Mumbai, Jan 8 (NationPress) Actor Jackie Shroff on Thursday remembered the late actress Nanda on what would have been her 86th birth anniversary, reflecting on her elegance and enduring influence in Hindi cinema.

Jackie shared a video montage on his Instagram Stories, showcasing a collection of images of Nanda, set to the song “Yeh Samaa Samaa Hai Pyar Ka” from the classic 1965 film Jab Jab Phool Khile, directed by Suraj Prakash.
