As much as we swoon over B-Town actresses today, leading ladies from the golden years of Indian cinema continue to define grace and elegance and we have enough evidence to prove that.

Back in the day, taking fashion inspiration or knowing more about your favourite celebrity's personal life was not as simple as scrolling through Instagram handles now. 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.
