You know, very often we don’t really concentrate on the super sassiness of our Bollywood actresses from the ’50’s, 60’s and the ’70’s. I think, a lot of our mothers are so good at giving it back to us because they had just cool heroines for inspiration! Seriously, have a look.
1) When Hema Malini greeted her evil aunt with a BURN!
It’s funnier in Hindi though.
2) When Vyjayantimala knew that people around her were too basic.
3) When Madhubala taught Guru Dutt a few lessons on treating the ladies.
Tere haath kabhi naa aani!
4) When Shabana Azmi told her cheating husband to STFU.
5) When Sharmila Tagore preached the absolute truth!
And went on to get some liquid courage because of all these selfish boys out there.
Basically me, every Friday night.
6) When Rekha decided to gun down her jerk of a husband.
Because throwing her in a puddle of crocodiles wasn’t enough. He HAD to dance around with his girl immediately.
What an assh*le.
7) And finally, when Saira Banu perfectly described most people with just one word.
And proceeded to smoke a cigar in a way none of us ordinary people could ever do.
Hail the queens!
