Classic Portraits of Bollywood Beauties by the late great Gautam Rajadhyaksha

The fact that the gaudy 80s brought to the forefront the sophisticated portraiture of the late great Gautam Rajadhyaksha is a miracle in itself. Some of his classic portraits below of the definitive leading ladies of Indian cinema; from the extraordinary Aishwarya Rai to the classic south Indian beauty Hema Malini, the soft lens dream that is Madhuri Dixit to the late great Smita Patil and ethereal Kareena Kapoor's earlist photosessions... No one captured the most beautiful women in India like Gautam da. 

Can't believe he left us nine years ago today. Time stood still... and yet it flew by. 

RIP Gautam Rajadhyaksha.
