&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life==&lt;br /&gt;
Raakhee was born in a [[Bengali people|Bengali]] family at [[Ranaghat]] in the [[Nadia district]] of [[West Bengal]] in the early hours of 15 August 1947, just hours after the [[Independence Day (India)|independence]] of India.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |last1=Saran |first1=Renu |title=Encyclopedia of Bollywood–Film Actresses |date=25 February 2014 |publisher=Diamond Pocket Books Pvt Ltd |isbn=978-93-5083-691-0 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Raakhee |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZnhTAAAAYAAJ |access-date=30 July 2022 |work=Film World |publisher=T.M.

Her father had a flourishing shoe business in his native village of Kushtia located in Meherpur, [[East Bengal]] which was then a part of Nadia district of undivided India (modern-day [[Bangladesh]]), before the [[partition of India]], and thereafter he settled in West Bengal. Whilst still a teenager, Raakhee had an arranged marriage to Bengali journalist/film director Ajay Biswas, which ended shortly afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the start of her film career, she dropped her surname and was mentioned in film credits only as &amp;quot;Raakhee&amp;quot;, by which name she attained stardom, but upon marrying lyricist-director, Sampooran Singh Kalra professionally known as [[Gulzar]], she took his pen name as her surname and is credited thereafter as Raakhee Gulzar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career==&lt;br /&gt;
In 1967, the 20-year-old Raakhee acted in her first Bengali film &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Bodhu Boron&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Baghini&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, after which she was offered the lead role in [[Rajshri Productions]]&amp;#039; crime thriller &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Jeevan Mrityu]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1970) opposite [[Dharmendra]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |title=Baghini (1968) Cast - Actor, Actress, Director, Producer, Music Director |url=https://www.cinestaan.com/movies/baghini-33701/cast-crew |access-date=26 December 2021 |website=Cinestaan}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;aparajeya&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book |author=Phani Sarma |title=অসমীয়া কথাছবি |year=1978}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
