I had to know where and when this disease of mislabeling started. So, just like medical detectives looking for Patient Zero, I started to look for Idiot Zero. Luckily, Google came to the rescue. It gives you an option to search by date. So I typed <"hasrat jaipuri" before:2010> in Google Image search box. The quotes catch only him and the before restricts the search to before Jan 1, 2010. Only real photos of Hasrat Sahib showed up. Continued increasing the year, found success with 2015. Only 2 mislabeled images showed up, all the others had the real photo. The earlier of the two was on May 29, 2014 by a guy called RJ Gaurav. He seems to be some kind of radio jockey. Here is the image in question.

Basically:

Madhubala signed a contract and started Naya Daur shooting with Dilip Kumar

When the time came for an outdoor shoting, her father made her walk out.

BR Chopra sued her.

Her father said the suit was instigated by Dilip because she had rejected her.

Dilip Kumar was called as a witness and was cross-examined.

Both sides accused each other.

I believe the money was returned and it was settled out of court. [Please correct me if I am wrong.]

The proceedings as reported in Times of India, Bombay April-May 1957.
