Women’s Day 2025 Special: Who was India’s first female actor? Know everything about her

When we talk about the first female star of Indian cinema, the name Devika Rani comes up first on the internet. She made her debut in the year 1933 with the film ‘Karma’ and was in the news for her kissing scene in her very first film. If we search a little more on the internet, the name of ‘Fatima Begum’ also comes up as the first female artist. The late actor made her debut in Hindi cinema in the year 1922 through Ardeshir Irani’s silent film ‘Veer Abhimanyu.’ Later, she turned producer-director. But, do you know that this information available on the internet is false because Indian cinema got its first female artist with the 1913 film ‘Mohini Bhasmasur’. When we talk about the first female star of Indian cinema, the name Devika Rani comes up first on the internet.
