Exquisite Aishwarya Rai... 

Madhuri Dixit and her bad blonde wig




 

Shot by Gautam Rajadhyaksha - an eternal fav - these images of Madhuri DIxit in a cheap blonde wig does not do justice to her iconic beauty. 

The makeup is flawless, the photography is fine with Gautam da's signature soft-light focus and high glamour - but that wig is a travesty. 

Oh the 90s... Bollywood got away with a lot of BS that we now smirk over...

Before she became a superstar and he.. well.... the monotone one-note "actor". 

The two famously went on to work in Aishwarya Rai's home production a decade later in Dil ka Rishta--clearly they got along well. The film was Ok... and a commercial success - made nearly double the investment.

Athiya Shetty mentioned that she went to her dad's film sets and just sat and stared at Aishwarya Rai all day. Sonakshi Sinha in an interview with Karan Johar said, had she been on the sets of Taal - she'd end up just looking at her all day. 

People forget, 90s Aishwarya was the definitive 8th wonder of the world! I mean, Just. Look. At. Her.
