Sharmila Tagore is known for her unconventional choices on the professional front. The Bengali beauty had created history in August 1966 with her first-ever bikini shoot for a magazine and a film. It is said that it was Sharmila Tagore, who became a pioneer of the bikini trend with her bold photoshoot. It was then followed by her contemporaries in the film industry. She had unleashed her bold side wearing a sky-blue coloured one-piece swimsuit in her film, An Evening In Paris, and a black bikini for the cover of the Filmfare magazine. Back then, it was indeed a brave move.
