In all the other images she seems to be giving all these yogic postures - twisting , bending, savasana, standing on toe nails, but in this one she gives a look which must have been quite popular at the time -the Lolita look.In all the other images she seems to be giving all these yogic postures - twisting , bending, savasana, standing on toe nails, but in this one she gives a look which must have been quite popular at the time -the Lolita look.

The first Indian actress to get into a bikini for a magazine cover, Sharmila created quite a hullabaloo when the magazine hit the stand, the matter was even questioned in the question hour of the parliament. The story goes that when Sharmila Tagore walked into the studio of photographer Dhiraj Chawda, he asked her what was she going to wear for the shoot and Sharmila Tagore just took out the suit from her purse.

You are one pathetic, loathsome person. You commented this on purpose, knowing one reader minds that and asked politely not to do it- You are stirring it even more. May you rot in this world and in hell for ever. May your family rot in this world and in hell forever AMEEN, now enjoy and jerk on these budhis pics

Her face is so triangular. Hasn't anyone else noticed? Like a strawberry or ummm a nacho
HAHAHA FUNNY! and kind of true!"

LOL hahahah i agree, true. hahha

amazing. She had an amazing figure, and what a bengali beauty. Her movies were bold just like her. I appreciate Sharmila Tagore for that. She always stood out. I do recall in one of her interviews though, that she regrets doing these bikini shots. But she rocked it!!! No photoshop whatsoever. These days the girls are all plastic. This is called natural beaut.

She had a captivating, pretty face and a perfect hourglass shape. She looks better here than most of the popular actresses of today.

There is nothing wrong in a bikini photo shoot/ Let people talk. It's not a crime. Such a woman who defies norms and has a free outlook from all the expectations gains my respect. And it's Sharmila we are talking about. She is already classy and talented, and this touch adds boldness to her profile.

JUST GAWJUSSSSSSSS!!!!!! Amazing considering that this shoot had been done during an era of no photoshop or surgeries or excessive working out, she comes out being much sexier & beautiful than all actresses today. P.S. I think Kareena felt threatened when she saw these photos of how breathtaking her future mum-in-law was!!!!!!

A quote from kashmir ki kali:
Subhan Allah haay haseen chehra haay
Subhan Allah haseen chehra
ye mastaana adaayen
Khuda mahfooz rakhe har bala se har bala se
tumhe dekha hoy to dil bola hoy
tumhe dekha to dil bola
ke tumko doon duaayen
Khuda mahfooz rakhe har bala se har bala se

40 years later and the bikini in film is STILL a talking point! We haven't come very fair in Bollywood have we? Sharmilla was a feisty, opinionated, daring actress and today she oozes class and grace. Just goes to show it's not what you wear (or once wore) but who you are that matters.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kyun?? Why are you talking about bikini in films still being a 'talking point'. Aap pehenayngi aisee bikini? Bohot modern hain aap?? Its a big deal in Pakistan/India okay. Not because bikinis are skimpy, or because people are shy to wear one or anything, but madamji if you go to a beach in Pakistan/India in a bikini, peeople will stare the heck out of you. I bet you don't even have the body to wear something like this, people just bari baatein karna jantay haen.
