In this day and age when the pages of a calendar is generally devoted to skimpily clad models, one with black and white pictures of Bollywood’s yesteryear beauties is a pleasant change.

Playback icon Lata Mangeshkar, popular known as Lata Didi unveiled a calendar for 2013 titled Humsafar featuring mindblowing pictures of 17 top actresses of the past.

Lata has selected some of her favourite actresses for whom she had done playback in her career.

“The calendar is in black and white as it depicts the era I have lived in, where in I have sung for versatile actresses in my 70- year long career,” she said.

The calendar features the likes of  Madhubala, Nargis, Meena Kumari, Waheeda Rehman, Nanda, Dimple Kapadia and Madhuri Dixit.

The calendar, however, is not for sale. Indications are that it will be distributed on request to film connoisseurs. Each leaf consists of personal notes and memoirs on the actress featured as recalled by Lata.

The best part about this calendar is that it also contains lyrics of Lataji’s favourite song picturised on that actress.
