7 Actresses Who Don’t Need A Hero!

In an industry where men actors are worshiped, there are few heroines who have stood out and made their own mark. Here are 7 heroines we will never ever forget because they broke all the stereotypes to do some of the best movies with themselves as the lead:

 

1. Kangana Ranaut: Also known as Bollywood’s ‘Queen’, Kangana has been most appreciated for her bold and beautiful roles in the movies ‘Queen’ and ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’ were critically acclaimed. Apart from this, she is also known for her bold and straightforward statements during interviews and press meets.

 

2. Priyanka Chopra: The international superstar has left a huge mark for a lot of aspiring young women to go international. But, when it comes to performances, PeeCee was one hell of an actress in the movie ‘Fashion’ directed by Madhur Bhandarkar. She took us along with her through the roller coaster ride in the movie. The actress as ‘Kashibai’ in the movie ‘Bajirao Mastani’ was another movie by herself.

 

3. Nayanthara: This Kollywood superstar is absolutely firm on her ground when it comes to women-centric movies. Movies like ‘Maya’ and ‘Nee engae en anbe’ got her a lot of appreciation in an industry like Kollywood where heroes are celebrated the most.

 

4. Jyothika: The Queen of Kollywood once and again keeps proving her mettle in acting even post comeback. The actress in the movie ’36 Vayadhinile’ showed us a woman can do anything and being a housewife has got nothing to do with achievement. Her upcoming movies ‘Magalir Mattum’ and ‘nachiyar’ are most expected.

 

5. Anushka Sharma: Anushka Sharma has always been appreciated for her bold and beautiful roles. Her recent movie ‘NH10’ garnered a lot of appreciation and applause for her intense role. She never frowns away from standing out as a character even if the movie consists of a famous hero like Ranveer Singh in ‘Baand Baja Baaraat’.

 

6. Kareena Kapoor Khan: The Bollywood beauty has always taken up extreme roles when it comes to acting. She never shies away from doing a daring role. The movie ‘Heroine’ again directed by Madhur Bhandarkar showed us that Kareena can go deep into any character with ease. She was absolutely strong and totally graceful. Her role as Geeth in the movie ‘Jab We Met’ is something unforgettable.

 

7. Vidya Balan: She is the major inspiration to many heroine centric films. From ‘Kahaani’ to ‘The Dirty Picture’ she was so strong that it could not go unnoticed. Her movie ‘The Dirty Picture’ won numerous awards. She is truly the best actress when it comes to heroine-centric movies.
