Google Doodle pays tribute to ‘Fearless Nadia’, India’s queen of stunts
Mary Ann Evans, better known as Fearless Nadia, took on stereotypes and with her whip in Hunterwali, became the Hindi film world’s queen of stunts.
The Indian film industry celebrates the impossible, showcasing actors completing death-defying acts and stunts and coming out with not a scratch.
And the credit for this high-voltage action goes to stuntpersons. Today’s Google Doodle commemorates the 110th birth anniversary of actor and stuntwoman Mary Ann Evans, better known as ‘Fearless Nadia’.
Nadia, dressed in leather boots with her face in a mask, beating bulky men to a pulp with her whip is her most famous image, which has been etched in public memory for generations.
