You know, very often we don’t really concentrate on the super sassiness of our Bollywood actresses from the ’50’s, 60’s and the ’70’s. I think, a lot of our mothers are so good at giving it back to us because they had just cool heroines for inspiration! Seriously, have a look.

1) When Hema Malini greeted her evil aunt with a BURN!

2) When Vyjayantimala knew that people around her were too basic.

6) When Rekha decided to gun down her jerk of a husband.

Because throwing her in a puddle of crocodiles wasn’t enough. He HAD to dance around with his girl immediately.

7) And finally, when Saira Banu perfectly described most people with just one word.
