Top Bollywood Actresses 2011, Number one Bollywood Actress

Here is the list of best Bollywood actresses in 2011.  Share your views about who is your favorite Bollywood actress and why.

1. Kareena Kapoor- With a string of mega blockbuster hits that can make any actress cringe with envy, Kareena Kapoor is the queen of Bollywood.  With four of her films crossing Rs. 100 crore mark, no Bollywood male actor can compete with her in this- Golmaal Returns (2008), 3 Idiots (2009), Golmaal 3 (2010), Bodyguard (2011) and Ra One (2011).  The future prospects of Kareena Kapoor is worth in gold, considernig that she has two expensive thrillers Agent Vinod with boyfriend Saif Ali Khan and Talaash with Aamir Khan.  Kareena Kapoor has an author-backed role of Heroine in Madhur Bhandarkar's next. She also has a wax statue at Madame Tussauds. Phew!!

2. Vidya Balan- The voluptuous Vidya Balan has stayed away from the rat race and smiles like a cheshire cat.  One of the best actors of our time, Vidya Balan is the best Bollywood actress of 2011, with a deglam role in the sleeper hit No One Killed Jessica, followed by a seductive no-holds barred role of Silk Smitha in the Dirty Picture.   Vidya Balan is a go-to woman when it comes to playing biopics or author-backed role be it of a girl suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder in Bhool Bhulaiya,  Sabrina Lal in No One Killed Jessica or Silk Smitha in the Dirty Picture. 

3. Katrina Kaif-People regard Katrina Kaif's performance in Mere Brother Ki Dulhan as her career best performance while we stick to her brilliant performance in New York as her best.  Whatever is the verdict, Katrina Kaif is one real hard-worker who gives nothing but the best for her films. Sheela Ki Jawani, for good or bad reasons, made Katrina Kaif more popular than all of her films combined.  This year, however, she delivered with superb performances in Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and a superhit in Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara. Find out who is a better actress Kareena Kapoor or Katrina Kaif

4. Priyanka Chopra- Success has eluded this firebrand, hot actress for long. She can be exceptionally brilliant when she has a guidance of a good director and a meaty role to boot. Fashion won Priyanka Chopra a national award and rightly so, the girl was so amazing in the film that it was hard to  imagine anyone else in the role.  But that was 2008, it has been three years now and the sexy actress is still looking for a hit.  In 2011, Priyanka Chopra had Saath Khoon Maaf, a movie that she worked quite hard on but that did not pass the muster. Now she has a glamorous role as familiar Roma in Don 2 opposite her favorite Shah Rukh Khan, Agneepath with Hrithik Roshan and  another powerful, mentally challenged role in Barfi directed by Anurag Basu.

5. Mahie Gill- Just like Vidya Balan, Mahie Gill can match her in sheer histrionics.  A think man's actress, Mahie Gill was more than just candy to the eyes in Not a Love Story, which unfortunately did not do her justice. Her big eyes, smoldering sensuality and her ability to be inhibition-free makes her a darling of the camera. Mahie Gill's brilliant acting was to the fore in the thriller Saheb Biwi aur Gangster, the most under-rated movie of 2011. . Check out who is hotter Mahie Gill or Vidya Balan

6. Deepika Padukone- Oddly, Deepika Padukone's best performances have been in her flop films, one of them being Lafangey Parindey. She needs a good director who can hone her skills to perfection.  Barring her sizzling item number in Dum Maro Dum and her role in Desi Boyz, there was not much noise on her end in 2011. Let's see what Race 2 does for her.

7.  Anushka Sharma-Anushka Sharma is Yash Raj Films wonder girl with two superhits Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Band Baaja Baarat. However, as much as we like her spitfire performances, we find her getting stereotyped. She needs to break-free of this before it gets on to her. Anushka Sharma's future films include Ladies VS Ricky Bahl, Matru Ki Biwi Ka Mann Dola

8. Bipasha Basu- Bipasha Basu is the hottest actress of Bollywood, if you go by her figure and her amazing athletic body. But success at the box office has continued to elude her for many years now.  Her last hit was in 2009 (All the Best) but that also had less scope for her to perform. But Bipasha Basu has some real good films lined up where she can show bikini figure in Players (2012), Race 2 and Raaz 2. The stars definitely shine bright for Bipasha Basu in 2012.

9. Kangna Ranaut- Kangna Ranaut is quite a chameleon, she has experimented with her looks so many times and every time, it keeps on getting better.  This self-stylist has got many things right-like her clothes, her performances and her movies. When she was getting slotted as an addicted character in many movies, Kangna Ranaut went ahead and did Tanu Weds Manu, which is one of the biggest hits of 2011. She also showed her bikini body in Rascals, however we can put it down to a bad choice of a film. Next up for Kangna Ranaut is Priyadarshan's Tezz and I Love New Year.

10. Asin- Asin, the chirpy cute girl from South, played her way to our hearts in Ghajini in 2009 and was nice  in Ready as well. But the girl is getting type-cast and it is nice if she gets more on the spicy act. Goody-goody can be boring at times, isn't it babe? Asin's future movies include Bol Bachchan with Rohit Shetty and Houseful2
