Many errors

The latest change to this page contains numerous factual errors. Examples include:

  • "born Mahjabeen Begum" - actually born Mahjabeen Bano [1]
  • "Meena Kumari was the third daughter of Ali Baksh and Iqbal Begum" - actually was the second daughter [2]
  • "Irshad and Madhu were her two elder sisters" - Khursheed was her elder sister and Mahaleka@Madhu was her younger sister [3] [4]
  • "Her father, a Shia Muslim" - he was a Sunni Muslim [5] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luview (talk • contribs) 14:54, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have changed her birth name from Mahjabeen Begum to Mahjabeen Bano. Regarding the other changes you want to be made, it would've been easier if you could specify the pages from the book you cited as a reference. Malayala Sahityam (talk) 18:25, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Minakumari.jpg

Image:Minakumari.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:18, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indian English?

Grammatical error

Under the heading "Relationship with Kamal Amrohi", please make a change in the first line from "...15 years elder than..." to "...15 years older than...". Basically a grammatical error. Nadsat71 (talk) 11:20, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Did Meena Kumari Have Deformed Fingers?

I saw an online claim that, like the modern Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan, Meena Kumani had abnormalities involving at least one hand. In her case it was supposedly carefully concealed in her movie scenes. If true, this might be a partial explanation for her increasing feelings of isolation and sadness, since in her day such abnormalities were cruelly mocked. If anyone has reliable sources, they should be included in the article. Younggoldchip (talk) 16:38, 30 June 2014 (UTC) Younggoldchip (talk) 16:38, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

During an accident in Mahabaleshwaram on 21st May 1951, Meena Kumari's lower bone of her left hand pinky was fractured in a way that it remained tilted throughout her life. This fact was moreover confirmed by her stepson Mr.Taajdar Amrohi, who was very fond of his step mother or 'Chhoti Ammi' मीना कुमारी (talk) 12:19, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 17 January 2017

The section titled "The Poetess Naaz" is improperly delimited. As a result, the entire Legacy section appears italicized. Could you look into this? 223.186.45.94 (talk) 12:29, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

 Partly done - I don't see it in italics - it was indented from the left hand margin, which I corrected by closing the blockquote - Arjayay (talk) 12:49, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Error in Meena Kumari's year of birth

I have been repeatedly trying to change her year of birth from 1933 to 1932 but somehow this error re-appears now and then. I do have certain arguements which furthur supports that she was actually born in 1932:-

  • Meena Kumari's biography by Vinod Mehta on Page 13 suggests her year of birth to be 1932,still there is a note given below which hints of some sort of confusion.
  • She was the "heroine Meena Kumari" in Ramnik Productions' Bachchon Ka Khel which was released in 1946. This wikipedia page too confirms that she was just fourteen when the film released. (1932+14=1946)
  • This article also supports the fact that she got married at 19, on February 14th,1952 (If she was born in Aug 1932,then by Feb 1952 she was actually 19)
  • Kamal Amrohi-her husband, was born on January 17th,1918 and was 15 years elder than her (Her date of birth being August 1st,1932 she was younger to him by 14 years and 7 months,which is close to 15 years)

So, I would like to request the editor to take note of these facts and change her year of birth from 1933 to 1932. Regards

Hi, Replying the queries

  • As per Filmfare 1954 article Meena ji's date of birth is 1 August 1933, it was published on 2 April 1954 with a special article on Meena Kumari. I added the reference link of the article to Meena Kumari Wiki page.
  • Meena Kumari's biography by Vinod Mehta do mention the date of birth as 1932 with a note in end pages saying "The date is confirmed but not the year. Some people say she was born in 1933."
  • Vinod Mehta also said in the book he couldn't access some of the old FilmIndia & Filmfare Magzines as they were not easily available.
  • Filmfare magzine mentioning Meena Kumari date of birth 1933 was issued on 2 April 1954 during Meena Kumari life & Vinod Mehta's book 1st edition was published in October 1972 & 2nd edition in 2013 after Meena Kumaris death & mentioned the date of birth with a error note.

hope this cleared the confusion. A request plz change Meena ji's year of birth from 1932 to 1933 Regards--Rockyleo94 (talk) 12:35, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
