Endearing comments by the fans
The fans of the ‘Kashmir Ki Kali’ actress were glad to see the never-seen-before photos. Some appreciated the grace of the actress, while others aspired to be like her. One user commented, “Bahot khoobsurat (very beautiful).” Another person penned, “How can someone be soooo beautiful.” A third user claimed, “Old is always gold,” while the fourth exclaimed, “Wow such amazing unseen photos!!”
The legacy of Sharmila Tagore
Born in 1944, Sharmila has made an indelible mark in the Indian film industry, creating a legacy. Related to the polymath Rabindranath Tagore, the actress is known for her proficiency and elegance. Appraising as one of the greatest actresses, she did not shy away from making daring choices – and standing out amongst the rest.
Tagore tied her knot in 1968 with former Indian cricket captain Mansoor Ali Khan, and they have three children – Saif Ali Khan and Soha Ali Khan, who extended Tagore’s legacy to be successful actors, and Saba Ali Khan, who pioneered her way and is a jewellery designer.
Sharmila Tagore received India’s third highest civilian award, Padma Bhushan, in 2013 for her contribution towards Indian culture.
