Biografie
Biografie
Samarth, die graag actrice wilde worden maar door haar familie haar droom niet kon verwezenlijken, trouwde met filmregisseur Kumarsen Samarth en begon zo aan haar filmcarrière. Ze maakte haar debuut met de Marathi film Vilasi Ishwar, die ook een versie in het Urdu kreeg. Daaropvolgend was ze in zeer veel films gesproken in Hindi te zien. Samarth was bij het publiek zeer geliefd in de rol van Devi Maa Sita, waardoor ze de rol vaker vertolkte gedurende haar carrière. Haar moeder Rattan Bai was eenmalig als actrice te zien in de Marathi film Swarajyachya Seemewar (1938) als de moeder van Shivaji. Samarth is de moeder van actrices Tanuja en Nutan die zij introduceerde in de filmindustrie met de door haar zelf geregisseerde films Hamari Beti (1950) en Chhabili (1960). Ze is tevens de grootmoeder van acteurs Kajol, Tanishaa Mukerji en Mohnish Bahl.
