Cuckoo Moray

Though unfamiliar in name, she was known as the "rubber girl" of Hindi cinema and her talent made cabaret dancing a must in the Bollywood films during the 1940s and 1950s.

[2] Born during the late British Raj, Cuckoo made her screen debut in the film Arab Ka Sitara in 1946.

Her dance number in his film Anokhi Ada (1948) established her as the lead dancer of the era and in Andaz (1949), a romantic drama starring Nargis, Dilip Kumar, and Raj Kapoor, gave the dancing star an opportunity to display her acting skills.

Cuckoo and Helen most notably appeared in song and dance sequences together, such as in Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi (1958) and Yahudi (1958).

There was no money even to buy medicines, due to which Cuckoo could not get herself treated and no one from the film industry came forward to help her.
