The Samarths
The Samarth family is a Marathi CKP (Chandraseniya Kayastha Prabhu) family. Their legacy in films began with Rattan Bai, a popular actress of the 1940s. Her daughter Shobhna Samarth (1915-9 February 2000), was an actress and acted in films such as Love in Simla (1960), which also featured Joy Mukherjee. Shobna's cousin, Nalini Jaywant, was also an actress.
Shobna's daughters are Chatura, Tanuja and Nutan. Tanuja and Nutan carried on the family tradition. Tanuja was a moderate success, but it was Nutan (June 4, 1936 - February 1991) who became a huge star. She holds the record for the most Filmfare awards won for Best Actress along with her niece Kajol.
Tanuja and Nutan's children have also entered the film industry; they are the fourth generation of Samarths to do so. Nutan's son Mohnish Behl is an actor; Tanuja's daughters Kajol and Tanisha are actresses.
