Legacy
In 1993, Nadia's great grandnephew, Riyad Vinci Wadia, made a documentary of her life and films, called Fearless: The Hunterwali Story, after watching the documentary at the 1993 Berlin International Film Festival, Dorothee Wenner, a German freelance writer, and film curator, wrote a book, Fearless Nadia - The true story of Bollywood's original stunt queen, which was subsequently translated to English in 2005. In 2011, the Australia India Institute at the University of Melbourne launched The Fearless Nadia Occasional Papers. These are original essays commissioned by the Australia India Institute focusing on various aspects of the relationship between India and Australia. The Institute declared that Fearless Nadia had brought a new joie de vivre and chutzpah into Indian cinema with her breathtaking ‘stunts’. The Occasional Papers Series seeks to inject a similar audacity and creative dialogue into the relationship between India and Australia.
