Indian cinema is a very controversial and sometimes funny phenomenon, but whatever you think about it, there’s no denying that Bollywood has some of the most beautiful actresses in the world. This is probably because many of them started their acting careers as models.
So let’s meet some of the most beautiful and extremely popular Bollywood actresses right here, right now.
Aishwarya Rai
Aishwarya is like Monica Bellucci of Bollywood — a real diva of divine beauty and impeccable talent. She also might be the most famous actress outside of India.
Deepika Padukone
Did you know that Deepika was born in Denmark? Her family lived there for a while but moved to their homeland, Bangalore, soon after her birth. You would not believe how many different awards Deepika has won at such a young age, but it’s truly impressive.
Priyanka Chopra
Like many other Bollywood actresses, Priyanka’s career began with winning a beauty pageant. Before that, she dreamed of becoming a coder or a programmer, but everything turned out differently. In addition to her unique acting talents, Chopra also has an angelic voice.
Katrina Kaif
Until the age of twenty, Katrina traveled from one city to another, from Hong Kong to London, so naturally, when she came to work in the film industry, she did not speak Hindi well. At first, she was usually voiced over by other actresses, however, pretty soon, Katrina figured everything out and for even more famous.
Amrita Rao
Amrita hails from the venerable Brahmin community of Chitrapur Saraswat and did not even suspect until 2002 that she would one day become an actress. However, her successful debut in The Call of a Loving Soul determined her fate.
Sonam Kapoor
Sonam was born into riches and basically had connections with the most influential filmmakers in India. Even the famous director Sanjay Leela Bhansali said that she would make a great actress, but she was a bit too chunky. After hearing such an outrageous comment, Sonam accepted the challenge and, for her first role, lost over 65 lbs.
Vidya Balan
This actress has more than fifty different movie awards under her stylish belt, and a few years ago, she even received a government award for her contribution to the cinema of India. If you ask me, that’s way better and more prestigious than an Oscar.
Mallika Sherawat
Mallika is one of the few Bollywood actresses to have starred in Hollywood movies. Back in India, hundreds of thousands of fans consider her a Bollywood sex symbol.
Sonakshi Sinha
Years before Sonakshi started gracing our screens with her pretty face, she was into fashion and costume designs. Actually, Sinha began her career not as an actress but as a costume designer who created costumes for the movie Mera Dil Leke Dekho.
Bipasha Basu
Bipasha was about to start a modeling career in the United States and received several incredible job offers. But at some point, she got so homesick, she couldn’t handle the pressure and returned to India, ending up as one of the most popular Bollywood stars.
Genelia D’souza
So far, Genelia has not been very successful with snagging those prestigious movie awards, but she is still considered one of the most promising actresses in Bollywood, Tollywood, and other Woods based on different Indian languages. Maybe one day, she’ll get to be in Hollywood too.
Rani Mukherjee
Rani Mukherjee topped the Bollywood Ten Best Actresses list three times in a row from 2005 to 2007. In February 2006, Filmfare magazine ranked her #8 on the Bollywood’s Top Ten Greatest list. She definitely looks the part!
