I am happily watching Rungoli (1962) songs and writing down all the names of people, when I arrive at the song, 'Hum Tum, Ye Khoyi Khoyi Rahen'. I have no idea who the boy and the girl are. I look at the cast, a new guy Krishnakumar is mentioned, may be. There is a Sadhna also, but the famous Sadhna is nowhere to be seen in the film, may be.

So, I post it on RMIM for help. Within minutes, Syed Zafar Shah and Shefali Gandhi confirm my suspicions. But, before I enter it into the database and the books, I have to consult an expert. So, I messaged MN Sardana. I am taking the liberty of quoting him in full,

The gentleman is Krishan Kumar , who was the younger brother of Mr Amar Kumar, who directed Rungoli . He played the role of Lattoo  s/o Mr Nazir Hussain. The charming lady has been credited as Sadhna. She also did a few movies as Sadhna Chowdhri, to avoid confusion. Please watch her in 1963 movie Dekha Pyar Tumhara, which was directed by Mr K Parvez, who later changed his name as Kalptaru.

AS you know, I am watching Hindi films from Volume 4 of HFGK (1961-1970) for Song Picturization info. Trying to get as many Junior Artists and Background Dancers as I can. Sometimes I am surprised to see famous people totally uncredited anywhere.

Today I want to talk about Edwina whom I saw sitting in the song 'Yaa Habeebee, O Aa Qareebee' from Isi Ka Nam Duniya Hai (1962). Because she was just sitting, she got Rs 20. For dancing she would have gotten Rs 26.

So now the number of films she has appeared in is one more than before, 114.

Bottom right at the table.
