Madhubala is a name that epitomises grace, style, beauty, talent and subtle sensuality that is extremely hard to find in today's actresses. She had these feminie charms which exuded from the movies she did. But if you notice, she is never overly doled out in jewellery or makeup. However, those black and white prints while making her look regal, left us wanting more. And then there was an explosion of coloured images of Madhubala on the internet. Everyone tried to add more twinkle to her already pristine face with the stroke of colour. Here are a few of the pictures that we liked. Madhubala Birth Anniversary: Just 20 Pictures Of The Late Actress That Epitomises Grace And Elegance.
