Mrunal Thakur’s Do Deewane Seher Mein Look Goes VIRAL: Top Bollywood Actresses Who Turned Glasses Into a Fashion Statement
With Mrunal Thakur’s spectacle look in Do Deewane Seher Mein drawing praise, here’s a throwback to Bollywood actresses who made glasses iconic on screen. From Deepika Padukone’s Naina to Alia Bhatt’s Kaira, these characters proved eyewear can define a look.
Top Bollywood Glasses Looks
Here are the top Bollywood spectacle looks that prove glasses can be just as stylish and defining as any fashion accessory on screen.
Sonam Kapoor as Myra Sehgal in Bewakoofiyaan (2014)
With Sonam Kapoor, eyewear automatically becomes fashion. Myra’s glasses were sharp, corporate, structured. They matched her banker persona but still leaned stylish rather than severe. Clean frames. Power-dressing adjacent.
Kareena Kapoor as Pia Sahastrabuddhe in 3 Idiots (2009)
Kareena Kapoor’s Pia wore spectacles sparingly, but memorably. Particularly in her medical-student setting. The frames added credibility to the character’s professional space without dulling her screen presence. Practical. Polished. Very Pia.
Deepika Padukone as Naina Talwar in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013)
Possibly one of Bollywood’s most famous spectacle looks. Deepika Padukone’s Naina began as the introverted medical student with oversized frames and tied-back hair. The glasses became shorthand for her pre-transformation identity. Even after the makeover, that earlier look stayed iconic.
Preity Zinta as Naina Catherine Kapur Patel in Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003)
Long before “nerd-chic” was a phrase, Preity Zinta’s Naina defined it. Large rectangular frames, minimal styling, emotionally guarded body language. Her eventual transformation worked partly because the spectacle look had been so firmly established early on.
