A recipient of two National Awards, actor Sharmila Tagore ruled the 60s and 70s. She made her acting debut at the age of 13 when she began shooting for Satyajit Ray's 'Apur Sansar' (World of Apu), the last in the celebrated Apu trilogy. The film was released on May 1, 1959. She went on to star in Bengali films such as Devi, Shes Anko, Nirjan Saikate and Barnali. She made her debut in the Hindi film industry with Shakti Samanta's Kashmir Ki Kali.

The yesteryear actress turns 78 today. Today, we look back at her wedding pictures with Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi.
