## Biography

Jillo, also credited as Jilloo or Jillo Bai, was an Indian actress in Hindi cinema. Born in 1905 in Bombay, she began her career in the silent film era and appeared in early sound films, including India's first talkie *Alam Ara* (1931).

She is known for supporting roles as mothers and older women, including Shamu's mother (also referred to as Sundar Chachi) in *Mother India* (1957) and Anarkali's mother in *Mughal-e-Azam* (1960). She continued working into the 1960s and was sometimes billed as Jilloo Maa in later films.
