Dimple Kapadia, the queen of hearts that ruled the era of 70's and 80's, played some redefining roles. From a woman of substance to an actress who became an instant crush, there's so much more that Dimple has contributed to Bollywood. As the actress celebrates her 65th birthday, let's take you down the memory lane with some of her iconic songs that still makes a place on our playlists.

For those who don't know Dimple Kapadia, she is an afluent actress who starred in nearly 53 odd movies. Some superhit, some questionable, the actress is ageing like fine wine. Delivering kick-ass performances on-screen even today, one doesn't call her a 'redefining actress' for no reason.

From making her debut in Bobby to starrung alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone in Pathan, the actress sure has seen the industry evolved and how. Talking about some sensical music back in the golden era, her natural beauty enhanced the lyrics and composition of the song. Some of the soulful Bollywood tracks may get a remake but there's nothing like an original masterpiece.

So here's to the birthday gril Dimple Kapadia. Yes, she's still the 14 year old girl who made her debut alongside Rishi Kapoor for us.

1. Sagar Jaisi Aakhon Wali - Saagar

The iconic song has been one of the most romantic songs we've ever come across. This movie, in a way, was Dimple's comeback after she and Rajesh Khanna seperated. Starring alongside Rishi Kapoor, Saagar and the leading pair were truly breathtaking.



2. Kisi Nazar Ko Tera Intezaar - Aitbaar

A slightly off-beat choice from her usual movies, this Ghazal is a masterpiece on nights when you feel alone. Gracefully sung by Bhupinder and Asha Bhosle, Dimple stole the limelight in this track.

3. Yaara Sili Sili - Lekin

This is one of those songs that refuses to leave your mind. Dimple Kapadia was given a cue to underplay herself in this song and she did exceedingly well. Lata Mangeshkar's voice enhances the melody to another level.

4. Main Shayar Toh Nahi - Karz

The world will agree that no one but Dimple was the best choice for this song. Having Rishi Kapoor singing this song to her did total justice to the track. "Jabse dekha maine tujhko, mujhko shayari aa gayi" - just makes our day already better.

5. Kaisi Hain Yeh Rut - Dil Chahta Hain

A movie that welcomed age-gap romance in Bolllywood, she looks drop-dead gorgeous in that white saree. One cannot tell that she was 44 when Dil Chahta Hain was released.

Dimple Kapadia is a timeless beauty, a true talent, and an evergreen actress that Bollywood is proud of. We wish the beautiful actress a very happy birthday!
