala’ and ‘Andar Baahar’.
