Meena Kumari was a legendary actress of the early 1940's starting her career at the age of 7 years old, with a tragic ending to her life at the the age of 39 years old. She embraced acting from a young age and through her difficult childhood, she engaged to perform and act to create an ambience of character and emotion in her short career.
She's left a great mark in the Bollywood industry and she truly influenced the new comers in the 1960's era. I have put together an image of her and I hope you can see how beautiful she was and how she influenced the fashion industry. 

This image is from the movie; Pakeezah and the song Chalte Chalte.

She's wearing a beautiful Burnt orange churidar with zari work on the border. Her Jhumar and tikka is perfect for the look and is absolutely star strikingly beautiful with the heavy choker, complimenting the simple churidar, her hath panja perfectly suits the entire look. 



I have put together a similar outfit and Jewellery set to re-create the look from Aura Boutique.

Just by being slightly imaginative and creativity you can really push the boundaries and create a great look.

Here's my collection of must have vintage looks for weddings, mehendi and parties.

You can't go wrong with a vintage saree and just glam your self up with a simple gold antique earrings to finish your look. Contrast of two tone saree colours really stands out on sarees and here's mix of bold and floral print vintage sarees.

Rani Haar

I am very excited to write a review on this handcrafted antique gold plated rani haar, this is beautifully detailed with white stones and pearls. These are traditional indian jewellery, which have been adored by indian women for centuries. I love how this rani haar can compliment a women wearing a simple saree and still have the affect of standing out from the crowd.
