Smita Patil belongs to a generation of actresses, including Suhasini Mulay and Shabana Azmi , strongly associated with a radically political cinema of the 1970s. Her work includes films with parallel cinema directors like Shyam Benegal , Govind Nihalani and Mrinal Sen and the more commercial Bollywood cinema of Bombay . She was an Alumna of the Film And Television Institute Of India , Pune . In 1977, she won the National Award for 'Best Actress' for her performance in the Hindi film '' Bhumika ''. In her films, Patil's character often represents an intelligent femininity that stands in relief against the conventional background of male-dominated cinema (films like '' Bhumika '', ''Umbartha'', and ''Bazaar''). In her more commercial films, her glamorous roles reveal the permeable boundaries between 'serious' cinema and 'Bollywood' in the Hindi film industry (films like ''Shakti'' and ''Namak Halaal''). Patil was working as a TV news reader when Shyam Benegal discovered her, she was also an accomplished photographer. She was married to the Hindi film actor Raj Babbar . She died in 1986 due to complications from the birth of her son. FILMOGRAPHY
