Rekha

 

Rekha with one of her many awards:

 Rekha, 42, with her Best Villain or Best Supporting actress award from Filmfare. 

Rekha and Zeenat Aman: Contemporaries more that competitors

 Rekha and Zeenat Aman: Contemporaries more that competitors. Both fashion icons in the vast spectrum of style, there's only a two year age-gap between the two (Zeenat is 2 years older). They both rocked Bollywood in the 70s without stepping on each others toes.

 Esp in the 70s and 80s,... 

Rekha is five years older than Madge... Re' has also done photoshoot swith Cher and Elizabeth Taylor as reference points.

The morchas, the protests... pre internet and twitter. 

Bhanupriya

The Telugu star actress looked like an interest mix of Rekha and  Sridevi. Though she found limited success in Bollywood, her career was stellar in Tamil and Telugu films. 

When Sridevi got too busy and expensive, Bhanupriya was part of the bandwagon dragged in to find 'the next Sridevi'. Along with Radha and other south Indian dancing stars who never had lady luck sit by their side in Hindi movies. 

Sridevi had famously said, there are several Indian actresses who were good looking, talented, hard-working but if luck didn't favour them, they didn't make it big in Bollywood - which only worships success far more than talent. Well, especially in the Reaganomics of the 80s in B'wood.

Seeing double or triple? An Iconic Bollywood costume: The Ready-made modern Sari on Vyjanthimala, Mumtaz and Leena Chandavarkar

Leena Chandavarkar in Preetam (1971) 

A near replica of Mumtaz's look from Brahmachari (1968) designed by Academy-award winner Bhanu Athaiya. 

Even further back, Vyjanthimala in Jewel Thief (1967) in a similar cut, colour, gold-stripe, accessory styling... 

As Diet Sabya would call it, "Gandi copy..." 

Actually, its pretty damn good copy!
