In fact, ETimes can now also tell you that of late, Madhur Bhushan has been trying high and low to get a filmmaker's nod for the biopic.

In this regard, it could be perhaps only fitting if she gets the double honour that her sister has pitched for. Well, Madhubala remains a huge name till date and it is unlikely that its aura will ever diminish in stature and size. But we also can’t ignore the fact that Madhubala needs an honour and a recognition." It was Hindi cinema’s directors like K Asif, Mehboob Khan, Kedar Sharma and stars like Dev Anand and Raj Kapoor who helped make her career. But if she was so special, why didn’t anyone come forward and show her some recognition, why didn’t anyone facilitate her or celebrate her legacy? Bollywood played a huge role in making Madhubala. Said Madhur Bhushan, with a strong tinge of complaint in her voice, "It’s been 53 years since my sister passed away, why couldn’t anyone hold one event in her memory? Why couldn’t one organisation give her a posthumous award? Why has there been no recognition awarded to her? Why wasn’t she ever considered for a Bharat Ratna? Everyone says she was so beautiful and talented.

On Sunday, we brought you an interview with Madhur Bhushan (embedded below), the sister of the evergreen icon Madhubala, advocating that her apa (as she fondly called her sis) deserves a biopic and Bharat Ratna both.
