Today almost every model from the fashion world has made it a point to join the Bollywood wagon, proving critics wrong that models can’t act. They have reinvented the identity of Bollywood actresses, gone are the days with the typical classic Indian look or old era feature, beauty and the likes. Today change has arrived in Indian cinema and the current trend is sharp features, big eyes, long hair, mesmerizing beauty, confidence and poise.

From the new kids on the block Deepika Padukone who today is the youth Icon, swept Bollywood with her beauty, talent, looks and style statement. Not very long after she joined the industry, Deepika has already made a mark in Bollywood with films like Om Shanti Om along side the Badshaah of Bollywood Shahrukh Khan and many more films followed suit. On the other hand, Priyanka Chopra in a matter of time made it to the top as the reigning Bollywood beauty that every girl looked up to. She is a trend setter, a show stopper, a beauty with bold attitude. She hit success at the box office with her stunning performance in Dostana and Fashion. Not at all an easy task but Priyanka proved it to the world that models are not just pretty faces. ‘Take it or leave it’, is Gul Panag’s mission statement. An individual, strong willed, sexy, daring, gutsy and truly sporty, she is applauded for her acting talent in Dor and lots more. Gul Panag said "A lot of times, because of my Miss Beauty pageant background, filmmakers thought that I won't be able to carry off an intense role and will only be suitable for singing and dancing, so it was not easy for me." From the girl who could not speak a word of hindi to a Bollywood beauty who is currently the most Googled actress, Katrina Kaif is a surprise element. With her angelic and goddess like demure, she is a drop dead gorgeous and sexy Diva. Voted the sexiest Asian woman of 2008 in a popular UK magazine, Katrina worked towards her accent, honed her acting talent and proved critics wrong with her performance in Singh is King, Yuvraaj and many other popular films that top the charts at the box office.
