Azuri - First of the Dancing Sirens

Before Helen there was Cuckoo, and before Cuckoo there was a popular dancer on whom Cuckoo modeled herself, and her name was Azuri. This Anglo-Indian woman used to freelance for all the studios in the days  when the other popular dancer of that era Sunita Devi used to work with only Ranjit Movietone studio.


Some of her best work was in Gentlemen Daku (1937) and in Mehboob Khan's Watan (1938). Her only full starring role was in a film called 'Maya' in which she played the role of hero-chasing spoilt daughter of a rich man.
