Daughter recalls Sharmila's bell bottoms
Sharmila Tagore was a leading atcress of the 60s and 70s, who started her career with Satyajit Ray's `Apur Sansar' in 1959. Her dresses not only fascinated the film audiences but also her children. Sharmila, now 71, used to appear in the then fashionable bell bottoms. Her actress-daughter, Soha Ali Khan, is so enamoured by the dresses that she says she feels like stealing them. Soha, who was attending the Crafts Villa Billon Mehendi Festival in Mumbai, recalled the sweet moments with her mother. She said the shoe size of hers and her mother was the same. So she would like to walk into her mother's shoes. She does it often. Sharmila likes gardening, music, reading and doing UNICEF work. Sharmila was married to cricket great Nawab of Pataudi. It was Pataudi who saw Saif Ali Khan, Bollywood actor like his sister and mother, as new born and said this boy can't be a fast bowler. The marriage of cricket and Bollywood is a mine of anecdotes.
