Veteran performer Bushra Ansari often likes to open a window to the past on social media. This time she took her followers four decades back.

Ansari has shared a picture on Instagram from 1977, from her first major drama serial ‘Rishtay aur Raastay.’

She was 21 when she landed the role.

In an earlier picture, Ansari looked like a postcard for a fashionable young woman of the 1980s.

In her caption, the actress wrote in Urdu, “What an age it was, what a time it was.”

One user compared her to Indian actress Reena Rai while another added “You seem to be missing the old days a lot.”
