India’s First Bold Photoshoot by Begum Para

India’s First Bold Photoshoot by Begum Para


In Sanjay Bansali’s Saawariya (2007), Begum Para was hardly recognizable. But 50 years before that she was one of the most charming pin up girls that men had in their rooms. She exuded the x-factor and her come hither looks spell a time frame when men lusted for her. She did one of the boldest photo shoots with James Burke for Life Magazine in 1951. Here are some nostalgic frames of an era gone by. The talented artiste faded out of limelight and life on 9th December aged 81 years. She knew that she impressed everyone with her fashion sense and attitude. She leaves behind her pictures to be admired by the new generation.
