Shammi Kapoor
Stepping away from his trademark Shammi Kapoor moves, here the curly flicks perfectly blend with a dash of jewelry, making Shammi quite a stunner in this song sung by Shamshad Begum.
Rishi Kapoor
This would probably be the best trick ever to win your lady. Attempt some gender bending stuff and become her BFF. She confides in you and bingo!
Take a cue from Rishi Kapoor in the film Rafoo Chakkar on how to cross-dress and woo your lady with girly talk.
Paintal
This film would have been incomplete without Paintal. Although Rishi Kapoor managed to cross-dress and walkthrough it in high heels with ease, Paintal reportedly got so carried away with the act that he even forgot for a while that he’s a guy!
Amitabh Bachchan
Big B’s voice and his various drag avatars made this song a memorable one. Mere Angane Mein... continues to be the highlight of Lawaaris.
Shah Rukh Khan
Sharat Saxena playing Dhingra gets the shock of his life when the ‘call girl’ turns out to be Shah Rukh Khan!
This clip on YouTube has quite a few interesting comments, from people wondering as to how beautiful SRK would look had he been a woman to someone eyeing his sexy legs... woah!
Huh! Is That Aamir Khan?
Aamir’s cross-dressing history goes way back to the 1990s in the movie Baazi, where he stunned us with the item number Dole Dole Dil Dole.
With an elaborate curly hairdo and a sexy slit black dress, Aamir drags to perfection.
Saif Ali Khan
It might be in the list of the worst films ever made, but Saif Ali Khan does get a special mention for his drag look.
With bold lip shades, feathery ear-rings, Saif does look the best cross-dresser in the film! But that’s not saying much, considering the fact that he had Ram Kapoor and Riteish Deshmukh for competition.
Riteish Deshmukh
Before Humshakals, Riteish went drag in Apna Sapna Money Money. But we aren’t really complaining as he does have oomph!
Rani Mukerji
Well the male actors aren’t the only ones to experiment with cross-dressing. Bollywood female leads prove that they too are quite capable to stepping into a man’s world.
Rani Mukerji grows a beard and still manages to look cute as a Sadarji! She turns into Veer from Veera in Dil Bole Hadippa, all this just to be part of a men’s cricket team.
Vidya Balan
Though Bobby Jasoos didn’t work at the box-office, we quite dug Vidya in her different manly avatars in the film. So what do you prefer? Her Dirty Picture moves or drag detective ones? We think she rocks at both.
