Asha Parekh:

She is hounered with Padam shree award by Government of India. She was the glamour girl of her time and had a very tom-boyish image. Her voluptuous figure could put even Sonakshi at shame but man! The way she carried her self.. Mindblowing!

Sharmila Tagore:

Sensational star of her era, whether it was her bold choice in movies or in real life. She posed for Filmfare magazine in bikni which must be very controversial in 60s decade.

Hema Malini:

She needs no introduction. She’s an actor, dancer, politician and wife of Dharmendra. She’s a trained Bharatanatyam dancer. Even after getting married she has been involved with bollywood quite actively.

Jaya Bachchan:

I still watch and sing aloud “Hum ko mann ki shakti dena” for two reasons. First is sheer  nostalgia associated with this prayer and second is Jaya’s face. Charming! Need I say more?

Zeenat Aman:

She won Miss Asia Pacific in 1970 International title. She is the first south Asian woman to win the title. Throughout her career she has been referred as a sex symbol. Remember the hippie wearing oversized sunglasses in Hare Rama Hare Krishna? Her look in ‘Chura liya hai tumne’ was a huge hit.

Shabana Azmi:

Daughter of a poet and wife of a poet. Her whole family defines intellect even her distant relatives seem to be brainboxes (I can’t digest it!) Shabana did some phenomenal cinema and has been a very active social worker.

Neetu Singh:

Another successful actress of 70s who left her career at its peak (popularly known as Ranbeer ki mummy). She was only 21 years old when she got married and bid adieu to her occupation. She has made a come back in movies like Love Aaj Kal and Jab Tak Hai Jaan.

Rekha:

She’s one of those actresses who are never forgotten. Her enigmatic personality makes her even more popular. Her style, smile, voice everything is crave worthy. Khubsoorat and Ghar are my favourite movies of hers.

TINA MUNIM

Now proudly known as Tina Ambani. She was crowned as Femina teen princess in 1975 and she ruled many hearts in 1980s era. She acted with many superstars of that era including Dev Anand and Rajesh Khanna.
