Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Diamonds might be a girl's best friend. A Bollywood Queen Bee, however, holds dear her share of gold, silver, kundan, minakari, gems and pearls too. rediff.com showcases some exquisite jewelery worn by our heroines in the movies recently.


Jodhaa Akbar


Playing a Rajput princess can be a hard day's work when adorned with these many jewels. Yet Aishwarya Rai Bachchan looks armed to kill in elaborate pieces of gold, diamond and pearls for Ashutosh Gowarikar's magnum opus, Jodhaa Akbar

Devdas

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's extravagant version of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's novel is every jewelery aficionado's dream come true. If Madhuri Dixit looks a million bucks in her gold jhumkis and kundan haars, Ash is aristocracy personified in her choice of antique ornaments.

Paheli

Precious bodhlas, intricate naths, sparkling kangans and studded necklaces (helmed by jewlery brand Tanishq) have their own stories to share even as they sit pretty on an equally gorgeous Rani Mukerji in the Rajasthani fairy tale, Paheli.

Veer-Zaara

Preity Zinta dumps her usual urban chick look to deck up in lavish diamond-emerald chokers and teekas for Yash Chopra's Indo-Pak romance.

Umrao Jaan

The best thing about playing a Bollywood courtesan is the bling factor. Costume drama veteran, Aishwarya is a sight to behold in her shiny, bejeweled avatar for J P Dutta's lackluster remake of the Muzzaffar Ali's classic.

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham

In Karan Johar flicks, everyone's loaded, leads a lavish lifestyle and breaks into a elaborately choreographed jig. And that probably explains why the three ladies of K3G -- Jaya Bachchan, Kajol and Kareena Kapoor sashay in their best gold finery and diamond sets round the clock.

Eklavya

Considering Vidhu Vinod Chopra's visually arresting Eklavya revolves around a palace and its mysteries, the opulence is reflected in Vidya Balan and Raima Sen's adornments as well.

Om Shanti Om

Playing a Dreamy Girl in Om Shanti Om offered hot entrant Deepika Padukone ample scope to showcase filmi junk jewels in all its glory.

Parineeta

Yet another adaptation of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's beloved story witnesses Vidya Balan make a pretty picture in jadau trinkets and chandelier earrings.

Zubeidaa

From vintage pieces and uncut diamonds to precious gemstones and pearl strings, Karisma Kapoor and Rekha displayed an array of jewellery in Shyam Benegal's poignant Zubeidaa.
