Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) India’s first actress to win the Bharat Ratna — Meena Kumari
‘Jhansi Ki Rani’ (1953) is acknowledged as India’s first full-length Technicolor feature, and ‘My Dear Kuttichathan’ (1984) was the country’s first 3-D film. Subhash Ghai’s ‘Taal’ (1999) pioneered film-insurance in India. No actress—including Meena Kumari—has ever been awarded the Bharat Ratna (the first film personalities to receive it were director Satyajit Ray in 1992 and singer Lata Mangeshkar in 2001). Therefore pair (d) is the wrongly matched one. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jhansi_Ki_Rani_%281953_film%29?utm_source=openai))
