This is one of those classic moments that captures the glory of Indian cinema. Between them, actresses Rekha, Hema Malini and Sridevi account for much of the beauty and talent we've seen on-screen over the decades. Each has ruled the box office at the height of her career and Sridevi continues to do so with her searing comeback in 2012's
English Vinglish. Each is associated with an iconic screen character – Hema Malini played
Basanti in the landmark
Sholay, Rekha set the bar high with
Umrao Jaan, and Sridevi's repertoire includes
Mr India's feisty journalist as well as
Chandni, the defining ‘Yash Chopra heroine.' Not many fans know that
Chandni was originally meant to be made with Rekha. Rekha and Sridevi share another connect – Sridevi's voice was dubbed in her first few films, often by Rekha.
