1. Madhubala- The little girl who debuted with Basant(1942), sprang to stardom with her mystifying performance in Mahal(1949). Rightly compared with the sex-bomb Marilyn Monroe, Madhubala’s beauty was unearthly. Her milky-white complexion & bulb-like radiant eyes had a hypnotic effect on the spectators. After Howrah Bridge & Chalti ka Naam Gaadi(1958), she immortalized the character of Anaarkali in Mughal-e-Azam. Even 4 decades after her demise, fans remember her mystifying smile with her posters still selling hot on Indian streets.

2. Sharmila Tagore- The Bengali sweet-dish dazzled up the silver-screen in the 70’s with her bold but gorgeously graceful portrayals. The sexy-siren dimpled girl pioneered the bikini culture in Bollywood as she sizzled in a skimpy one-piece in An Evening in Paris.

3. Madhuri Dixit- She broke zillions of hearts when she sailed off to Florida & tied the knot with a cardiac surgeon. The true diva of the 90’s, she was a sorceress and had the uncanny ability to disarm her audience with her smile-of-the-millennium.
