(Kala Paani, 1958)
Dev Anand remembers Madhubala in his autobiography :
'I remember the film ' Kala Pani ' the most for Madhubala, the most beautiful of all heroines in the fairy land of films with her natural looks and always as fresh as morning dew. Her childlike innocence was accentuated by the most noticeable trait of her character, her famous giggle. She was forever giggling at the slightest pretext. Nobody knew when the next bout of giggles would come, and once it did, how long it would last !
Many times she would suddenly start giggling during a take when the camera was on. The lights had to be switched off indefinitely and tea ordered,until she was able to get a hold of herself.
The great giggler was perhaps laughing a the world around her that did not knew that she had a damaged heart, and would die quite young......'
