भारतीय सिनेमा जगत में दुर्गा खोटे को एक ऎसी अभिनेत्री के रूप में याद किया जाता है, जिन्होंने महिलाओं के लिये फिल्म इंडस्ट्री में काम करने का मार्ग प्रशस्त किया। दुर्गा खोटे जिस समय फिल्मों में आई उन दिनों फिल्मों में काम करने से पहले पुरूष ही स्त्री पात्र का भी अभिनय किया करते थे। ऎसी हालत में दुर्गा खोटे ने फिल्मों में काम करने का फैसला किया और इसके बाद से ही सम्मानित परिवारों की लड़कियां और महिलाएं फिल्मों में काम करने लगीं। 14 जनवरी 1905 को मुंबई में जन्मी दुर्गा खोटे ने वर्ष 1931 में प्रदर्शित प्रभात फिल्म कम्पनी की मूक फिल्म फरेबी जाल में एक छोटी सी भूमिका से अपने फिल्मी कैरियर की शुरूआत की। इसके बाद दुर्गा खोटे ने वी. शांताराम की मराठी फिल्म अयोध्येचा राजा (1932) में काम किया। इस फिल्म में दुर्गा खोटे ने रानी तारामती की भूमिका निभायी। अयोध्येचा राजा मराठी में बनी पहली बोलने वाली फिल्म थी।

इस फिल्म की सफलता के बाद दुर्गा खोटे बतौर अभिनेत्री अपनी पहचान बनाने में कामयाब हो गई। इसके बाद प्रभात फिल्म कंपनी की ही वर्ष 1932 में प्रदर्शित फिल्माया मछिन्दर में दुर्गा खोटे ने एक बहादुर योद्धा की भूमिका निभाई। इसके लिए उन्होंने योद्धा के कपडे पहने और हाथ में तलवार पकड़ी। वर्ष 1934 में कलकत्ता की ईस्ट इंडिया फि ल्म कंपनी ने सीता फिल्म का निर्माण किया, जिसमें दुर्गा खोटे के नायक पृथ्वीराज कपूर थे। देवकी कुमार बोस निर्देशित इस फिल्म में उनके दमदार अभिनय ने उन्हें शीर्ष अभिनेत्रियों की कतार में खडा कर दिया। प्रभात फिल्म कंपनी की वर्ष 1936 में बनी फिल्म अमर ज्योति से दुर्गा खोटे का काफी ख्याति मिली।

दुर्गा खोटे जब महज 26 साल की थी तभी उनके पहले पति विश्वनाथ खोटे का असामयिक निधन हो गया। परिवार चलाने और बच्चों के परवरिश के लिये दुर्गा खोटे ने फिल्मों में काम करना जारी रखा। बाद में उन्होंने मोहम्मद राशिद नाम के व्यक्ति से दूसरा विवाह किया लेकिन उनके साथ गृहस्थी ज्यादा दिन नहीं चल पाई। इस बीच उनके छोटे बेटे हरिन का भी देहांत हो गया। दुर्गा खोटे ने 1937 में एक फिल्म साथी का निर्माण और निर्देशन भी किया। दुर्गा खोटे इंडियन पीपुल्स थियेटर एसोसिएशन इप्टा से जुडी रहीं। दुर्गा खोटे फिल्मों के साथ ही रंगमंच विशेषकर मराठी रंगमंच पर भी कई वर्षो तक सक्रिय रहीं। दुर्गा खोटे ने बाद के वर्षो में कई फिल्मों में मां की भूमिकाएं निभाई। के.आसिफ की फिल्म मुगले आजम में रानी जोधाबाई के उनके किरदार को दर्शक आज तक नहीं भूल पाए हैं। इसके अलावा उन्होंने विजय भट्ट की क्लासिक फिल्म भरत मिलाप में कैकेयी की भूमिका निभाई। दुर्गा खोटे ने मुम्बई मराठी साहित्य संघ के लिए कई नाटकों में काम किया। शेक्सपीयर के मशहूर नाटक मैकबेथ के वी. वी. शिरवाडकर द्वारा राजमुकुट नाम से किए गए मराठी रूपांतरण में उन्होंने लेडी मैकबेथ का किरदार निभाया था जो काफी चर्चित रहा था।

दुर्गा खोटे ने अपने पांच दशक से भी अधिक लंबे कैरियर में हिन्दी और मराठी की लगभग दो सौ फिल्मों में काम किया। इसके अलावा उन्होंने अपनी कंपनी फैक्ट फिल्म्स और फिर दुर्गा खोटे प्रोडक्शंस के बैनर तले तीस साल से अधिक समय तक कई लघु फिल्मों, विज्ञापन फिल्मों, वृत्तचित्रों और धारावाहिकों का निर्माण भी किया। छोटे पर्दे के लिए उनका बनाया गया सीरियल वागले की दुनिया दर्शकों के बीच काफी लोकप्रिय हुआ था। दुर्गा खोटे ने मराठी भाषा में मी दुर्गा खोटे नाम से मराठी भाषा में अपनी आत्मकथा भी लिखी जो काफी चर्चित रही। बाद में आई दुर्गा खोटे नाम से इसका अंग्रेजी अनुवाद भी किया गया। भारतीय सिनेमा में उनके उल्लेखनीय योगदान के लिए उन्हें 1983 में सर्वोच्च सम्मान दादा साहेब फाल्के पुरस्कार से सम्मानित किया गया। वर्ष 1968 में दुर्गा खोटे को पद्मश्री पुरस्कार से भी सम्मानित किया गया। अपने दमदार अभिनय से दर्शकों को मंत्रमुग्ध करने वाली महान अभिनेत्री 22 सितम्बर 199। को इस दुनिया को अलविदा कह गईं।

    Durga Khote (January 14, 1905 − September 22, 1991) was an Indian actress, starting as one of the foremost leading ladies of her times, she remained active in Hindiand Marathi cinema, as well as theatre, for over 50 years, starring in around 200 films and numerous theatre productions.
    In 2000, in a millennium issue, India Today named her among "100 People Who Shaped India", noting, "Durga Khote marks the pioneering phase for woman in Indian Cinema"[1] as she was one of the first women from respectable families to enter the film industry, thus breaking a social taboo.[2]
    She also ranks among the top ten actresses in mother roles in Hindi cinema,[3] most notable among them were as Jodhabai in K. Asif's Mughal-e-Azam (1960), as Kaikeyiin Vijay Bhatt's classic, Bharat Milap (1942); her other memorable roles as mother were in Charnon Ki Dasi (1941), Mirza Ghalib, Bobby (1973) and Bidaai (1974). She was received the highest award in Indian cinema, the Dadasaheb Phalke Award (1983), for lifetime contribution to Indian cinema.

    Early life[edit]

    She was born as Vita Laud, to a family which hailed from Goa and spoke Konkani at home.[4] Her father's name was Pandurang Laud and her mother's name was Manjulabai.[5] She grew up in a large joint family in Kandewadi. She was educated at Cathedral High School and St. Xavier’s College where she studied B.A. While still in college, she married into the Khote family, graduated and settled down with her husband.[6]
    By the age of 26, Durga Khote was a widowed mother with two young sons, Bakul and Harin. She had to seek work in film to support her children. In doing so, she became a pioneer of sorts: She hailed from a traditional family and the film industry was regarded as the preserve of the base and the bawdy. Also, most of the female characters were played by men at the time.

    Early career[edit]


    Khote as Taramati inAyodhyecha Raja.
    Durga Khote debuted in a minor role in an obscure 1931 silent film, Farebi Jaal, by the Prabhat Film Company, followed by Maya Machindra (1932). She was soon promoted to play heroine in the 1932 double version (Hindi and Marathi) Ayodhyecha Raja, another Prabhat film, which was the first-ever Marathi talkie and proved to be a runaway hit, where she played the role of Rani Taramati.[7] Indeed, she ventured yet another pioneering trend: Despite working closely with Prabhat Film Company, she broke away from the "studio system" (exclusive contract with a studio to work in its films on a monthly salary) then in vogue and became one of the first "freelance" artistes of that era by working occasionally with the New Theatres, East India Film Co. (both at Calcutta), and Prakash Pictures.
    In 1937, she produced and directed a film titled Saathi, making her one of the first women to step into this role in Indian cinema.[8] The 40s opened for her in a big way, with award-winning performances in Aachary Atre's Payachi Dasi(Marathi) and Charnon Ki Dasi (Hindi) (1941) and Vijay Bhatt's classic, Bharat Milap (1942), both of which got her the BFJA Best Actress Award for two consecutive years.
    Durga Khote remained active in theatre circuit for many years, especially the Marathi theatre in Mumbai. She was actively associated with the Indian People's Theatre Association (IPTA) and worked in several plays for the Mumbai Marathi Sahitya Sangh. In 1954, she famously performed the role of Lady Macbeth, in V.V. Shirwadkar's Marathi adaptations of Macbeth, asRajmukut, The Royal Crown, along with Nanasaheb Phatak.[9]

    Later career[edit]

    Durga Khote played a wide variety of roles over a career that was not only long but also untouched by scandal. She was the inspiration for several generations of Indian actresses, including veterans like the late Shobhna Samarth, who frequently spoke of how she had been inspired by Khote's example.
    During later years, she played several important character roles, such as the mother of the protagonist. Her portrayal of Jodhabai, the queen of Akbar torn between duty towards her husband and love towards her son inMughal-e-Azam (1960) was well received. She went on to play other widely appreciated character roles in later movies such as the role of the grandmother of the heroine in Bobby (1973), the hero's aunt in Abhimaan(1973), and thee really memorable Bidaai (1974), where she played a mother, a very sensitive role that can make one cry and received the Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award.
    In 1963, she acted in Merchant Ivory's debut film, The Householder (1963),[10][11] and her final memorable role was in Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Bawarchi (1972).
    She acted in over 200 films in her career. By the 1980s she successfully diversified into production of short films, ad films and documentaries by setting up Fact Films and, later, Durga Khote Productions, which produced theDoordarshan TV series Wagle Ki Duniya.

    Personal life[edit]

    Her two sons Bakul and Harin were born from her first marriage with Vishwanath Khote. It was a traditional marriage into an orthodox family. Vishwanath Khote was from a millionaire family who were, at that time, the largest share brokers and road contractors. Vishwanath was a mechanical engineer from Banaras Hindu University who died young. After she was widowed, Khote had an unsuccessful second marriage to Mohammed Rashid.[12][not in citation given] Harin himself died at a young age, and was survived by his wife, Vijaya Mehta and two sons.[13]
    Her grandchildren include Ravi, a filmmaker; granddaughter Anjali Khote; grandson Deven Khote, a television producer,[14] and a noted film producer, making films like Jodhaa Akbar and Life in a Metro.[15]
    Her brother-in-law, Nandu Khote, was a noted stage and silent movie actor. His daughter Shubha Khote acted in Hindi films; debuting in Seema (1955), she later directed and produced Marathi films and entered television in the 90s. Viju Khote, most known for his role of Kalia in Sholay (1975) is a noted character actor, and younger brother of Shobha. Shobha's daughter, Bhavna Balsaver, is an award-winning TV actress. They appeared together in 1993's sitcom Zabaan Sambhalke on DD Metro.[16][17]
    Later in life she wrote her acclaimed autobiography in Marathi which was later translated into English as I, Durga Khote,[18] and moved to Alibaug, near Mumbai. She died on September 22, 1991.
