Indian Actress Bindiya Goswami 1962

Bindiya Goswami (born 6 January 1962) is a former Bollywood actress. She acted in Hindi films from the late 1970s to early 1980s.

Born	January 6, 1962 (1962-01-06) (age 49) Mumbai, India
Occupation	actress
Years active	1970s–1980s (Retired)
Spouse	J.P. Dutta

Bindiya was discovered at a party, when she was just fourteen years old, by superstar Hema Malini's mother. She felt that Bindiya had a resemblance to Hema and recommended her to film producers. Her first Hindi film was "Jeevan Jyoti" where she co-starred with Vijay Arora whose career was on the decline, and the film flopped. Bindiya forged on ahead and soon became a success starring for director Basu Chatterjee in Khatta Meetha (1977) and Prem Vivah (1979). However, her biggest hit was for director Hrishikesh Mukherjee in the comedy Gol Maal (1979). That film's success led her to take Hema Malini's place in the big-budget film Shaan (1980), because Hema was busy with her other film commitments.

Career as costume designer

Bindiya has taken up designing costumes for female stars such as Rani Mukherjee and Kareena Kapoor for her husband J.P. Dutta's films, such as Border (1997), Refugee (2000) and LOC Kargil (2003).

Personal life and education

Bindiya was born in Mumbai. She had supposedly claimed that Vijay Arora, her leading man from her first film, harassed her. Her personal life became scandalous when she married her frequent leading man Vinod Mehra. He was already a married man who walked out on a supposedly unconsummated marriage to Meena Broca to be with Bindiya. Both of their families looked down on the marriage, which soon fizzled. Thereafter, Bindiya would give up her acting career to marry director J.P. Dutta, with whom she has two daughters, Nidhi and Siddhi.

Trivia

Bindiya knew actress Parveen Babi since she was a little girl, as her elder sister Pearl and Babi went to the same school. After both became actresses, they acted together in Shaan (1980), and Bindiya said that they had a lot of fun on that set.
