Nalini Jaywant, well-known actress of yesteryears who mesmerised cinegoers with her tantalising portrayal in "Munimjee", co-starring Dev Anand, died at the age of 84 at her home earlier this week in Chembur in north-east Mumbai. 
According to film industry sources, the actress had turned into a complete recluse for the last few years after the death of her husband, actor Prabhu Dayal. She died on Tuesday of a heart attack, a distant relative of hers said.
Neighbours said her servant informed her distant relative, who was seen placing the body in an ambulance for the last rites. A stunned Dev Anand, who acted with her in a couple of films, including "Kala Pani", said he was shocked to hear about her death.
She made her debut in films with "Radhika", released in 1941, and went on to feature with big names like Dilip Kumar and Nargis in "Anokha Pyar", a love triangle. She starred opposite Ashok Kumar in "Samadhi", "Sangram", "Mr X" and "Kafila" and opposite Kishore Kumar in "Muqqadar".
Her other notable films were "Behan", "Jalpari", "Shikast", "Jaadu", "Mehbooba", "Raj Kanya", "Railway Platform", "Saloni" and "Bombay Race Course".
Jaywant won the Filmfare best supporting actress award for her portrayal in the 1958 film "Kala Pani". Her last released movie was 1983's "Nastik", in which she made a comeback to films.
A Filmfare poll in the 1950s had named her the most beautiful woman in the Hindi film world.
