Most popular BW actresses since the 1980s - Page 2

I agree with this article with some exceptions!! Yes madz/sridevi era was the longest and they ruled a long time..now a days its tough..though juhi/kajol/karishma era trued and Preity era was good too..since then its blah..and changes based on one big hit and you become huge as happened with Kareena, yes she was around a long time but a jab we met got her the big spot plus rani/preity were outta the game as rani started to lose stream and preity ad ipl, but Kareena got competition because katrina was getting hits and then recently deepika got some and took the spot, now coming to this year it depends ...so yes madz/sridevi era was extraordinary!!

• Will Sridevi/Madhuri remain the last genuine female superstars of Bollywood?

-Yes! So Far it seems like no can come closer to Sridevi/Madhuri, now be it superstardom/ talent or anything! Sridevi and Madhuri are SHEER PERFECTION! ⭐️

Best Actress, Best Dancers, Best Lookers, Best Performers and everything about them is BEST! 👏 Nowadays we have good actresses, but they lack ATLEAST something and far from being PERFECT like Sridevi/ Madhuri! Madhuri is the last empress of Bollywood and i see no such potential in anyone else so far.

Kangana has the potential, but it's too early to say! Still she has a LONG way to go.

also others lack what sridevi or madhuri had is both were classically brilliant dancers, which was a requirement for traditional queen of bollywood, nowadays you don't get them, maybe ash came close interms of traditional beauty, dance and acting she was ok

I really hate when people elevate Sridevi and Madhuri and discount others.

There have been many actresses after Sri/Madhuri, who have delivered stronger acting performances, who are better looking, who have danced better, and who have achieved higher levels in popularity.

I can understand Sri/Madhuri are icons, but that doesn't mean everyone after them are "losers. There are lots of things that some of the other actresses have achieved that Sri/Madhuri haven't. It works both ways.

I do NOT understand that WHY Raveena has alway been ignored in such discussions.
It was TOTALLY UNFAIR to see the names of likes of preity and karishma and missing Raveena... she was as talented, successful & popular as preity and karishma were , and not to mention much more beautiful & charismatic then both of them combined.

I cant figure out this mystery of ignoring Raveena religiously in such articles.

I really miss Rani and Preity onscreen. :(

I miss Kajol, Karishma, and Preity on screen :(

The era of female superstars in Bollywood seems to have come to an end, unfortunately.

Why are Manisha and Urmila not mentioned? They are so underrated even after giving great movies like Bombay, Khamoshi, Dil Se, Rangeela, Satya, Bhoot...
