Farida Jalal came to the centre of Twitter's attention when fake news about the actress' death spread like wildfire on the social networking site. Twitterati have even claimed the malicious rumours had been started by self-proclaimed movie critics KRK in a now-deleted tweet. Whether that was the case or not, it certainly made everyone realise just how important Farida is in the Bollywood fraternity. Indeed, when you think of the Bollywood 'mom', you instantly think of the wide-eyed actress. So here's a list of her five most memorable performances.

Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge: Sure, it is Kajol and Shahrukh Khan's show, but Farida is such an integral piece of this puzzle that you can't imagine the movie without her now.
-
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham: Farida is one of the few actresses who can make her presence felt in such a starstudded cast, but we loved her in K3G.
-
Kaho Na… Pyaar Hai: Farida was at her nurturing best in the film that launched Hritihk Roshan into stardom.

Duplicate: As SRK's fiesty mom, she made you laugh out loud in this film. After all, aside from the 'good' SRK, she's the only one who gets to beat up the 'bad' one. (YouTube)

Kuch Kuch Hota Hain: It sure feels like Shahrukh's most successful pairings might be with Farida than any B-Town actress. In this film, she yet again played SRK's mother, who was both childlike and wise in equal measure.
