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.

When Deepika Padukone Exposed Ranbir Kapoor, Called Him A 'Pathetic Boyfriend'
Last Updated: In 2008, Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor were a popular couple. Deepika later called Ranbir a "pathetic" boyfriend. News18 In 2008, Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor were a hot pair, both on-screen and off-screen. The duo met on the sets of Bachna Ae Haseeno, and their reel chemistry soon translated into real life. The duo would often be spotted on holidays and at public events, with their PDA on point. Then came a point in their lives, probably when they were still dating, when Deepika exposed Ranbir, calling him a 'pathetic" boyfriend. Ranbir was promoting Wake Up Sid in 2009, when, during one of his interviews, Deepika addressed her then-boyfriend through a pre-recorded message. She said, 'Ranbir as a boyfriend is pathetic. If there was a minus scale, he would top the minus scale. If you're feeling cold, he'll never give you his jacket. Instead, he will give you two hot water bottles and think you'll suddenly feel warm." Though both the actors have now happily moved on in their respective lives, their blasts from the past often makes rounds on the web. Deepika and Ranbir probably broke up in 2010. A year later, in 2011, the Ramayana actor publicly acknowleged the real reason behind their breakup. He admitted to having cheated on Deepika, adding that he has matured with time. 'Yes, I have cheated, out of immaturity, out of inexperience, out of taking advantage of certain temptations, out of callousness," he openly shared in a throwback interview with Stardust. The Piku actor, too, publicly acknowledged her painful breakup with Ranbir. She admitted that she was 'foolish enough" to give her then boyfriend a second chance when well-wishers around her asked her not to. Speaking to Cosmopolitan back in the day, Deepika said, 'I was foolish enough to give him (Ranbir) a second chance because he begged and pleaded, despite the fact that everyone around me said he was still straying. Then I actually caught him red-handed. It took me a while to get out. But having done that, nothing can make me go back. That ship has sailed." Deepika also recalled the emotional turbulence that she went through after she found out that she was being cheated upon. 'The first time he cheated on me, I thought there was something wrong with the relationship or me. But when someone makes a habit of it, you know the problem lies with him," she said in the same interview. The Pathaan actor highlighted that although she invests deeply in relationships without expecting much in return, infidelity is something she considers an absolute deal breaker. 'Once it comes in, respect goes away, trust goes away and these are the pillars of a relationship you can't f*ck around with it," a heartbroken Deepika had said.

Ali Fazal says ‘not fair' on Deepika Padukone's 8-hour work shift demand: ‘It is harsh asking…'
Deepika Padukone's exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit has stirred a new debate on the work-life balance. Mirzapur actor Ali Fazal has now put forth his viewpoint and said that 'it is not a matter of taking sides.' While speaking to Screen, Ali Fazal weighed in on the 8-hour work shift demand of Deepika Padukone and said, 'I am pro everybody being satisfied. At the end of the day, we are creators. This is not like a corporate job. No offence to them, but it is not.' The Metro…In Dino actor went on to add that the work shift must be mutually decided within the team. He added, 'Creating things takes a lot of compassion. It needs to be mutually decided between actors, creators, and technicians, 'What is the displacement of the hours in that particular project (Spirit)?'' Ali Fazal explains how different genres require different shift hours Ali elaborated his take and mentioned how different genres demand different work shifts, so one cannot make it a norm for everybody. 'Sometimes, some projects don't require much because it is VFX-heavy. Some projects require more because it is action and drama. The genre changes the working style. That's the kind of industry we are in. You can't put a template. This is all subjective. This is not for others to discuss and throw their opinions. It is harsh asking people to take sides. It is not fair,' he concluded. Deepika Padukone's demands for Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit For the unversed, Deepika Padukone was earlier in advanced talks with Sandeep Reddy Vanga to play the female lead in Spirit opposite Prabhas. However, the talks didn't materialize, leading to Vanga announcing Triptii Dimri as his new heroine. Media reports suggested that the Piku actress walked out of the project because of multiple demands. One such demand was a 6 to 8-hour work shift. Reportedly, other demands included not dubbing in the Telugu language, a hefty pay cheque of Rs 40 crore, and a share in the profits. Later, Deepika Padukone signed Allu Arjun's mega-budgeted movie, A22×A6, set to be directed by Atlee. The movie also stars Mrunal Thakur, Janhvi Kapoor, and Rashmika Mandanna. Pinkvilla exclusively reported that the Pushpa 2 actress will play one of the negative leads in the movie. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
