Born in a Muslim family on 27 April 1912 in Saharanpur district of Uttar Pradesh, Zohra Sehgal is a well-known name in Indian cinema. Zohra was the seventh child of her parents. Zohra was of rebellious temperament since childhood. She lived like a tomboy in childhood. Like girls, he was not fond of playing with dolls, but liked climbing on trees and playing outside. Once in childhood, he saw Uday Shankar performing the dance. This was the turning point of his life.
Although Zohra's real name was Sahibzadi Zohra Mumtazullah Khan Begum, but after marriage her name became Zohra Sehgal. After graduation, Zohra participated in Uday Shankar's dance troupe. He performed the first dance in Japan with the dance troupe of Uther Shankar in 1935. It was here that he met Kameshwar Sehgal. After a few meetings, the two fell in love with each other. Kameshwar was eight years younger than Zohra in age, but his love saw no age limit. At first, Zohra's family refused to marry him, but later they agreed. They were married on 14 August 1942 in Allahabad. Kameshwar and Zohra have two children Kiran and Pawan Sehgal.
