Bollywood's Most Beautiful Actresses


- rediff.com


There is something beautiful and unique in every actress in the Hindi film industry. It may be Rani Mukerji's expressive eyes or Kareena Kapoor's luscious lips!

Rediff.com picks ten of the most beautiful actresses in the industry today.

Aishwarya Rai

The former Miss World is on every photographer's dream list. Ash is easily one of the hottest actresses in the Hindi film industry today, even as she is ready to take on the international stage.

This hazel-eyed beauty looked especially gorgeous in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas, where she donned rich traditional saris.

Bipasha Basu

She may not have the traditional good looks. But it is difficult to ignore this dusky Bengali beauty, who has one of the hottest figures.

Though Bips doesn't mind her sex symbol tag, she had once said that she wished she were a boy -- then she would have got those meaty roles that bypass her due to her 'image'.

Riya Sen

Moon Moon Sen's youngest daughter hasn't had much luck in the film industry, what with most of her roles being restricted to a couple of minutes.

But in the looks department, Riya beats most of her peers, thanks to her intoxicating eyes and seductive smile.

Kareena Kapoor

Bebo has a quality. She can look dazzling in an elaborate getup (Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon), stunning in a simple look sans makeup (Refugee), and to kill for in a Western 'Poo' look (Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham).

Rani Mukerji

Rani is one of the few actresses who can carry a 'no makeup look' very well. With brown, expressive eyes and a contagious smile, she is probably one of the friendliest actresses in the industry today.

Stylist Mickey Contractor gave her a new tanned look in Chalte Chalte. And her kohl-lined eyes enhanced her face like never before.

Sonali Bendre

One of the most underrated actresses of recent times, Sonali has traditional beauty. No wonder she looked mind-blowing in Amol Palekar's Anaahat.

The actress, who was last seen in Kal Ho Naa Ho, has cut down on work after her marriage to director Goldie Behl. Behl's gain is Bollywood's loss!

Preity Zinta

She may not have classic beauty. Nor be sexy. Nor have that great to-die-for figure.

But Preity Zinta has charm. A boyish charm that is very appealing. From the time she made her debut in Dil Se to her Kal Ho Naa Ho days, Preity has attracted audiences with her generous laugh and cute looks.

Sushmita Sen

The sultry former Miss Universe has been in the limelight for a while now. Last year saw a great performance from her in Samay. This year, she will make an appearance in one of the most awaited films of the year, Main Hoon Na.

With her unconventional looks, Sushmita may find it difficult to find her niche in the industry. But there's no denying the sensational Sen.

Shilpa Shetty

She may not have the perfect face or the perfect laugh. But she's hot! With a fabulous hourglass figure, Shilpa Shetty probably has the flattest stomach in the film industry!

Madhuri Dixit

Dazzling is the first adjective that springs to mind when you see this woman. With her luminous smile, smooth complexion and stunning beauty, Madhuri Dixit is one of the most gorgeous women in the film industry.

It's no wonder then that her fans simply do not want her to go into retirement and are eagerly awaiting her next release with bated breath.
