Nafisa Ali, When She Was 'Just 21'

New Delhi: Actress Nafisa Ali has made the most perfect use of Throwback Thursday. (We are glad). She shared some old pictures of herself when she was 'just 21,' wearing a long white dress, with a hat. Nafisa Ali looks extremely beautiful in white with double braids. Her pictures have been taken during the shooting of Shyam Benegal's Junoon, as revealed by the actress. The 1978 film starred Shashi Kapoor, his wife Jennifer Kendal and Shabana Azmi. "I always love to sit on the ground," Nafisa Ali, 61 today, captioned one of her posts. She also added the hashtags, "Junoon," "Movies," "Bollywood," and "Indian." (Wikipedia tells us that it's also Nafisa Ali's birthday today - January 18).

Here's Nafisa Ali, (21 then), looking absolutely lovely.

Pia got married to her childhood best friend Kshitij Khemka in December. She wore a Sabyasachi lehenga for the wedding. "Meet Pia Zaranna Sodhi. A Sabyasachi bride wears an unusual bird's egg blue lehenga designed in an Indo-Victorian pattern in fine aari taari and zardosi from the Devi Collection," read the description of Pia's lehenga.

The pictures are straight out from a fairy tale wedding.
