The Top 18 Actresses in Bollywood in 2012.
-By Pushpak Pandey
Since everyone does a top ten, top twenty or even a top twenty five list, I thought I would be a little different and do the top 18 actresses in Bollywood so far this year.
Bollywood has exploded since 2000, with films like Ghajini (2008), Dhoom 2 (2006) and Om Shanti Om (2007) being not only Indian hits, but international hits as well. This has led to some Bollywood actresses getting international attention.
So here are the 18 top Bollywood actresses so far this year....

So here are the 18 top Bollywood actresses so far this year....
Of course Katrina Kaif is the top actress on this list.
It used to be all about Aishwarya Rai, but the balance of power has shifted.
In 2009 she appeared in New York, Blue, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and De Dana Dan.
So far in 2010, she has appeared in Raajneeti, Tees Maar Khan and Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara.

2. Aishwarya Rai
Aishwarya Rai
She may not be number one anymore, but Aishwarya Rai is a solid number two.
Once hailed as "The Most Beautiful Woman in the World" Ash doesn’t seem to have the world by the horns like she once did.
Case in point, in 2009, she only appeared in one film, The Pink Panther 2, which flopped.
But in 2010, she seems to be trying to make up for that with Raavan, Raavanan, Endhiran, Guzaarish and Action Replay.

3. Kareena Kapoor
Kareena Kapoor
Kareena Kapoor may be number three, but she tried really hard in 2009.
She appeared in Luck by Chance, Billu, Kambakkht Ishq, Main Aurr Mrs Khanna, Kurbaan (which got her nominated for a Filmfare Award for Best Actress) and 3 Idiots (the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time in India).
In 2010 she has Milenge Milenge, We Are Family and Golmaal 3, with Ra.One and Agent Vinod already set for 2011.

4. Priyanka Chopra
Priyanka Chopra
Number four out of the top eighteen is the beautiful Priyanka Chopra.
Priyanka had Billu, Kaminey (for which she was nominated for a Filmfare Best Actress Award) and What's Your Raashee?.
In 2010 she has Pyaar Impossible, Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai, Anjaana Anjaani, and in 2011 she already has Saat Khoon Maaf, Alibaba Aur 41 Chor, and Don 2 - The Chase Continues set.

5. Deepika Padukone
Deepika Padukone
The winner of the 2008 Filmfare Best Female Debut Award (for Om Shanti Om) and the winner of the Star Screen Award for Most Promising Newcomer - Female (again for Om Shanti Om), Deepika Padukone, was also pretty busy in 2009.
She appeared in Chandni Chowk to China, Meow Meow, Billu (I think everyone in Bollywood was in that film), Love Aaj Kal, Main Aurr Mrs Khanna and Love 4 Ever.
2010 was another busy year with Karthik Calling Karthik, Housefull, Lafangey Parindey, Break Ke Baad and Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey.

6. Kajol
Kajol
Kajol Devgan (Mukherjee) has a slow year in 2009, only making a special appearance in Vighnaharta Shree Siddhivinayak.
But so far in 2010, she has made up for that with, My Name Is Khan, We Are Family, Toonpur Ka Superrhero and Koochie Koochie Hota Hain.
Toonpur Ka Superrhero and Koochie Koochie Hota Hain are both animated.

8. Bipasha Basu
Bipasha Basu
The gorgeous Bipasha Basu has raised her profile quite a bit in the past two years.
In 2009 she appeared in three films, Aa Dekhen Zara, All The Best: Fun Begins and Sob Choritro Kalponik.
In 2010 she has Pankh, Lamhaa, Dum Maro Dum, Aakrosh and No Problem.
Even though her workrate may not be that high, Bipasha released her fitness video "BB Love Yourself" and raised more than a few eyebrows with her New York Lotto commercial (which is awesome BTW).

9. Ayesha Takia
Ayesha Takia
Ayesha Takia Azmi was kinda quiet in 2009 with only two films (8 X 10 Tasveer and Wanted).
Though she is making up for that in 2010 with Paathshala, Ab Dilli Door Nahin, Aap Ke Liye Hum, Naughty @ Forty and Bemisaal.
Plus, she has Delhi Safari set for 2011.

Could it be...?

12. Riya Sen
Riya Sen
She loves to stir up controversy, but she really hasn’t worked that much recently.
In 2009 she had Tara Sitara, Chargesheet, Love Khichdi, Zor Lagaa Ke Haiya and Paying Guests.
But in 2010, she has only had Tere Mere Phere.
She does have Krrish 2 set for 2011 though.

13. Ameesha Patel
Ameesha Patel
Ameesha Patel (Amisha Patel) is also running kinda slow.
I couldn’t find a single film for her in 2009, two in 2010 (Run Bhola Run and Chatur Singh Two Star), and only one set for 2011, Parama Veera Chakra.

14. Sushmita Sen
Sushmita Sen
2009 was also a slow year for Sushmita Sen, with only Karma, Confessions and Holi, Do Knot Disturb and Marmayogi.
In 2010 she has No Problem, F.A.L.T.U and I Found a Groom (Dulha Mil Gaya).

15. Anushka Sharma
Anushka Sharma
Her first film, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008), got her nominated for a Star Screen Award for Most Promising Newcomer - Female, a Filmfare Best Female Debut Award and a Filmfare Best Actress Award, so I guess Anushka Sharma took 2009 off.
But Anushka came back in 2010 with Badmaash Company, Patiala House, Shaadi Mubarak and BAND BAAJA BARAAT.

16. Minissha Lamba
Minissha Lamba
The only film that Minissha Lamba has done since 2008 is Well Done Abba!
Well Done Abba! got fairly good reviews and did well at the Cannes Film Festival.
Minissha is rumored to be working on a film series called "Mysticism”.
