Ms Ali also found some older covers of film magazines such as Stardust and Star & Style from 1978-79. She was making her debut opposite Shashi Kapoor, Shabana Azmi and Jennifer Kendal in the acclaimed Junoon and was hailed as a heroine in the mould of Zeenat Aman and Parveen Babi. The Stardust cover blurb even reads "Move over Ms Aman, Nafisa Ali is here."
Unsurprisingly, the comments threads on both these posts overflow with fulsome compliments.
Nafisa Ali, a former beauty queen and swimming champion, chose her films very carefully and acted only sporadically. Her short filmography also includes 1998's Major Saab with Amitabh Bachchan, 2007's Life In A... Metro and 2010 film Yamla Pagla Deewana with Dharmendra and sons.
