Rattan Bai (12 June 1912 - 1 January 1986) was an Indian film actress and singer. She was the mother of actress Shobhna Samarth, grandmother of actresses Nutan and Tanuja, great grandmother of actresses Kajol, Tanishaa Mukerji and actor Mohnish Bahl.

Biography[edit]

Rattan Bai was a fairly talented singer who wrote bhajans, composed and sang them as well. She published the lyrics of her bhajans to distribute among friends who would sing with her during Maha Shivaratri celebrations at her home in Chembur. Rattanbai acted in only one Marathi film called Swarajyachya seemewar, as Shivaji's mother.

(She is not to be confused with another Rattanbai who acted in the films Yahudi Ki Ladki, Bharat Ki Beti, and sang "Tere poojan ko bhagwan".)[1]
