Rehana Sultan is an Indian actress best known for her debut role in the acclaimed 1970 film Dastak which won her the National Film Award for Best Actress.
A graduate of Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune,[1] she is also known for another bold role in the film Chetna (1970), which got her typecast thus ending her film career, despite its promising start.[2][3][1]
She said "The sex in my films was not forced, but part of the narrative. Today, I feel these scenes are used for commercial reasons. All I can say is Babuda was ahead of his times."[4]
