<h2>Farida Jalal&rsquo;s cute dance moves&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Clad in a floral salwar suit, Farida Jalal can be seen recreating the thumkas 52 years later with the cutest facial expressions as she shakes a leg to the catchy song. Loafer, directed by A. Bhimsingh, stars Dharmendra, Mumtaz in lead roles, with Om Prakash, Premnath, and K. N. Singh in other important roles. The music was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Koi Shehri Babu, sung by Asha Bhosle, shows Farida and Mumtaz as friends.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Farida Jalal&rsquo;s work front&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Farida started her journey at 17 with the film Taqdeer, a role offered to her by Tarachand Barjatya, grandfather of Sooraj Barjatya. She went on to essay several characters in cinema, both mainstream and parallel films, but the first phase of her getting typecast started when she was offered the role of Dilip Kumar's sister in Gopi.</p>
<p>What followed was a string of roles of the hero's sister where she went on to work with the likes of Dharmendra, Jeetendra, Manoj Kumar, Sanjeev Kumar, and Amitabh Bachchan.</p>
<p>The actress changed gears and ventured into the space of playing motherly roles in the 1990s. Who could forget her terrific stint as an empathetic mother to Kajol in the landmark film of Hindi cinema, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, followed by <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/farida-jalal-reveals-not-being-in-touch-with-shah-rukh-khan-must-have-changed-his-number-23353418" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>Kuch Kuch Hota Hai</strong></a>.</p>
<p>The actor has kept a good mix of cinema and television in her illustrious career. She has been a part of the iconic Indian sitcom Dekh Bhai Dekh and the drama show Balika Vadhu.</p>
<p>Heeramandi saw her essaying the role of Qudsia Begum, the grandmother to Taha Shah Badussha&rsquo;s character of Tajdar, Nawab. In the show, she essays the grandmother with a similar flair, brewing a heartwarming concoction of friendship and compassion with Tajdar.</p>
<p>Her upcoming project was Abir Gulaal, which courted controversy after the Pahalgam terror attack.&nbsp;</p><p><script type="text/javascript">atOptions={'key':'d0ddb8ef8f1a62a8cdd22fac27fc5ea7','format':'iframe','height':90,'width':728,'params':{}};</script></p><p>
