I am making this post to recall my favorite performances of the popular actresses of Bollywood over the last few decades...

Rekha- " Khoobsurat"
She won thousands of hearts by playing the playful naughty girl next door...The simplicity of the plot enhanced the beauty of her performance..
My favorite scene: " Her entry into her didi's sasural when she grabs a paratha off the breakfast table, chattering incessantly, while a shocked Dina Pathak looks at her in disbelief!"😆
Interesting stuff: She sang the song " kayda kayda" herself
Hema Malini: "Seeta Aur Geeta"
Absolutely howlarious performance by her as the naughty twin Geeta...she looks radiantly beautiful and her chemistry with Sanjeev Kumar in the song "Hawa ke sang sang" is a must watch..
Favorite Scene: When Geeta meets Sanjeev kumar's parents wearing a saree and pretending to be very docile and homely...😆
Point to note: Ramesh Sippy signed Hema Malini in his next film Sholay...maybe he saw glimpses of Basanti in Geeta!!
Sridevi : "Chandni"
Sridevi's performance as an actress was at its peak in this movie...she is the perfect combination of innocence and sensuality in this movie...Switzerland, chiffons, songs in the rain...all the hallmarks of a Yash Raj movie showcased her talent in a way that was never seen before..
My favorite: the song mere haatho mein nau nau chooriyan...her versatility as seen by the variety of her expressions could put so many starlets of today to shame!!
Rumour has it: The music directors had a nightmarish experience in getting her to sing in a little bit in sur for the title track

Juhi Chawla: "Hum hain Rahi Pyaar ke"
Her perfect comic timing, her giggles, her chemistry with Aamir make it so much of a delight to watch..
My favorite scene: When she wipes her nose off the sleeve of Aamir's Kurta that she is wearing as she and the kids try to plead with mamaji to let her stay...😆
Do you remember? : Kunal Khemu plays the youngest kid Sunny in the movie!
Madhuri Dixit: "Tezaab"
Tho most people remember her for the Ek do teen dance number, for me Maduri's emoting stood out...It was not one of teh run of the mill roles and Madhuri utilized the opportunity to pushe herself into the bigger league..
My favorite scene: Where Munna hugs her and she tries to hide the pain and the bruises on her back...terrrific!
Did you know: the lyrics of ek do teen were penned down by none other than Javed Akhtar!!

Karisma: "Zubeida"
This one proved to be her swan song..well almost. She has never looked prettier, she has never acted better...she is absolutely gorgeous..
My favorite: The song Dheeme Dheeme gaon...the song reeks of the old time charm...kavita K's honey sweet voice, Karisma in the 50 style blouses..and Manoj Bajpai looking very much like a besotted prince!!
Interesting stuff: this was a part of an autobiographical triolgy written by the famour film critic Khalid Mohammed...the other two were Mammo and Sardari Begum
