Dimple Delight!

Dimples are looked upon as a sign of beauty and good-fate in many cultures. However, science calls it muscle deformity on face but in Bollywood it gives an identity of kind to stand out in a crowd. Let's take a sneak-peek in B-town and find out how the myths around dimples have been vindicated here.

To begin with, the dimples on Shahrukh Khan's cheeks that runs down till his chin has captivated whoever saw him in Deewana. His awe-inspiring stardom authenticates the belief that dimples bring luck along. His dimples became such a rage that sometime ago it was reported that around 100 men went under knife to get that just one desirous hole on their cheek to please their girls. Indeed, his dimples spread romance!

Priety Zinta debuted alongside Shahrukh in Dil Se, when the industry was already being reigned by the divas to the likes of Aishwarya Rai, Kajol and Rani, but what she had apart from talent was something that none of the others had. Her cute dimples not just brought her to everyone's notice but it also scaled her to the heights of popularity. As far as the myth goes about luck showering on her, none can deny that she has the most-envying filmography among the heroines of her time. Even in the IPL-series, apart from the sixes and fours, it's her smile with that 'very hole' becomes the highlight of the entire cricket extravaganza. If dimples were to be the muscles deformity, we would love to have it more.

After Priety, Deepika Padukone has taken the legacy ahead and has been blissfully flashing her dimples in tinsel town. Lucky that she is, she became the talk of the town for having romanced SRK in her Bollywood debut. And also why not to have dated the best of the men from B-town as well as the cricket ground! The leggy lass is blessed with the million dollar smile adorned by a pair of dimples, which is so electrifying that it flights even a mediocre scene in any film several levels up.

Abhay Deol is the only Deol, who not only dared to do the offbeat roles but also has proved his prowess as an actor with each film. Naturally, he is not blessed by the typicals of a Hindi film hero but of course the luck has brought him in time when industry is embracing the non-hero actor. Certainly, the whole universe has conspired success for him! All those who know him would definitely tell you about his naughty dimples that does not wait for his smile but shows up even when he is talking.

Gul Panag is a potential actress in her own rights. However, her fame to claim till date remains the beauty with pair of dimples. One can easily give her a miss when the actresses of times are listed but she is worth a mention when dimples are being talked about. She came in limelight when she was crowned Miss India Universe but before that she has also won Colgate Miss Beautiful Smile contest. Obviously, when Miss Panag would have flashed her smile many would have missed their heartbeats looking in to the depth of her dimples.

Bollywood also offers the double delight of dimples with the most-celebrated couples in the town. Bipasha Basu and her beau John Abraham need special mention in the premise, as they share common sign of beauty that is their cute dimples. At present the hot-bod couple is rocking in their respective careers and is also the most-sought-after actors in the industry.

How can the dimple-saga be complete without a mention of yesteryear diva Sharmila Tagore, who was the first one to have introduced the frenzy of this kind in Bollywood. Although the gutsy actress went ahead of her time and posed in bikini for one of the magazines cover, her dimples remain her everlasting impression in B-town. Lady luck smiling through her dimples is so much in her favour that it has also got her non-deserving son a Padmashree honour. Nevertheless, Taarif karoon kya uski jisne tujhe banaya…!
