1) Manushi Chhillar

The petite beauty Manushi Chhillar will be making a dream debut in Bollywood opposite Akshay Kumar in Prithviraj. She also has a YRF rom-com lined up with Vicky Kaushal. 

Manushi is the winner of Miss World 2017 as well as Femina Miss India 2017! 

2) Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

The gorgeous Aishwarya Rai Bachchan needs no introduction. The green-eyed diva was crowned Miss World in 1994 and soon entered Bollywood, and the rest is history.

The Jodha Akbar actress will next be seen in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan.

3) Sushmita Sen

The fiercely beautiful Sushmita Sen became the winner of both Femina Miss India 1994 and Miss Universe 1994… at the tender age of 18!

The 45-year-old icon lives life on her own terms, be it adopting two daughters (Renee and Alisah) or dating a younger man (Rohman Shawl). She was last seen in the web series Aarya, giving a power-packed performance.
