Top 9 Bollywood Actresses, Turned Into Action Stars

PRIYANKA CHOPRA

IN QUANTICO AND DON

Undoubtedly the reigning queen of action in Hindi cinema, Priyanka has now taken us overseas with her headlining action show Quantico on ABC. From what we’ve seen of the show till now, we’re thrilled at how adept this lady is at honing her skills in the action department—but that comes with the territory when you’re playing an FBI trainee/agent, right? We’re also looking forward to her cop avatar in Gangaajal 2. Priyanka has also been seen kicking ass in: Don, Don 2, Mary Kom, and Drona.

ANUSHKA SHARMA

IN NH10

Anushka made everyone sit up and take notice when she decided to produce the NH10 story herself. And what a story it was. NH10 gave us the new generation Angry Young Woman that we’d been waiting for. Anushka single handedly takes down a pack of village goons who are out for blood. We still get the chills when we hear the sound of metal scraping on asphalt....

DEEPIKA PADUKONE

IN CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA

Being paired opposite India’s action star, Akshay Kumar, and still managing to shine in an action sequence is not easy. But Padukone excelled in her double role as Sakhi and Suzy, feline add-ons included. While we haven’t really seen her do many action packed roles since, we’re really looking forward to her next. If you’ve watched the trailers for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s epic, Bajirao Mastani, you know Deepika is going to be amazing as the sword-wielding Mastani.

KANGANA RANAUT
