9 of the most iconic celebrity on-screen looks, from Dimple Kapadia's polka dot set to Deepika Padukone's blue sari
Bollywood has long been a trendsetter, not just for its music and storytelling, but for its unforgettable style moments that left an indelible mark on fashion. Some on-screen looks became instant hits, sparking trends that spilled over into everyday wardrobes, weddings, and pop culture conversations. Here's a tribute to nine of the most iconic fashion moments from Bollywood films, outfits, and styles that continue to inspire, years after they first appeared on the screen. In the 1970s, Kapadia burst onto the scene with a youthful charm that made her an instant style icon. Her polka dot knotted blouse and matching black skirt from Bobby shocked and enamoured a generation. That simple, breezy outfit became a favourite among teenagers and remains a nostalgic reference for retro fashion enthusiasts. Bold, rebellious, and ahead of her time, Zeenat Aman brought the hippie aesthetic into mainstream Bollywood with her look in Hare Krishna Hare Ram. Beaded accessories, flowing silhouettes, and oversized sunglasses captured the essence of the '70s counterculture and made Zeenat a poster girl for bohemian chic. In a film packed with youthful energy and heartfelt moments, Deepika Padukone's transformation scene in a stunning electric blue sari became a defining fashion moment of the 2010s. It inspired countless wedding looks and cocktail party styles across India. Kareena Kapoor's role as the fashionable and unapologetic 'Poo' wasn't just about witty one-liners. Her pastel sharara, featured in the iconic Bole Chudiyan song, set new standards for festive wear. With its delicate hues and modern silhouette, the look became a wedding staple, cementing Kareena's place as a Bollywood fashion trailblazer. Sometimes, it's the simplest accessories that create the most significant impact. Shah Rukh Khan's 'COOL' chain necklace, seen in several of his hit films from the '90s and early 2000s, became synonymous with cool, boy-next-door charm. Sizzling yet sophisticated, Priyanka Chopra's golden sari in Dostana took Bollywood glamour to a new level. The shimmering fabric, paired with contemporary styling, became a benchmark for modern ethnic wear. It quickly became the go-to look for red carpets and festive occasions. Not all iconic looks are about glitz. Sometimes, simplicity steals the spotlight. Deepika's understated cotton suits, with soft bindis and breezy scarves in Piku, resonated deeply with young women seeking style rooted in comfort and authenticity. Her relatable wardrobe sparked a revival of classic Indian wear for everyday fashion. Whether loved or criticised, Salman Khan's edgy haircut from Tere Naam left an undeniable imprint on pop culture. The distinct hairstyle sparked a nationwide trend, becoming both a style statement and a subject of countless conversations, proving how powerful on-screen looks can be, even when polarising. Few Bollywood costumes have the iconic status of Raveena Tandon's bright yellow sari in Tip Tip Barsa Pani. Set against the backdrop of pouring rain, the look became the ultimate symbol of Bollywood sensuality. It remains a timeless reference point for rain-drenched romantic sequences and a favourite in music video recreations.

Surgeon shares 6 ways painkillers for period pain, headaches and paracetamol are ‘silently damaging your liver'
Are you one of those people who just pop a pill or painkiller without consultation from your doctor, or when there is some mild discomfort? According to Dr Sumit Kapadia, a vascular surgeon and varicose vein specialist, your painkillers may be silently damaging your liver without you even knowing about it. Even slightly exceeding the safe daily limit of taking painkillers can overwhelm your liver. (Freepik) Also Read | 56-year-old US man loses 11 kg in 46 days using AI; shares diet, routine, workout plan he used for transformation 6 ways painkillers silently damage your liver In an Instagram post shared on July 12, Dr Kapadia talked about the 6 ways painkillers are silently damaging your liver. He wrote, ''It's just one pill.' But when that one pill becomes a habit after every headache, period pain, or muscle ache, your liver starts paying the price.' Let's find out how painkillers may be harming your liver: 1. Overdose risk (especially with paracetamol) Even slightly exceeding the safe daily limit can overwhelm your liver. 2. Liver enzyme spikes Regular painkiller use can quietly raise your liver enzymes, damaging it without symptoms. 3. Fatty liver progression NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) may contribute to liver inflammation and worsen fatty liver in some cases. 4. Dangerous with alcohol Taking painkillers after drinking? A deadly combo for liver toxicity. 5. Masking symptoms You treat the pain, not the cause, letting the underlying issue (and inflammation) silently grow. 6. Liver failure in extreme cases Chronic overuse, especially without supervision, can lead to irreversible damage. The surgeon warned, 'Your liver doesn't scream until it's already hurt. It works quietly, until it can't anymore.' He suggested 3 ways you can stop painkillers from becoming the silent liver killers: What to do instead: Use painkillers only when truly needed Never exceed recommended doses Always consult your doctor if you're taking them often Disclaimer: This article is for informational purposes only and not a substitute for professional medical advice.

‘Rajesh Khanna slapped Raza Murad for spending time with Dimple Kapadia': Senior actor says he wanted to ‘beat up' person who spread this rumour
Late legendary superstar Rajesh Khanna married veteran actor Dimple Kapadia in 1973 shortly before the release of her debut film, Raj Kapoor's romantic drama Bobby. While he was with Kapadia, there was a rumour doing the rounds that she was seen spending a lot of time with fellow actor Raza Murad. Now, Murad has opened up on that rumour, dismissing it completely. 'There used to be a film newspaper called Urvashi. It was written there that Raza Murad and Dimple Kapadia came to Film City in the same car. Rajesh Khanna was shooting there. When he began talking to Dimple, Raza asked her to leave with him, leading to Rajesh Khanna slapping Raza Murad,' recalled Murad. On the podcast The Filmy Charcha, Murad continued, 'Neither I ever went to Film City with Dimple, nor such a situation ever happened, and never have Dimple Kapadia, Rajesh Khanna, and Raza Murad ever been in the same spot together. We used to shoot separately with Kakaji (Khanna) and Dimple. This baseless rumour didn't have even 1% truth in it. It was a 100% lie.' Murad then recollected meeting the journalist, who wrote the article, at a film party. 'I didn't even make a mention of that to them. I just met them like the way I always did. Because when you're at someone's party, you don't have the right to ruin that. It was possible I'd have entered into an argument, or even a brawl, with them, since they made such a damaging allegation towards me. But since it was someone else's party, there shouldn't be any bitterness or misbehaviour there. So I remained completely normal,' said Murad. Murad has worked with Kapadia in films like Feroz Khan's Janbaaz (1986), David Dhawan's Aag Ka Gola (1989), Babbar Subhash's Pyaar Ke Naam Qurbaan (1990), Mahesh Bhatt's Gunaah (1993), and Ajay Kashyap's Pathreela Rasta (1994). Meanwhile, Murad and Khanna have collaborated on Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Namak Haraam (1973), Tyaag (1977), Tinku (1977), Oonche Log (1985), Adhikar (1986), Begunaah (1991), and Riyasat (2014). Khanna and Kapadia separated in 1984, but got legally divorced only in 2012. Kapadia, who had quit films after her wedding to Khanna, returned to become a formidable lead actor in the 1980s. She continues to act in films and shows till today. Khanna passed away in 2012. They have two daughters who are former actors as well — author and columnist Twinkle Khanna and Rinke Khanna. Also Read: When Rajesh Khanna attacked Vinod Khanna for 'not honouring his words' as Gurdaspur MP, called Navjot Singh Sidhu a 'comedian' Rajesh Khanna's misbehaviour towards anyone who came close to Kapadia is rather well-documented. In his 2016 memoir Khullam Khulla, Kapadia's first co-star from Bobby and late actor Rishi Kapoor confessed he never liked Rajesh Khanna. Kapoor admitted he was possessive about Kapadia since she was his first heroine. She'd stolen a ring of Kapoor, but when Rajesh Khanna saw that ring on Kapadia's finger while proposing to her, he threw it away. That really angered Kapoor and further deepened his dislike towards Rajesh Khanna.
