'''Bela Bose''' is an Indian dancer and actress who was active in [[Hindi films]] during the 1960s and 70s.<ref name="CowieElley1977">{{cite book|first1=Peter|last1=Cowie|first2=Derek |last2=Elley|title=World Filmography: 1967|url={{google books |plainurl=y |id=Jp7ayTLX1D8C|page=265}}|year=1977|publisher=Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press|isbn=978-0-498-01565-6|pages=265–}}</ref>

== Early life ==

Bela Bose was born in [[Calcutta]] in a well-to-do family. Her father was a cloth merchant and her mother was a homemaker. Following a bank crash that wiped out their fortune, the family relocated to [[Bombay]] in 1951. She started her career as a schoolgirl as a group dancer in films to help support her family after her father's death in a road accident. She picked up more films after she finished her schooling.

== Career ==

Bela Bose began to receive independent credit from the late 1950s. Her big break came when she was asked to do a dance number with [[Raj Kapoor]] in ''Main Nashe Mein Hoon'', released in 1959. Her first leading role was in ''Sautela Bhai'' (1962) opposite Guru Dutt at age 21. She honed her acting skills performing in Bengali plays. Her career consisted of more than 150 films. In ''Hawa Mahal'' (1962), she played the role of Helen's sister.<ref name="Pinto2006">{{cite book|first=Jerry |last=Pinto|title=Helen: The Life and Times of an H-bomb|url={{google books |plainurl=y |id=Ng_vVIcq5yQC|page=241}}|year=2006|publisher=Penguin Books India|isbn=978-0-14-303124-6|pages=241–}}</ref> She was often called upon to play the role of a vamp.
