Madhubala
When Mumtaz Ataullah Khan became famous as the celebrated Madhubala, a shower of superlatives constantly swirled down upon her — the Venus of the Indian screen, its definitive love goddess, the most beautiful heroine ever!

Prithviraj Kapoor
He was indubitably the most handsome hero of the pre-independence period. Imposingly tall and more regal than most kings, Prithviraj Kapoor straddled the world of films and theatre for 40 years. This dynast and his progeny Raj, Shammi and Shashi, each a major star, became justifiably celebrated as Bollywood’s first family. The son of a ...
Nadia
Nadia tossed the myth of the docile heroine into the air and shot it to smithereens with her trademark hey-y-y-y.

Kareena Kapoor

She grew up loving the old-style movies of Nargis, Madhubala, and Meena Kumari and the charm of classic 1950s cinema. She was confident one day she would be able ...
Amrita Arora
