5. Alia Bhatt & Soni Razdan

Don’t we all love the super bubbly Alia Bhatt? Her transformation from fat to fab is truly awe inspiring. And her style quotient has also undergone significant improvement from her Student of the Year to Shaandaar days. Ask this Highway babe and she accredits her graceful mommy Soni Razdan who serves as her role model. Even at 60, the British born Soni is one hot and stylish celebrity mom who swears by printed or plain shirts over a pair of denims. However she looks equally gorgeous in ethnic wears worn during weddings and puja get-togethers.

6. Gauri Khan and Suhana

Given Gauri Khan’s drop dead gorgeous features, it is a shame she didn’t enter mainstream Bollywood. However this Queen Bee who reigns over the heart of our very own Badshah Khan has always been a fashion frontrunner sporting outfits which hog page three covers. Daughter Suhana is also molding into one hot babe nailing both casual and party looks with much ease. Her twitter feed has a bounty of up close and personal pictures of this dusky teenaged babe who is well stocked in all the right places.

7. Dimple Kapadia and Twinkle Khanna

Dimple Kapadia, the blue eyed diva of Bollywood married a legend and Twinkle was born. How could anything go wrong? Dimple Kapadia had some iconic fashion moments in Bollywood (have you forgotten Bobby?) and ‘Mrs Funnybones’ Twinkle Khanna exudes charisma whenever she steps out. Twinkle who owns a successful designing store has also built up a strong fanbase thanks to her superb writing skills. Her entry in the film fraternity did burst some box office fireworks in the form of the blockbuster Barsaat. This mother daughter duo who had been highly successful in their chosen fields swears by minimalistic style. After all when you have such expressive doe shaped eyes and gorgeous locks, you rarely need much cakey makeup to put on.

These Bollywood royals spell charm, elegance, perfection and poise in every sense possible. Be it ramp shows, family get-togethers, wedding or brand endorsement these ethereal beauties with their vibrant eyes, porcelain skin and trademark dimple never fail to look spectacular. Sharmila Tagore is a fashion icon who ruled Bollywood with her acting chops. She was also the first actress to sport a monokini in Hindi cinema. Soha Ali Khan may have failed to make her mark in Bollywood, but the fact she is extremely fashionable cannot be denied.

9. Hema Malini and Esha Deol

Yesterday’s Dreamgirl Hema Malini has ample of blockbuster hits to her credit. But her elder daughter Esha didn’t quite manage to earn Bollywood success like her glamorous mom. However this mother and daughter duo are extraordinary bharatanatyam dancers and their stage performance are absolute bliss to watch. They can also be seen in Kent water purifier brand endorsements.

10. Sarika & Akshara Hassan

Yesterday’s actress Sarika was a toast amongst Bollywood circuit in terms of her god gifted good looks which was a direct result of her half Rajput half Maharashtrian genes. She created style statements with bold outfits which surely were ahead of her time. As a single mom she single handedly raised her daughters both of whom are doing exceptionally well in south cinemas. Younger daughter Akshara with her blue eyes and quirky style looks like a mirror image of the effervescent Sarika who is mostly seen sporting monochromatic silk sarees and minimal makeup at public events.

11. Neena Gupta & Masaba Gupta

The calm and free spirited nature of Neena Gupta has been passed down the genes of daughter Masaba Gupta who is already a big name to reckon in fashion circuit. Masaba’s work is a clear portrayal of her mother’s effortless style. Breezy silhouettes with eye catching prints have become the USP of House of Masaba – her clothing range which top celebrities like Sonam Kapoor swear by. We are completely in love with their mushy affection display and style give and take.

12. Aparna Sen and Konkona Sen Sharma

Taking a turn from the conventional style, this National Award winning mother daughter duo has made their mark in Bollywood’s unconventional fashion strait. Prior to donning the director’s hat, Aparna was a celebrated actress who worked with industry magnets like Satyajit Ray. With handloom sarees, silver jewelries and understated, yet attractive style, Aparna, and Konkana are a trendsetter in their own term. They are extremely talented and through their style, they have been able to portray just that ounce of confidence. This whirlpool of talent stunned audiences as a ground breaking creative team with their critically acclaimed venture film Mr and Mrs Iyer.

The mirror swears by external looks for judging a person. But as they say, beauty is skin deep. It depends upon the perception of the beholder. We feel all these mom and daughter jodis are equally beautiful. Some in terms of nature, some in terms of talent – but each one of them is a gem to reckon.
