Shashi Tharoor, 63, a member of the Indian National Congress Party, is high up on every list of India’s best and brightest. He’s written 19 best-selling books including a collection of short stories and three novels, notably “The Great Indian Novel” (1989). He’s also published a biography of India’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, seven nonfiction works, plus two books of photographs, about his country. Until he entered politics in 2009, he wrote a weekly column, “India Reawakening,” that was syndicated in 80 newspapers worldwide. But in today’s spirit one can say Tharoor’s main claim to fame is the number of followers he has on Twitter. No fewer than 7.1 million people imbibe his cogitations avidly, more than any other rank-and-file politician in the world. He’s known for his extremely well articulated sentences, correcting grammar and coming up with new unknown words for the twitterati. As famous as ever Tharoor is an icon for today’s generation. 📖📖📖

2. Each time she appeared on the camera, the symbol that screamed boldness, the OG fashionista, and all-time trendsetter, Zeenat Aman posing for a candid photo.

It is said that the glam doll of 70s was the first to introduce westernized look and boldness on the screen. Zeenat Aman’s sultry on-screen personality was refreshingly different from other leading heroines of that era. She did not mind wearing revealing outfits. She did not mind smoking, which was in a first, on screen. Her fashion style and charm were strikingly divergent from others. Aman aced her screen presence with more than just her acting and sexiness. Her clothes added to her armour with cleavage revealing blouses and bell bottoms. She set forth the hippie trend in India with large rudraksh beads and bindis with jeans. Her chosen bright patterned shirts and loud colours made heads turn with every single look on screen. For a brief period, she even went back to writing for magazines like Savvy and Super in a special column. 🎥🎥🎥

3. Saif Ali Khan and Sara Ali Khan, very young and cute.

View this post on Instagram

Saif Ali Khan was considered a misfit when he started his career in the early 90s. He just did some mindless commercial B movies and was never in the A-list. In an attempt to avoid typecasting and broaden his range as an actor, Khan starred as Karan Singh Rathod in the thriller Ek Hasina Thi (2004), a character he described as “a Charles Sobhraj-meets-James Bond kind of a guy”. When Khan was initially offered the project, he was unable to do it due to his busy schedule. However, he agreed when Raghavan approached him for the second time, and in preparation for the role, exercised extensively for six months to achieve the physical requirements of his character. Upon release, the film was positively received by critics, with Khan’s performing earning praise and probably a big cornerstone in his career.🎥🎥🎥

4. Kapoor, brother. Jr. That’s right. Ranbir with the clapper for the blockbuster of dad Rishi Kapoor— Prem Granth.

View this post on Instagram

Here’s Rishi kapoor the actor and Ranbir Kapoor the clapper boy at the shoot of R.K. Films Premgranth. R. K. Films was based in R. K. Studio both established by and named after the Bollywood actor Raj Kapoor was headquartered at Chembur, Mumbai. It was founded in 1948, one year after India gained independence. It had a rough start and end as its first movie, Aag (1948) did not perform well at the box office. Most of the R.K. Films productions share a common theme of criticising society and depicting love across social divides. From years the banner hasn’t made any film. Let’s hope it can be reignited by the current generation of Kapoor’s. 🎬🎬🎬

5. The very talented icons of Bollywood— Zeenat, Parveen, and Shabana give us vibes of great “you can’t sit with us.”

View this post on Instagram

Here are Zeenat Aman, Parveen Babi and Shabana Azmi the three most iconic leading ladies in films at the sets of Ashanti (1982). All three were at their prime in the 70s, Zeenat and Parveen being the glamorous divas whereas Shabana being the most trained of the lot. With the masala potboilers being the toast of the town then, it was pretty adamant that all three got their share of dancing around the trees and playing the damsel in distress quite often.🎥🎥🎥

6. Aishwarya Rai with the symbol, Nelson Mandela, shaking hands.

View this post on Instagram

That’s Aishwarya Rai with South Africa’s iconic leader Nelson Mandela. She’s one of the few celebrities who have decided to donate their eyes. There have speculations about her eye colour. Her eyes are naturally green in colour. But they appear brown in most of her films – which is actually due to wearing contact lenses to suit the character she portrays – due to which many fans have assumed that it is her natural eye colour. 🎥🎥🎥

7. Did you know that the real name of Katrina Kaif is Katrina Turquíaotte in fact?

View this post on Instagram

They say what’s in the name? Time and again there has been this misconception about Katrina Kaif being related to cricketer Mohammad Kaif. Say for that matter, some even believe that the reason why Katrina decided to change her surname to Kaif is because Mohammad Kaif was quite a popular name back in 2003, the same year when she made her Bollywood debut with Boom. The Kaif surname actually comes from her father’s side. Her real name Katrina Turquotte might have been difficult to pronounce if she went for it. That was the sole reason for going for an easier and much more Asian sounding last name.🎥🎥🎥

8. Until Salman made it famous, Dharmendra went shirtless.

View this post on Instagram

The trend of bare chested heroes started with long back in Hindi cinema. Dharmendra bared his upper-half for OP Ralhan’s Phool Aur Patthar in 1966. The story of the streetwise Shaka, who brings home a distressed woman (Meena Kumari), and is reformed by her love, hinged on the ‘revealing’ sequence. A drunk-to-the-gills shaka stumbles onto the room where the petrified woman pretends to be asleep. A sharp gasp pierced cinema halls all over the country when Dharmendra tore off his shirt and advanced menacingly towards the inert feminine figure on the bed. At that precise moment, the celluloid beefcake was born. Before Phool Aur Patthar, heroes had bared their chests mainly in stunt films. After that, overt manifestations of machismo were in. The picture looks quite different today as Indian cinema has a clear cut pre requisite from its leading 9. men to have a body to flaunt. 🎬🎬🎬

10. A vintage photograph of a play by Naseeruddin Shah and Om Puri.

View this post on Instagram

That’s naseeruddin shah and Om Puri performing a play in their younger days. With a friendship spanning over four decades, the warmth of their relationship informed each other’s career and performance in more than one ways. Shah said in an interview that Puri is one of those rare persons in the industry whom he could frankly critique, and in turn be critiqued by. Puri and Shah met at the prestigious National School of Drama in the 1970s where Puri was an acting student and Shah was pursuing a directorial course. They then went on to continue their education at the Film and Television Institute of India in Pune. In fact, it was Shah who had joined FTII first, he coaxed Puri into joining him there. Two of the most rigorously trained actors in the industry, both maintained a steady distaste for mainstream commercial Hindi cinema. 📷📷📷

11. Dev Anand just being Dev Anand in between shots.

Here’s Dev Anand enjoying his time on an outdoor shoot. Outdoor locations have been a significant thing as far as movies are concerned. Kashmir was an instant favourite for most movie makers in the early 70s. In the 50s and 60s though some parts of Bombay like Bhandup and Borivali were considered as outdoors due to the distance factor. Amitabh bachchan’s Bansi Birju (1972) also starring Jaya bachchan was set in a village but shot in then heavily green and extremely less populated juhu. 📷📷📷
