Vyjayanthimala, Mala Sinha to Kimi Katkar: Here's how our veteran Bollywood actresses look today

In the 1950s and 60s, Vyjayanthimala was the undisputed queen of the silver screen with classics like 'Madhumati', 'Sangam' and 'Naya Daur'. Dubbed as "the dancing queen", she pioneered the importance of classical dance in Hindi films and to give a cultural heft to commercial cinema. As we continue to celebrate the legacy of this actress and dancer, she is revered as an exponent of Bharatanatyam and an icon of grace - as her work transcended from acting in movies to preserving India's living traditional arts.
