Have you ever wondered about where the saying “age is just a number” perfectly fits? Obviously within the standards of Indian beauty! There are way too many beautiful faces in India to discuss briefly over what beauty means. But when it comes to the Indian film industry, a few names pop up in our minds.
And it’s shockingly surprising that these same names have been on the list of our parents’ generation which are now transferred to ours. These famous actresses who really are in their late 40s or early 50s but looks like in their late 20s or early 30s, have surely maintained the same charm since their debut. Here is a list of ten actresses who are ageing like fine wine.
1. Madhuri Dixit (age 58 years)
Who is not a fan of Madhuri’s smile? From Hum aapke hain kon to Yeh Jawani hai Deewani’s Ghagra song, Madhuri has always been the dream girl who inspired the look, style, and fashion of women for generations. She owned every era with her dance numbers and dazzling smile. The ‘Dhak-dhak girl’ is not just a nickname given to her, but she is still the heartbeat of the nation.
2. Ramya Krishnan (Age 55 years)
The 1970-born veteran actress is known for her glamorous looks and bold roles in the Tamil and Telugu industries. Her name might take you back to her fierce role as ‘Shivagami’ in Bahubali, but if you ask the late 90s kids, she was a heartthrob. Be it a party song like “Premaku Velayara” or a classical “Minsara Kanna,” she never failed to captivate attention. With almost four decades in the industry, her aura is unmatched. It is almost impossible to believe that she has turned 55 this year.
3. Tabu (Age 53 years)
Also known as the evergreen beauty of Bollywood, Tabu has sustained her timeless beauty since the 2010s. Her youthful appearance makes it hard to believe that she’s not in her 20s or 30s anymore and has turned 53 this year! There were even headlines that she looked younger than her co-star Rakul Preet, who is in her early 30s. She believes that the secret to healthy skin is regular hydration and a proper diet.
4. Malaika Arora (Age 52 years)
How can we not bring Malaika while discussing the ageless beauty! Her recent song ‘Poison Baby’ from Thamma has created a buzz over the internet, and fans can’t believe that she is already in her 50s. No matter what her real age is, Malaika never fails to bring the heat and presence to the dance floor on screen. The Bollywood ‘Munni’ lives a disciplined lifestyle to maintain the ageless glow and natural beauty.
5. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan ( Age 51 years)
Imagine being so beautiful that your name is just another definition of beauty! That’s the former Miss World, Aishwarya Rai. Since the day she stepped into Bollywood, she has never failed to turn heads in admiration of her beauty. She is continuously evolving her style, aligning with today’s generation while staying timeless. At the age of 51, she is still named as the ‘queen of Cannes’.
6. Kajol ( Age 51 years)
The queen of expressions never aged, even after turning 51. I feel like we are seeing the same Kajol in ‘Maa’ like we saw her as Simran running through the mustard field in DDLJ. Her beauty peaked even more after her 20s, which is not surprising because she has always embraced her natural look while maintaining a self-care routine.
7. Shilpa Shetty ( Age 50 years)
We all know how dedicated and disciplined life Shilpa Shetty lives. She continues to inspire fans with her perfect figure and healthy body. She openly talks about her consistent commitment and regular exercise habits, which have helped her maintain her physique. Fans are truly amazed by how she looks the youngest among the other actresses of her age.
8. Meena ( Age 48 years)
Fewer actresses in Indian cinema have sustained such grace as Meena has since the 1990s. She started acting just at the age of 6 and has appeared in more than 200 films. She is popularly known as “South India’s graceful queen’ due to her elegant and innocent look. Even today at 48, her skin looks flawless and she continues to maintain her glamour without even trying.
9. Aditi Rao Hydari ( Age 47 years)
Often called as “the modern-day princess of Indian cinema,” Aditi has certainly wooed everyone with her beauty. Her stunning classic looks and sheer elegance make her look like someone who stepped straight out of a painting. Even in her late 40s she looks like a teenager. By her ethereal look in Padmavat and Heeramandi, she has certainly mastered the art of looking ageless.
10. Manju Warrier ( Age 47 years)
Manju has forever been known for her natural beauty and ageless look. Starting from her craze in the traditional style movies like ‘How old are you’ and Aaram Thampuran to her latest look from the upcoming Tamil film Mr X, she truly lives up to the title of “Lady Superstar of Malayalam Cinema.” Although she appears to be in her late 20s, she has actually turned 47 this year. She is truly inspiring and following the steps of her mother who debuted in Mohiniyattam at the age of 67.
