Top 10 Bollywood Actresses

India has always produced some of the best and most beautiful film actresses in the world. Known for their timeless beauty, actresses have always burned the screens over the years. The Bollywood film industry is India's main film industry, producing the largest number of films per year.

The encouraging aspect of this industry is that they give equal leeway to female actresses as well. Bollywood actresses have always been the heartthrob of the nation. Since the days of Devika Rani and Deepika Padukone, this industry has seen timeless beauties. The list could be endless. It was Devika Rani in the 1940s and Nirupa Roy followed in her footsteps in the 1950s. Madhubala and Nutan were the stars of the 1960s, while the 1970s belonged to Hema Malini and Rekha. The era of the 1980s and 1990s belonged to the likes of Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla. Similarly, Kajol and Karisma Kapoor burned through the screens in the first decade of the twenty-first century.

Now, in this decade, we have the likes of Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone. So you can see that there is no shortage of talent as well as beauty. The actresses of today have gone even further and some of them like Priyanka and Deepika have also become just as famous in Hollywood.

Many factors are taken into account when compiling this list of the top ten Bollywood actresses of 2022. The beauty factor will always be important. We have to take into account the popularity as well as the earnings of the stars. The place is limited and so we had to skip some stars like Vidya Balan etc.

10. Alia Bhatt

At number 10 we have Alia Bhat. The daughter of acclaimed director Mahesh Bhat and Sonia Razdan, Alia is a teenage heartthrob. We have to admit that she is the epitome of beauty. In addition, she is also a good actress who has played several memorable roles in films such as "Student of the Year", "Two States", etc. She is only 24 years old, and she is a real Mumbaikar in every sense of the word. With a drop dead gorgeous appearance, it's no surprise that she is a highly paid actress earning Rs. 30 million last year.

9. Pariniti Chopra

Experience in the film industry is an advantage. Alia Bhat had plenty of that. The number 9 actress on this list, Parineeti Chopra, cannot claim such benefits. Her only connection to the film industry was her cousin Priyanka Chopra. Otherwise, self-made film actress Parineeti has the perfect girl-next-door image. A triple honors degree in business, finance and economics, she is a perfect example of the combination of beauty and intelligence. She is also a fantastic actress with memorable roles in films such as Ishaqzaade. A future actress, this girl from Ambala is having a really big time right now.

8. Anushka Sharma

In eighth place on this list, we have another actress with no experience in the film industry. Anushka Sharma, born in Ayodhya, is today one of the strongest actresses in the city. Starting her career with Shah Rukh Khan in Slave Ne Bana Di Jodi, this girl has come a long way to become one of the most sought after actresses in the industry. She knows how to easily perform the most difficult roles. Her performance in NH 8 and Sultan is a testament to her acting prowess. She is currently more in the news due to her connections with India's most eligible bachelor Virat Kohli.

7. Sonakshi Sinha

The daughter of one of Bollywood's top actors, Shatrugan Sinha, Sonakshi Sinha has the right looks and reputation to be ranked 7th on this list. A little heavier when she entered the market, today she managed to find an attractive figure. She has proven her versatility as an actress in films such as Dabangg and Rowdy Rathore. She is one of the few Bollywood actresses who managed to hold her own against the Kollywood superstar Rajnikanth.

6. Aishwarya Rai

Eternal beauty, we have Aishwarya Rai at number 6 on the list. Having won the title of Miss World, she is no stranger to show business. However, she did not have a film background on which to rely. She achieved this fame and fortune only through her acting skills. If not for the long break due to motherhood, she would be much higher on this list. The sister-in-law of the great Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya made her debut in the film industry with a role in the Tamil film Iruvar. Some of her memorable films include Raavan, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Devdas just to name a few.

5. Katrina Kaif

Originally known more for her beauty, Katrina Kaif has greatly improved her acting skills to achieve high results with stars like Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. At number 5 on this list, Katrina Kaif is one of the few actresses in the world who can look as stunning as ever, even without makeup. She is also one of the few actresses who have achieved success in the film industry without much family support. She had limitations in speaking Hindi, but now she has overcome them through exceptionally hard work. Some of her best films include Dhoom 3, one of the highest grossing films in Bollywood.

4. Kangana Ranaut

It is very difficult for a girl from a small town to break into the Bollywood industry. Here we have people with a cinematic background who are struggling to make a mark. However, our #4 contestant on this list, Kangana Ranaut, broke the glass ceiling. Hailing from a small town in Himachal Pradesh, Kangana Ranaut has come a long way in the film industry. Even though she doesn't have the usual Hindi movie heroine looks, she has had her moments of glory in movies like Tanu Marries Manu, Krish 3 etc.

3. Karina Kapoor

At number 3 we have an actress who could shine in any era of Bollywood. The granddaughter of Hindi film industry's greatest showman Raj Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor is an actress par excellence. She is able to carry the film on her slender shoulders. Her lists of memorable films are numerous. Starting her career with hit film like Refugee, she has starred in films like Jab We Met, Kabhi Khushi, Kabhi Gham etc. Being married to Saif Ali Khan, she briefly retired from the industry due to the birth of her son.

2. Priyanka Chopra

Either way, winning the Miss World and Miss Universe titles seems like the easiest way to get into the Bollywood film industry. At number 2 we have another eternal beauty, Priyanka Chopra. She would have been successful without even having the advantage of being Miss World. In terms of talent, no one can compare with her, except, say, Kareena Kapoor. On screen, she is also an absolute scorcher. She is the first major Bollywood actress to achieve success in Hollywood as well. Her roles in Quantico and Baywatch have also won many international fans.

1. Dipika Padukone

The undisputed queen of Bollywood today is none other than Deepika Padukone. The daughter of India's greatest badminton player Prakash Padukone, she has the most infectious smile in the Bollywood film industry since Madhuri Dixit. No wonder she has a charming personality. She made her mark in her very first film Om Shanti Om. She has played excellent roles in films such as Bajirao Mastani, Chennai Express, etc. She is also one of the most respected actresses in Hollywood. Her film "XXX" with Vin Diesel brought her great recognition.

We just saw the top ten Bollywood actresses today. It is a pity that we had to exclude from the list such beautiful actresses as Vidya Balan, Kajol and others. After all, our list can only accommodate the top ten. Each of the actresses listed in the Top 10 can reach great heights and earn the respect that Hema Malini and Madhuri Dixit have in the film industry today.
