Place of birth
The place of birth( POB) or birthplace is the place where a person was born.
This place is often used in legal documents, together with name and date of birth, to uniquely identify a person.
As a general rule with respect to passports, the place of birth is determined to be the country that currently has" sovereignty" over the actual place of birth, regardless of when the birth actually occurred.
The place of birth is not necessarily the place where the parents of the new baby live.
If the baby is born in a hospital in another place, that place is the place of birth.
In many countries, this also means that the government requires that the birth of the new baby is registered in the place of birth.
Some countries place less or no importance on the place of birth, instead using alternative geographical characteristics for the purpose of identity documents.
For example, Sweden has used the concept of" födelsehemortdomicile of birth") since 1947.
This means that the domicile of the baby's mother is the registered place of birth.
The location of the maternity ward or other physical birthplace is considered unimportant.
Similarly, Switzerland uses the concept of" Heimatortlieu d'origineluogo d'origineplace of origin" in German, French and Italian respectively).
A child born to Swiss parents is automatically assigned the place of origin of the parent with the same last name, so the child either gets their mother's or father's place of origin.
A child born to one Swiss parent and one foreign parent acquires the place of origin of their Swiss parent.
In a Swiss passport and identity card, the holder's place of origin is stated, not their place of birth.
In some countries( primarily in the Americas), the place of birth automatically determines the nationality of the baby, a practice often referred to by the Latin phrase" jus soli".
Almost all countries outside the Americas instead attribute nationality based on the nationality( ies) of the baby's parents( referred to as" jus sanguinis").
There can be some confusion regarding the place of birth if the birth takes place in an unusual way: when babies are born on an airplane or at sea, difficulties can arise.
The place of birth of such a person depends on the law of the countries involved, which include the nationality of the plane or ship, the nationality( ies) of the parents and/ or the location of the plane or ship( if the birth occurs in the territorial waters or airspace of a country).
Some administrative forms may request the applicant's" country of birth".
It is important to determine from the requester whether the information requested refers to the applicant's" place of birth" or" nationality at birth".
For US citizens born abroad who under the US Constitution acquire US citizenship at the time of birth, the nationality at birth will be USA( American), while the place of birth would be the country in which the actual birth takes place.

Meena Kumari
Meena Kumari (born Mahjabeen Bano, 1 August 1933 – 31 March 1972) was an Indian film actress, singer and poet under the pseudonym "Naaz", who starred in classic films of Hindi Cinema.
Popularly known as "The Tragedy QueenChinese Doll" and "Female Guru Dutt", she is often remembered as "Cinderella of Indian films".
She was active between 1939 and 1972.
Indian film critics regarded Meena Kumari as a "historically incomparable" actress of Hindi cinema.
In a career spanning 33 years, she starred in about 92 films such as "Sahib Bibi Aur GhulamPakeezahMere
ApneAartiBaiju
BawraParineetaDil
Apna Aur
Preet ParaiFoot PathDil Ek Mandir" and "Kaajal".
Vinod Mehta (writer of Meena Kumari – The Classic Biography) was told by a director: "Even Dilip Kumar (the tragedy king) found it difficult to keep his calm in front of her".
Raaj Kumar would often forget his dialogues while working with Meena Kumari on set.
Madhubala was also a fan of Meena Kumari and said: "She has the most unique voice.
No other heroine has it."
Satyajit Ray described Kumari as "undoubtedly an actress of the highest calibre".
Amitabh Bachchan said "No one, not any one, ever spoke dialogues the way Meena Kumari did ..
no one .. not anyone to date.. and perhaps never will".
Music Director Naushad said "Hindi film industry may produce great actresses but there would never be another Meena Kumari".
Meena Kumari empathized greatly with Marilyn Monroe, the fact that Marilyn's husband, Arthur Miller, had some passing similarities to Meena's husband Kamal Amrohi, made the identification closer.
It is said that throughout her life, Meena Kumari had a love–hate relationship with the movies.
Meena Kumari won four Filmfare Awards in the Best Actress category.
She was the recipient of the inaugural Filmfare Best Actress Award for "Baiju Bawra" in 1954 and had a consecutive win in the second Filmfare Awards (1955) for "Parineeta".
Kumari made history at the 10th Filmfare Awards (1963), by receiving all of the nominations for Best Actress and won for her performance in "Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam".
In the 13th Filmfare Awards (1966), Kumari won her last Best Actress award for "Kaajal".
The greatest hallmark of Meena Kumari laid in her ability to depict the struggle of Indian women existing especially in the 50s and 60s.
Kumari's onscreen persona is described as a perfect example of a traditional Bharatiya Naari by the Indian film fraternity, such as Mohammed Zahur Khayyam and Javed Akhtar.
Her portrayal of "Sahibjaan", a nautch girl with a golden heart in "Pakeezah" under Kamal Amrohi's direction became a historical document.

Gomti Ke Kinare
Gomti Ke Kinare is a 1972 Bollywood drama film directed by Saawan Kumar Tak in a directorial debut.
The film stars Meena Kumari and Mumtaz.
It was the last release of Meena Kumari, and was released posthumously.
She shot the film through her failing health at the end of 1971, and was apprehensive whether she would be able to complete the filming.
Eventually, she did with the last schedule on 29 December.
However, despite the music score by R.D. Burman, the film failed at the box office.
Amitabh Bachchan was being considered( to play hero opposite Mumtaz) by Saawan Kumar and Meena Kumari.
However, Mumtaz, who was close to the Khan brothers those days, recommended Sameer Khan, and the audience missed the golden opportunity to see Amitabh along with legendary Meena Kumari.
Pakeezah
Pakeezah  is a 1972 Indian film, written and directed by Kamal Amrohi, who was known for his perfectionism.
The music is by Ghulam Mohammed and Naushad Ali.
The film
starred Meena Kumari, Raaj Kumar, Ashok Kumar, Nadira, D.K. Sapru and Veena .
Meena Kumari's performance as a golden-hearted Lucknow nautch-girl drew major praise.
However, this was to be Meena Kumari's last performance.
Kamal Amrohi's PR man said: "Shah Jahan made Taj Mahal for his wife, Kamal Sahab wanted to do the same with "Pakeezah The concept, Kamal Amrohi says was irretrievably fixed with his love for his wife Meena Kumari.
According to Kamal Amrohi, he hoped to create a film which would be worthy of her as an actress, and worthy of the love he felt for her as a woman.
Meena Kumari regarded the film as Kamal Amrohi's tribute to her.
The film tells the story set in Muslim Lucknow at the turn of the century, its central character is a Lucknowi nautch-girl, for her to fall in love was forbidden, it was a sin she was told, a nautch-girl is born to delight others such is her destiny and yet
her restless soul could not suppress her surging desire – "To Love and Be Loved".
It was ostensibly (perhaps loosely) based on Kamal Amrohi and Meena Kumari's own love story.
From its mahurat on 16 July 1956 to its release on 4 February 1972, "Pakeezah" took 16 years to reach the silver screen.
"Pakeezah" released on 3 February 1972, with a grand premiere at Maratha Mandir theatre in central Mumbai and was released for the audience the following day.
Meena Kumari attended the last premiere of her life along with Kamal Amrohi.

It was Meena Kumari's last great performance and one that solidified her reputation as a legendary actress.
An Indian critic has said "Pakeezah" was "Poetry, fantasy and nostalgia rolled into one on an epic scale".
