Anita Guha (17 January 1932 – 20 June 2007) was an Indian actress who usually played mythological characters in films.
Previously, she had played Sita in other mythological films; Sampoorna Ramayana (1961), Shree Ram Bharat Milap (1965) and Tulsi Vivah (1971).
Besides this, she also played notable roles in films such as Goonj Uthi Shehnai (1959), Purnima (1965), Pyar Ki Rahen (1959), Gateway of India (1957), Dekh Kabira Roya (1957), Lukochuri (1958) and Sanjog (1961).
People treated the movie theatres showing Jai Santoshi Maa as a temple, bringing offerings of food, leaving slippers at the door.
She wasn't happy that she became typecast as a mythological actress, because acting offers eventually stopped coming her way.
