From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cukoo (also Cuckoo[1], died 1981[2]) was an Anglo-Indian dancer and actress in Indian cinema.
Performing in many Bollywood films of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, Cukoo was one of the biggest stars of her time. However, little is publicly known about her personal life, not even her real name, birth date, or exactly how or when she died.[2]
Cukoo was a family friend of the Anglo-Burmese dancer and actress Helen. Cukoo helped launch Helen's Bollywood career by finding her jobs as a chorus dancer in the films Shabistan and Awaara (1951).
