Farida Jalal has made many of us smile with her characters throughout her acting career, from her roles in films to her characters in television shows. We have loved her in all ways, be it as our Magical Nani Maa or our Dilwali Daaijaan; she has always given strong performances. On Farida Jalal's birthday, let's look at five of her most loved roles:

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge - Lajjo
DDLJ is the one film that always remains on our favourite list. The film is known for the classic love story of Raj and Simran. In the film, Farida plays the role of a daughter's (Simran's) mother who is an Indian housewife who can't answer back to her husband but can't see her kids crying either. Lajjo's warmth and affection towards Simran resonate with audiences, making her a beloved figure in the iconic film. The scene where Lajjo asks Simran and Raj to elope makes many of us cry.
