Simple is beautiful

Last holidays (between my 7th and 8th semesters), I had the time of my life watching all-time classics, be it Hindi or English. Two of the movies I saw which inspired me to write this post were Hum Dono and Asli Naqli.

Now I'm sure everyone in the world absolutely adore Sadhana, for her looks and her acting ability. Well, Sadhana had a very different look in these two films, as most might be aware of. She is well-known for her Sadhana cut, a hairstyle popularised by her in India. Every female I know who wants to look glamorous without shedding their clothes, tend to follow that particular styling. In fact in the 1960s, ladies used to send their tailors to the theatres to watch Sadhana's movies, just so that they could replicate the same designs on them! That is something unheard of today!

But there was no Sadhana cut in these two movies mentioned and you know what, I never knew how gorgeous Sadhana really could be until I saw them. The reason - she appears in a very simple avatar; clad in a sari, hair nicely oiled back and a voice so innocent you instantly fall in love with her. Sadhana, known for being glamarous, had a knack of stealing every male's heart, but this time you would actually want her to meet your parents and you meet her's.

I am really grateful to Sadhana for making me realise for the first time in my life that simplicity is perhaps the finest look any female can carry. Now I just hope the actresses and directors of today realise that. The world will be a more beautiful place then.
