Best Supporting actresses of Bollywood

  • Bipasha Basu, Bachna Ae Haseeno
    From the sweet and simple Radhika to the sexy Shreya Rathore, we simply love Bipasha Basu in Bachna Ae Haseeno, when her ex-boyfriend shows up only to apologize, Bipasha gives him a taste of his own medicine and not only makes him do her domestic chores but also makes him dance in the middle of a street!

  • Kalki Koechlin, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
    While we all love Deepika Padukone in Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, we'd be lying if we didn't mention Kalki Koechlin. The tom-boy Aditi Mehra is emotional, dreamy and yet very pragmatic and sensible when it comes to choosing her life partner.

  • Kangana Ranaut, Fashion
    We can watch Fashion again and again only to see Kangana Ranaut walk on the ramp so flawlessly. Kangana plays the role of the fierce Shonali Gujral a substance abusing supermodel whose career goes down due to drinking and unprofessional habits.

  • Parineeti Chopra, Ladies vs Ricky Bahl
    "Mei Papa ko bolti toh wo 5 star mei booking karate", one of the typical lines our energetic and lively Dimple Chadha aka Parineeti Chopra says. She makes us fall in love with her adorable character in the film.

  • Madhuri Dixit, Devdas
    The movie Devdas is incomplete without mentioning Madhuri Dixit, who plays the role of Chandramukhi, a very controversial and challenging role but the actress did manage to carry it off gracefully.

  • Kareena Kapoor, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham
    Kareena Kapoor plays the glamorous role of Pooja "Poo" Sharma in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, who can manage to wear two different sandals at the same time and call it 'aaj kal ka fashion' and still not look disastrous.

  • Supriya Pathak, Goliyon ki Raasleela Ram Leela
    No doubt Ram Leela is about Ram and Leela's love story but it takes some courage to pull off a role of Dhankor Ba of the Sanera clan who even cuts her own daughter's finger for her ideology.  We simply love Supriya Pathak's exceptional work in the film.

  • Everyone sure does love the main characters of a film but sometimes it is the supporting cast who steal the show. Here is a list of our favorite actresses in supporting roles.

    Kirron Kher, in almost all her films

    Honestly, we simply love Kirron Kher's acting skills, and how she manages to carry out every role so perfectly. Be it the melodramatic mummy in Dostana to the chic Dolly Aunty in Kambaqqat Ishq, she simply makes us fall in love with her character time and again.
