Top 5 Most Beautiful Bollywood Actresses of All Time

1. Rani Mukherji Rani Mukherji, like her cousin Kajol, went unnoticed during the initial years of her Bollywood career. Her first appearance was in a Bengali film “Biyer Phool” (1996) followed by her non de-script appearance in “Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat”. Success to Rani came with “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” in 1998 and she never looked back. Rani has been a part of many commercial successes in Bollywood including “Saathiya”, “Hum Tum”, “Bunti aur Babli” and “Kabhi Alvida na Kehna”. She is also known for her women oriented roles with “Mardani” being her latest appearance. She has associated herself actively in several humanitarian issues and promotes rights of women and children. She is married to the film producer Aditya Chopra. Performance of Rani has been appreciated a lot and she has won Filmfare Awards for Best Supporting Actress for her roles in “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”, “Yuva” and “No One Killed Jessica”. 2. Sridevi None, including Sridevi, would have realized that she could one day become the most iconic face of Bollywood. Considered to be the ‘the first female superstar of Indian Cinema’, Sridevi left an impeccable mark in Bollywood with her classic appearances including “Nagina” and “Mr. India”. She made her debut in Bollywood with “Solva Sawan” in 1978. However, it was her appearance in blockbuster movie “Himmatwala” in 1983 that she came to notice largely. Sridevi bid farewell to Bollywood post her marriage to Boney Kapur but returned to Bollywood in 2012 with “English Vinglish”. Interestingly, Sridevi is the only actress who gave a hit movie post her return to Bollywood. She was also awarded Padma Shri by Government of India in 2013 for her contribution to the Indian film industry. 3. Hema Malini Born into a Tamil Iyengar family in Tiruchirappali, Hema Malini has been one of the most beautiful and successful actresses in the Indian film industry. She has appeared in over 150 films during her career which spanned over a period of 40 years. A Bharatanatyam dancer to the core, Hema Malini has also tried her hand in production and direction. She now spends most of her time in charitable and social ventures with some occasional appearances in movies and television shows too. She tried framing the film career of her daughter Esha Deol and even produced a movie for her, but unlike her mother, Esha could not make a worthy career in Bollywood. Honored with Padma Shri by Government of India, Hema Malini has been nominated for Best Actress Award in Filmfare 11 times. She took a plunge in politics in the latter part of her career and is currently the Member of Parliament from Mathura. 4. Madhubala Born as Mumtaz Jahan Begum Dehlavi, Madhubala was a part of many successful Bollywood flicks in 1950s and early 1960s. Admired for her timeless beauty, Madhubala has been regarded as the most talented movie stars of her era. She was specially appreciated for her performance in movies like “Mahal”, “Amar”, “Chalti ka Naam Gaadi” and “Jalwa”. Incidentally, her last movie was released in 1971, 2 years after her death. Madhubala was from a rich Pushto origin family but had to face many hardships in her early life. Her entry into the film world was more of a compulsion and she got her first role as a child artist at the age of 9. Her career in Bollywood spanned from 1942 until 1960. Madhubala died young at 36 in 1969 as she suffered from many medical complications and had a bad love life too, which caused a lot of depression to her. “Mughal-e-Azam” has been regarded as one of her most contemporary appearances and Madhubala has been appreciated in Hollywood too for her acting abilities. 5. Madhuri Dixit Madhuri Dixit trained to be a Microbiologist but ended up being the most successful Bollywood actress ever. Admired for her beauty worldwide, Madhuri Dixit has creative acting skills and is also a trained Kathak dancer. Madhuri has acted in over 100 Bollywood movies so far with “Dil” (1990), “Saajan” (1991), “Beta” (1992), “Hum Aapke Hain Kaun” (1994) and “Dil To Pagal Hai” (1997) being her most popular Bollywood appearances. She has been rewarded for her acting capabilities and has the maximum number of Best Actress Nominations at Filmfare award. Government of India too recognized her acting skills and she was given Padma Shri in 2008. Madhuri married Dr. Nene and after a short stint in America, the iconic Bollywood actress returned back to India.
