Celebrity faces: Then & Now

Whether it's courtesy good genes or a good plastic surgeon's hand or just aging well, here are what some of your favourite celebrities used to look like.

 The Khiladi boy seemed traded in his hairy chest and floppy locks for a more toned physique and an inimitable smile, that still has the women drooling. 

 The sweet Romeo of Qayamant Se Qyamat Tak has matured into a real gentleman and an actor of substance over the years, and age has treated him kind. A good bottle of rum, this one!

Chubby was his nickname as a child, but all that went out the door when he became an actor. To date, Hrithik's enormous sex appeal lies in his looks and of course that irresistible smile.

 We used to love this chirpy 'girl next door' with lush eye-brows and a great smile. Even after all these years, our love for her hasn't changed a bit.

 This cute bubbly girl transformed into a gorgeous diva and has a promising career and plenty of years ahead of her. What else does a star need?

 Looking at Salman Khan's old picture, brings the phrase 'Jekyll and Hyde' to mind. Quite a journey from the solemn and sweet young man of then to the bad boy of today.

 From a scrawny young model to the sexy, toned actress of today, Bipasha Basu's evolution over time has grabbed many an eyeball. Definitely still a showstopper!

 Fatrina! Sorry, we are not talking about Zarine Khan here. This is what Kat used to look like a couple of years ago. The gorgeous lady vehemently denies taking botox injections for her lips, but how else do you explain that perfect pout? It certainly isn't a makeup trick and we really weren't born yesterday.

 She is now the reigning queen of Bollywood and the Begum of Pataudi, but all those many years ago, Kareena was just another well endowed Punjabi kid. Raj Kapoor's granddaughter traded in her flab for fab and smote the rumour mills with her size zero figure for Tashan.

 Miles and miles between the cute little boy next door to the mighty King Khan. His impish grin and sparkling eyes may have mellowed through the years, but it hasn't done away with his immense charm and mass appeal. He isn't called "King" Khan for nothing y'know!

 It's no secret that Shilpa Shetty Kundra has gone under the knife. Sometimes perfection lies in the hand of the perfect plastic surgeon. Mrs. Kundra, who has recently become a mother, has come a long way from her fluffy hair and thick eyebrows. Thank gosh for that!

 From an innocent 16-year-old model to a daring woman who has done it all, Angelina Jolie's story could well be turned into a movie itself. The actress who recently underwent a preventive double mastectomy, today looks every bit the stunner she did as a young girl

 Our love affair with Ash began when she brought home the Miss World title - and we still love her now that she has become a yummy mommy. Through her acting career and red carpet appearances and of course, her post pregnancy flab flub. But whichever way you look at it, Ash remains a diva who takes everything in her stride. Her green eyes have not lost their intensity - nor has her beauty. Don't you agree?
