Nutan sues mother Shobhana Samarth

The Times of India

Nutan, daughter of the famous actress Shobhana Samarth, sued her mother over control of her own earnings, in a case that became a bitter family feud fought out in public. These cases were sensational, even by today's standards. The early 'item' dances and close-up kisses showed cinema's inherent voyeurism, which peaked in Hindi films of the 1980s and 1990s.

From TOI archives (December 16 | 1964)

In her deposition Nutan said that every pie invested in Shobhana Pictures was from her earnings. She also said that Tanuja, her younger sister, was earning.... When the compromise talks had failed, Nutan had orally told her mother that she (the mother) had forged her signature. She said this in the heat of the moment.
