Bindiya Goswami (born 6 January 1962) is an Indian former actress, who is best known for her works in Hindi cinema throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
Film career
[edit]Bindiya was discovered at a party, when she was a teenager, by Hema Malini's mother. She felt that Bindiya had a resemblance to Hema and recommended her to film producers. Bindiya's first Hindi film was Jeevan Jyoti opposite Vijay Arora. Though the film flopped, Bindiya forged ahead and met success with director Basu Chatterjee's Khatta Meetha (1977) and Prem Vivah (1979). Her biggest hit was Hrishikesh Mukherjee's comedy film Gol Maal (1979).[1] The success of Dada (1979) led her to sign a number of films with Vinod Mehra. She also bagged a role opposite Shashi Kapoor in the big-budget film Shaan (1980).
Career as costume designer
[edit]Bindiya has taken up designing costumes for female stars such as Rani Mukherjee, Kareena Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai for her husband J.P. Dutta's films, such as Border (1997), Refugee (2000), LOC Kargil (2003) and Umrao Jaan (2007).[2]
Personal life
[edit]Bindiya was born in Kaman, Bharatpur (Rajasthan) to Venugopal Goswami, a Tamil Iyengar Brahmin father, and Dolly, a Catholic mother. Her father was a priest of Vallabh Sampraday and married 2 times in his lifetime. Bindiya was initially married to her frequent co-star Vinod Mehra, but they divorced after four years of marriage.[3] Thereafter, Bindiya gave up her acting career to marry director J.P. Dutta in 1985,[4] with whom she has two daughters, Nidhi and Siddhi.[2] Nidhi, her daughter, is pursuing her mother's dream of becoming an actress.[5][6]
