From sanskaari to sexy: It’s time we pay attention to the style evolution of ghosts in Bollywood!

We've always focused on the actor's/actress style statement and honestly, it's about time we concentrate on ghosts too. Have a look

Fads come and go and every generation has extremely different style statements. While thin eyebrows were the norm 10 years ago, it’s all about thick brows now! When it comes to cinema, they way actors dress is the first thing people see. While we notice everybody’s style statements- the villain, the hero, the actress, the supporting cast- there is one character whose style has been largely ignored by all of us- the GHOSTS!

Yes, when it comes to Bollywood, ghosts have come a long way. From being basic and simple chudails to what they look like now, their style evolution is noteworthy! It’s about time we gave them a shout out for not letting us sleep at night, right? Let’s take a look at the evolution of filmy ghosts over the decades:
