Controversial Bollywood queens, they’re the talk of Bollywood – from the hottest to the most scandalous! Who are these actresses and why do they seem to be constantly in the news? Here we explore and unpack the secrets behind some of Bollywood’s most talked about actresses.
Kareena Kapoor Khan
Starting with Kareena Kapoor Khan and her famous family, it’s clear that she was born into controversy. From her father’s high-profile affairs to her own strained relationships with others in the family, this actress has certainly been a talking point throughout her career. Her marriage to Saif Ali Khan was especially controversial as it brought two rival families together in what many thoughts were an arranged union. But despite all of this Kareena has gone on to have a successful career, making films such as Jab We Met and Talaash among her biggest box office hits.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is another prominent figure in Bollywood who is often seen at the center of controversies. From reports of a secret relationship with actor Salman Khan while she was still married, to rumors that she was responsible for Abhishek Bachchan’s break up with Karisma Kapoor, Aishwarya has long been a target of gossip both onscreen and off. In spite of this though, Aishwarya remains one of India’s top actresses, having given us iconic performances across genres including romantic dramas like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and action films like Dhoom 2.
Vidya Balan
Vidya Balan is known for taking on daring roles early in her career, pushing boundaries in Indian cinema. Her portrayal of Silk Smitha in The Dirty Picture earned her critical acclaim and numerous accolades including a National Film Award for Best Actress, however, it also led to criticism from more traditional quarters over its bold content. Vidya Balan went on to star in other movies such as No One Killed Jessica which tackled social issues related to gender inequality before finally achieving mainstream success with hit films like Kahaani and The Dirty Picture sequel Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai Dobara!
Kangana Ranaut
Finally, we have Kangana Ranaut whose outspoken views have gained her both admirers and detractors. Whether it’s advocating for women’s rights or critiquing nepotism within Bollywood, Kangana isn’t afraid to share her opinion no matter how unpopular it may be – something that makes her one of the most talked about actresses right now. Aside from stirring up headlines with polarizing remarks, she has also given us unforgettable performances across blockbuster hits like Queen and Simran.
These four women share many similarities – they’ve each made their mark on Bollywood by pushing boundaries through challenging roles or standing up for what they believe in – but it’s also clear that each one had their own unique paths toward success. Controversy queens indeed!
