i know there are some more dancers you guys think are best but this is in my view ...

Meena Kumari, in Pakeezah, is another evergreen example of how a courtesan could conquer hearts and memory.

Rekha, as Umrao Jaan Ada, absolutely captivated audiences, as she winked and sang her way into hearts of sultans. Her gaze was knowing yet innocent, erotic but yet sensual (never vulgar). This was the traditional woman- not the sati savitri virgin- but the independent woman who counted on her skills to thrive in society

i bet you guys didnt know some of these bollywood stars have done ...
