Mallika Sherawat
From the dusty streets of Haryana to the slick boulevards of Hollywood, Los Angeles, Mallika Sherawat has come a long way. She made her mark with her ‘hot’ act in Murder, opposite Emraan Hasmhi, quickly making a name for herself in the nook and crannies of India. With a past that was, for long, muddled in controversy and intrigue, Mallika soon gave it all up and moved from strength to strength (or some may say controversy to controversy) doing films that required her to shed more clothes and do little more. Interestingly, Mallika silenced her critics with good performances in Pyaar Ke Side Effects and Ugly Aur Pagli, where fans got a glimpse of her funny side. She also wowed us with her sexy dance moves in the Maiyya maiyya song in Mani Ratnam’s Guru. In the recent years, however, she has appeared in extremely forgettable films like The Myth (a small role opposite Jackie Chan) and Hisss (where she plays a nagin!) But Mallika makes it to this list because of her sheer grit (she has been camping in Los Angeles for at least a year now) and her easy love for the social media.
Preity Zinta
For an army kid who stumbled into movies, Preity Zinta has had a chequered career so far. While she delivered many good performances and even hits, the younger heroines who entered Bollywood at the turn of the new millennium overtook Preity. Be that as it may, this actress has always stood her own, be it while defending her Indian Premier League team, Kings XI Punjab, or gracefully handling her break-up with her former beau, industrialist Ness Wadia. The dimpled actress has not been seen in a leading role for quite some time, but is a regular on the Bollywood A-list. She is also one of the few conscientious actors around. Remember when Preity, against all the odds, stood in the witness box in the Bharat Shah case?
