Freida and madhuri in India's Iconic women list

These women have it all. They are in the limelight for their beauty and bravado! From entertainment to politics, these women have made an impact on the world with their grit and grace. Who is the daring diva amongst them all? A panel of eminent men, including fashion photographer Atul Kasbekar, film director Madhur Bhandarkar, model and fitness guru Rahul Dev and author Tuhin Sinha made their choice and listed five women who've inspired millions with their neversay-die spirit.
Material girl Freida Pinto
She does not have a film pedigree, a beauty queen crown or a godfather. From being the girl-next-door, who commuted by the Mumbai local to dining with the who's who of Hollywood in the world's most expensive restaurants, Freida Pinto became the living image of how a middle-class girl attains unbelievable success overnight. The red carpet simply loves her and even though Bollywood is condescending of her, Woody Allen and other movie maestros' seem to think otherwise!

Superstar forever Madhuri Dixit
She was the superstar, the 'female Amitabh Bachchan', who quit when she felt it was the right time, and settled into family life in America. Far away from the spotlight, not showing any regrets for the glory left behind, she proved that contentment is one's own calling and cannot be dictated by any success parameter. And just when the media wrote her off as the regular housewife, shopping at hypermarkets with her children, she made a smashing comeback in a well-scripted move. Sartorial style, charisma and grace... Madhuri Dixit has proved that there's nothing wrong in wanting marriage and kids, and it's always good to have Plan B!
