Top Actresses In The Popularity Stakes

The male star stakes have seen little changes in the last few years with the same names dominating the top places but its a different story as far as female leads are concerned as younger actresses like Alia Bhatt and Shraddha Kapoor have made fast inroads despite not being paired with the reigning Khans. They are the most in demand actresses in the industry at the moment. Deepika Padukone still retains top spot but the peak was Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Chennai Express and its not been the same since which huge flops like Finding Fanny and Tamasha and then there is a Bajirao Mastani where the second lead steals the show for many.


The only star who gets any mileage from a limited appreciation film like Kapoor & Sons is Alia Bhatt. In Udta Punjab, a more senior Kareena Kapoor is playing single fiddle which is another signal of the fast rise. Its a similar story for Shraddha Kapoor as a huge share in the successs of films like Aashiqui 2, Ek Villain, ABCD 2 and Baaghi, in fact barring ABCD 2 it can be said the bulk of the credit for the other films is going her way. There will be some that call it the luck factor but that will be tested with Rock On 2 because this film looks a bad sequel of a film that was not liked in the first place so if this somehow comes through the luck theory could have some validity. This rise has also coincided with reigning stars like Katrina Kaif having a very bad phase with big duds like Fitoor and Baar Baar Dekho and it remains to be seen if this downward trend can be altered. The top ten female leads in terms of the popularity stakes at present are as follows.

1. Deepika Padukone
2. Alia Bhatt
3. Shraddha Kapoor
4. Katrina Kaif
5. Anushka Sharma
6. Kareena Kapoor
7. Priyanka Chopra
8. Sonakshi Sinha
9. Kangana Ranaut
10. Parineeti Chopra

How come Shraddha is number 3? She has been just so blend onscreen. The last film I liked of her was ABCD 2.

Its quite amazing how Deepika is still at number 1 despite having no release last year. Same applies for Priyanka and Kareena that how they maintained their position.

I feel Katrina will be back to top 2 with the release of TZH and JJ.

Ok this was October last year

Few things must have changed since

Shraddha delivered 2 flops if not disasters post huge success range of Aashiqui 2 (blockbuster), Ek Villain (Super Hit), Haider, ABCD 2(Super Hit) and Baaghi - Ok Jaanu is a flop and Rock On 2 is a disaster

So she must have dropped few positions below

Anushka had hit through ADHM and Phillauri opened average so she'll climb to 3rd position, Katrina to 4th and Sharddha on 5th

Deepika had no success and Alia had 2 since then, it's likely Alia now had no.1 position post Dear Zindagi and BKD

Kangana is for sure out of top 10 with another disaster. Sonakshi if Noor is average or above will remain 7th - 8th position. Jacqueline is sure entering top 10 soon and so is Taapsee depending on their upcoming success.

Alia at number 2 in Oct 2016. She must be vying for the number one position now.

A Sonam film opens lower than a Sonakshi or Parineeti film.

Akira opened bigger than most female centric films barring, TDP, Heroine, Mary Kom and Piku

DelusioNal folks alert


Delusional you say when Katrina only delivered disasters is among the Top 5, when Parineeti hasn't released a movie since 2014, when Sonakshi only delivered flops and Deepika didn't even have a release as of 2016.

I'd say, you're the delusional one and so is the person who came up with that list.

An actors worth shouldn't only be judged by the opening of his/her movies but also by his/her line-up, his/her value as a brand ambassador and his/her visibility (social network, talk shows, news) as well as the verdict of his/her movies (BO and critics) and also the awards won.

If the person who wrote the list wanted to talk about 2016, then he/she should have based his/her listing on the data of said year.
