Sadhana: with Sunil Dutt in Waqt (1965).This was one of her few swimsuit appearances; she also appeared in one in Budtameez. (See Shammi Kapoor
(Sadhana) and her BFFs under a waterfall in Rajkumar (1964). Sadhana played a tribal princess in the film.
Till the 1980s, when the tribal genre was finally abandoned by Hindi-Urdu cinema, there would be an almost mandatory sequence showing tribal women bathing in a stream or under a waterfall. This was done partly because Filmistan wanted to reassure urban audiences that the tribals (only the women and never the men) bathed regularly, and partly to take the message of regular ablutions to the tribals.
Till the 1980s, when the tribal genre was finally abandoned by Hindi-Urdu cinema, there would be an almost mandatory sequence showing tribal women bathing in a stream or under a waterfall. This was done partly because Filmistan wanted to reassure urban audiences that the tribals (only the women and never the men) bathed regularly, and partly to take the message of regular ablutions to the tribals.
Waqt (1965): (Sadhana) tells (Sunil Dutt) that he is entering the wrong, i.e. the women’s, shower cabin. She stops him from entering the blue door!
Waqt (1965): (Sadhana) slips in the water around the shower; (Sunil Dutt) steadies her.
Waqt (1965): Despite director Yash Chopra’s pretences to Western sophistication, this means that the female (Sadhana) goes to the shower room with a blue door, while the man (Sunil Dutt) enters the pink shower room.
Waqt (1965): (Sadhana) begins to take her swimsuit off.
Waqt (1965): While (Sadhana) is doing so, (Sunil Dutt) offscreen, switches off the lights of her cabin from some switch in his shower cabin! Mercifully, modern hotel swimming pools no longer offer this facility to the male partner in the pink room.
Waqt (1965): The sudden darkness causes (Sadhana) to freeze in panic.
This was considered the most erotic sequence ever shown in an Indian film till then because of the implied stripping off of the swimsuit’s top.
It was also applauded for the way it built up tension in the mind of the third angle of the film’s love triangle. (Raaj Kumar) was in the corridor outside the two adjacent shower rooms, eavesdropping on the lovebirds’ conversation, seething with jealousy and unconsciously lighting matchstick after matchstick.
