Falling easily into her life as a celebrated artiste for years to come, she signed her first autograph in 1941.
Trained in dance, she was keen to display her prowess. Confident and completely devoid of stage fright, Nutan gave her first public performance at the Taj Mahal Hotel in Bombay when she was only two and a half years old. Unfortunately, her voice was too thin and piping to be considered melodious. She was also very fond of music and learnt classical music for four years under the tutelage of the famous maestro Jagannath Prasad. Good at swimming, horse-riding, driving cars and badminton, she had a leaning towards an outdoorsy life. Like her mother Shobhana, Nutan studied at Baldwin’s High School in Bangalore. Nutan and Tanuja also had two siblings, sister Chatura and brother Jaideep. Shobhana Samarth was a popular star in the 1940s, and the gift for acting seems to have carried over into her two daughters, Nutan and Tanuja. The actress Nutan was born on 4 June 1936 to the actress Shobhana Samarth and the filmmaker Kumarsen Samarth.
