Nimmi’s real name was Nawab Banoo and it was Raj Kapoor who gave her the name Nimmi. Her last big-screen appearance was 1986 release Love and God which released after a delay of 23 years. The movie starred Sanjeev Kumar opposite Nimmi and it was an adaptation of Laila Majnu.

We pray that her soul rests in peace.
