Bollywood's grand dame Zohra Sehgal, a star of Indian stage and screen for seven decades, celebrated her 100th birthday Friday. Described as the doyenne of Indian theater, Sehgal started out as a dancer before moving into acting, working primarily on the stage but also making her name in Hindi and English-language films and TV series over the years. During a stint in Britain after winning a drama scholarship, she appeared in several productions including the 1980s landmark TV series “The Jewel In The Crown”. Sehgal's film credits include “Dil Se” (From the heart), “Bend it Like Beckham” and “The Mystic Masseur.”
