In a career spanning over five decades, actress Nirupa Roy worked in over 475 films. And in almost all the films she appeared, one cannot help but remember her as the eternally crying mother who was usually roped in to play the poverty-stricken ailing "Maa". Thanks to her roles, the most popular dialogue perhaps in the Bollywood's history, "Mere paas maa hai", can also be attributed to her.
But why are we talking about this suddenly?
Micro-blogging site Twitter has run amok over the past few days. It finds someone or the other to bombard with a spate of cheeky and funny jokes every single day. After Alok Nath, Arvind Kejriwal, Neil Nitin Mukesh have become victims of Twitter's infamous jokes and memes, now it seems like it is Roy's turn to come under the spotlight.
Most of the jokes centre around her ingenious capability to cry. Other jokes mock her on the kind of monotonous roles she had been playing over the years.
