Before the surge of OTT platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime,Disney+ Hotstar, etc. the actresses with Bold look had made their debut into the world of entertainment.
They became a style inspiration to youngsters everywhere.
Minor Difference That Can Make It Or Break It
The very first notable difference that we can possibly remember is that of Urmila Matondkar in the 1995 super hit Rangeela opposite Aamir Khan. Audiences went berserk when they saw a mainstream leading actress in such a bold avatar. They could hardly believe their eyes. The film, of course, did impeccable business at the box office but also made way for other actresses to experiment with their image. Mamta Kulkarni was seen that same year in Baazi in a quite similar bold avatar. She is another actress who was known to experiment with her overall looks.
Karisma’s Elegant Look In Raja Hindustani
Karisma Kapoor’s look in Raja Hindustani in 1996 started changing the way we saw actresses in Bollywood. She played a simple yet stylish girl, and her outfits started to get bolder as the film progressed. The audiences then fell in love with her in Dil To Pagal Hai. The movie saw her and Madhuri Dixit in the most glamorous roles they ever possibly played.
Actresses today like Katrina Kaif (Bang Bang), Vidya Balan (The Dirty Picture), and Zareen Khan (Aksar 2), among others, have proved that there is no need for a separate vamp or sultry actress to play bold scenes in Bollywood anymore!
Bollywood fashion has evolved dramatically, with leading ladies transitioning from modest to bold styles. Today’s heroines confidently showcase trendy, revealing outfits, reflecting changing societal norms and a more liberated approach to fashion.
