Today on the 110th birthday of we are here to tell you few things about fearless Nadia because most of very rarely know about Nadia. Fearless Nadia Fearless Nadia expressed a great shift in the way women were represented in Indian cinema, such as vamps, virgins or victims, and became what no woman had ever been before -- the hero.

According to the reports if we talk about Kangana Ranaut’s character “Jaanbaaz Miss Julia” in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Rangoon that was heavily assumes from the persona of Fearless Nadia — the swashbuckling stuntwoman-actress of Bombay cinema of the 30s and early 40s. Nadia, who did all of her performances by herself, fought on moving trains, threw herself into raging waterfalls, socialized with the lions and jumped from horseback onto ladders dangling from airplanes. “I’ll try anything once,” she famously said. But until the recent years, this her luminous legacy in Indian cinema largely lay buried and forgotten.

Born Mary Ann Evans, in Perth, Australia in 1908 to a British soldier father and Greek mother, she moved to Bombay in 1913 when her father got stationed there. Athletically inclined Evans was a natural performer, who by her mid-twenties had trained herself in horse riding, gymnastics, tennis, tap dance, and ballet, after which she went off to join a circus and traveled through the country. She also adopted a pseudonym — from Mary to the more exotic-sounding Nadia.
