what about Bipasha Basu.

people can call her what they want but the fact is she came from nowhere.

none of her family is famous, known or had connections.

she did not win any beauty titles that upped her fame

she is dusky brown and worked it

she hasnt needed to do a film with the khans do up her popularity.

she has managed to stay in bollywood despite being older than 30.

she is still cast with male leads younger than herself

she isnt a great actress but definitely defied the Odds

So what if Preity worked with Khans?

She was talented and a fresh new face so she got work with them.

I have seen firsthand what families go through when father dies untimely. In that sense Preity's achievement is fantastic. So is SRK's.

Preity is quite well spoken and has tried to diversify roles beyond just acting. She's far superior to Kangana.

Talented- so are ALia and Kareena. BUt why are they not self made atresses? That makes no sense to me. Being a self made actress has nothing to do with being an outside or insider IMO. Because at the end of the day- you are a good actress because you worked hard to be a good actresss. You have fans because your good- not because your an industry kid. So why take that away from Alia and Kareena? THe "outsiders" (Deepika, PC, and Ash) get just as many chances as the popular industry kids like bebo and ALia. Aish isn't even known for her acting but still gets film because she is gorgeous. Wow...what a struggle she had.

Only actress who has seen struggle more than others is Kangana.

How can you not call Preity,Aish,Anu or Priyanka self made? Just because two of them won a beauty contest while the other two made debut with SRK? But whatever they did it was their hardwork to get into that place. Preity and Anu must have worked hard and been talented to get debut with a Khan! It wasnt just their luck.

Priyanka and Aish also must have worked hard then they won the contests, and got recognized. They are selfmade because they were not recommended by any actor or producer. they were not star kids who without hardwork get to the industry

Yes Ranbir recommneded Alia for Highway. But he did not act and give a beautiful performance for Alia. Sorry I still consider Kareena and Alia self made actresses. If people consider Deepika, PC, and PZ and Aish self made..IMO so are kareena and ALia. That's all. That's because I don't think one group struggled more than others esp Kareena when compared to Deepika, PC, and Aish. I leave the struggle part out for Alia because she is a newbie and hasn't really experienced a career set back yet. But she still is self made actresss. That too more than Deepika IMO.

Kangana. All of them have had their share of struggles and all of them carved a pretty amazing careers for themselves. But the beauty queens, models, tv actresses and even commercial models (isn't that what Preity was before Bollywood?) had some kind of training and some kind of networking advantage that Kangana just didn't. You could not be as far removed from the world of Bollwyood as Kangana's family, she came, learned the ropes, learned English, and moved up entirely based on talent.

As for the argument that she slept her way to the top, well that argument can be made against all of them. None of them are angles or saints in Bollywood. Quite a few on this list have a history and past.

I like deepika bt she still has a long wayto go...shes getting better bt she needs more challenging roles... As of now Preity is the one who really made it...it wasnt just her pretty face and good looks, but her amazing acting even at d beginning of her career...she was brillian in dil se and kya kehna..kya kehna brot tears to my eyes... A lot of her movies have been amazing, from kal ho na ho to salam namaste to veer zara.. Amazing performances.

If i have to chose some1 second, it wud be Aish...although her paegent and salman had a big role in her success, bt she has done pretty amazing movies... Next wud be vidya, 2-3 of her roles really stood out.
