Achala Sachdev

Achala Sachdev: Abandoned, Forgotten…

Does anyone remember Achala Sachdev, the eternal mom of filmdom, a bit playful, a bit sad, very sweet and a little lost…Achala Sachdev died a very lonely death in 2012 at a Pune hospital. Had she lived she would have been 101 on May 3. Considering how lonely she was after her British husband’s death , it was for the best that Achalajee went. I can’t remember a time when she was not playing a mother. Always suffering , coughing, roughing it out over the sewing machine. In Mera Naam Joker she was Raj Kapoor’s mother although he was just 4 years her junior | Click Here...
