Though Hamari Beti did not accrue much success at the box offices, their joint efforts paid off, and NutanвЂ™s performance in the film was hailed as natural and demonstrating the signs of great promise. The veteran actor MotilalВ made her rehearse every scene in the film, leaving no stone unturned to make sure she provided a good performance. Her mother trained her in facial expressions and helped her overcome juvenile mannerisms she was prone to. Nutan officially made her screen debut a few years later in Hamari BetiВ (1950) when she was barely fifteen years old. At eight, she acted onscreen for the first time in Nala Damayanti (1945), a film directed by her father. She was only five years old, a participant in a variety programme featuring Juthika Roy, the Nightingale of Bengal. Falling easily into her life as a celebrated artiste for years to come, she signed her first autograph in 1941. Trained in dance, she was keen to display her prowess. Confident and completely devoid of stage fright, Nutan gave her first public performance at the Taj Mahal Hotel in Bombay when she was only two and a half years old. Unfortunately, her voice was too thin and piping to be considered melodious. She was also very fond of music and learnt classical music for four years under the tutelage of the famous maestro Jagannath Prasad. Good at swimming, horse-riding, driving cars and badminton, she had a leaning towards an outdoorsy life. Like her mother Shobhana, Nutan studied at BaldwinвЂ™s High School in Bangalore. Nutan and Tanuja also had two siblings, sister Chatura and brother Jaideep. Shobhana Samarth was a popular star in the 1940s, and the gift for acting seems to have carried over into her two daughters, Nutan and Tanuja. The actress Nutan was born on 4 June 1936 to the actress Shobhana Samarth and the filmmaker Kumarsen Samarth.
