Devesh Sharma and Rachit Gupta Profile the women achievers of the industry-Divas who smashed all stereptypes.
SHOWBIZ IS BELIEVED TO BE A MAN’S WORLD, BUT IT’S THE WOMEN WHO MAKE IT TICK. We’re not talking about the battle of the sexes here. It’s not some ‘pink revolution’ that we’re talking about either. Rather, these women from the Hindi film industry are like the Amazonian warriors. Fearless, feisty and ethereal. They have proved their mettle at the box-office and have carved out their identity not just in the acting space, but as people wielding power and enjoying a rock-solid position. If the Khans are superstars these ladies are in a league of their own. Names like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone have even transcended to international stardom. A feat that our desi heroes still can’t lay claim to. Resilient girls like Madhuri Dixit, Kajol and Kareena Kapoor Khan have commanded equal respect through their long and illustrious careers. Go-getters like Rani Mukerji and Anushka Sharma have secured their place as power producers in the film industry. These women have defied the norms and changed the orthodox wheels of the system. Here’s an exclusive list of all contemporary leading ladies from Hindi cinema, who still rock their world.
These women define the phrase, girl power!
