   Is Umrao Jaan based on a true story?

   • "Umrao Jaan, to a large extent, is very true to history because it is based on a 1905 Urdu novel 'Umrao Jaan Ada' by Mirza Hadi Ruswa. It was a straight story of the life of a tawaif. In that story, Rekha and other dancers are learning Kathak from ustaads. There are shots of Rekha writing poetry and her ustaad sitting next to her, correcting her.
