And kill me for this but I have NEVER found Vyjanthimala and Waheeda Rehman beautiful.
They were good actors, great dancers. But beauty? Nope.
I also feel it is purely due to nostalgia that some old fashioned people have now begun to overrate Nutan and Nargis' looks also. Otherwise they are fairly average lookers.
I read somewhere that Nalini Jaywant was once voted as most beautiful actress. LMAO! I always felt like looked like an aunt and was overweight. Only her large eyes were good and huge figure and probably a reason why public liked her then.
I never got hype for Reena Roy either as an actor or as a looker. Nor do I think Mumtaz had any quality be it talent or looks or sex appeal. Highly overrated.
Finally, kill me, but I never thought Sharmila Tagore was beautiful. Way overrated and her style of speaking was irritating AF. She would have been forgotten if not for films with Rajesh Khanna who was wildly popular then. I daresay Mumtaz and Sharmila owe their survival and remembrance to Rajesh Khanna and I bet no one else has seen their other work with other actors as much. I never found her hot in bikini either. I find her artificial and fake.
