Sharmila Tagore was among the top actresses of the Hindi film industry in the 60s and 70s. The actress who made her debut with 'Apur Sansar' in 1959 was known for breaking the glass ceiling from time to time. In the 60s, the actress made headlines and became the talk of the town with her bikini appearance in the film 'An Evening In Paris'. Back then it was not as normal for women to wear bikini or skimpy clothes on screen. In a recent interview, the actress had opened up about wearing a bikini in the film and the conversation that followed. 

Sharmila Tagore was in conversation with author Twinkle Khanna for her chat show 'The Icons'. When asked about shooting in a bikini for ‘An Evening in Paris’, Sharmila laughed about it sharing that she won’t get over that ever. “It became such a big thing,” she said, saying that she was amused at how a ‘piece of clothing’ could create so much controversy.
