After Helen, These Divas Rocked The Role Of Bar Dancer

The 1970s, of course, preferred the disco floor to the dance bar, but these garish watering holes made a comeback to Hindi films in the 90s. Names like Divya Bharti and Sonali Bendre played bar dancers in Dil Aashna Hai and English Babu Desi Mem, respectively. The decade was also marked by the mushrooming of dance bars in Mumbai, which began dominating the dark nightlife of the city. Soon after, the men with the dark jobs and mafia doyens began making nightly visits to these dance bars. Gritty narratives about the lives such criminals brought dance bars back into Bollywood.

With the change of time, the way bar dance songs are displayed too changed and no doubt these young talents have put in their best efforts to look flawless in that character.
