A true legend of Indian cinema. While I appreciate the style throwback, I sometimes wish our current actresses would take more inspiration from her choice of meaningful, parallel cinema roles rather than just the fashion.

My mother used to wear a flower in her hair every day for pooja when I was a child. Seeing Shabana Azmi's post brought back so many memories. It's a simple yet powerful tradition that connects generations of Indian women.

As someone who discovered Indian cinema later in life, Shabana Azmi's performances in films like 'Arth' and 'Fire' were revelations. Her talent is timeless, much like her style apparently!

She looks absolutely stunning in that old photo. But more than the flower, what's remained constant is her powerful voice and commitment to social causes. A true icon in every sense.

The caption is so poetic - "just the position has changed." It feels like a metaphor for life itself. What a wonderful way to reflect on personal history and growth.
