MUMBAI: In the yesteryear era, our veteran actresses were as fashionable as our current era actresses but they didn't have a Facebook or Instagram to post their hot pictures. You had to wait for their films to know what new avatar they are donning, unlike today where now and then pictures of the leading ladies are available at one's click.
Having said that, we are sure you must think to yourselves sometimes, where and how some queens of the Indian cinema are. No matter how gorgeous the current leading ladies of B-Town look, there are some yesteryear actresses who continue to win hearts. They truly have aged like fine wine and comparing their then-now photos just makes us think to ourselves, how beautifully they have survived the test of time.
