Nirupa Roy (born Kokila Kishorechandra Bulsara; 4 January 1931 – 13 October 2004) was an Indian actress . Noted for her portrayals of tragedy and sorrow, Roy was known for her acting ability, and was uncharitably called the "Queen of Misery" in Hindi film circles. Roy was active from 1946 to 1999, and was best known for playing motherly roles.Roy appeared in over 250 films, and won three Filmfare Awards throughout her career, as well as being nominated for one. In 2004, Roy received the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award.

Roy was born as Kokila Kishorechandra Bulsara in Kalwada, Valsad, Gujarat. She married Kamal Roy at the age of 15, and moved to Mumbai. She used her married name Nirupa Roy when she entered the film industry.

earlylife



In 1946, Roy and her hubby responded to an  announcement in a Gujarati paper looking for actors. She was  named and started her amusement career with the Gujarati film Ranakdevi. The same time she acted in her first Hindi film Amar Raj. One of her popular  flicks was Do Bigha Zamin( 1953). She largely played mythological characters in the  flicks of the 1940s and 50s. In Har Har Mahadev he played the  part of Parvati Devi  contrary Trilok Kapoor who played the  part of Shiva and the film was the top grosser of the time. Her image of a goddess was  veritably strong and people would visit her home and seek her blessings. Among herco-stars were Trilok Kapoor( with whom she played in eighteen  pictures),( 4) Bharat Bhushan, Balraj Sahni, and Ashok Kumar.   In the 1970s, her  part as  mama  to the characters played by Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor made her name synonymous to the impoverished suffering  mama . Her  part in Deewaar( 1975) and its  discourses with reference to a  mama  and son are used as clichés. 



On 13 October 2004, Roy suffered a cardiac arrest in Mumbai, and died at the age of 73.

Several tributes and articles have been made in Roy's memory.[9] Her dialogues from the film Deewaar became iconic, and her acting in the film along with her other notable films are considered to be a landmark in Hindi cinema
