These Bollywood ladies challenged the stereotypes & how!

Vidya Balan

When her contemporaries worked hard to achieve the size zero figure, Vidya Balan believed that she has the potential to conquer the world just with her talent. The mindset that an actress needs to have a drool-worthy body in order to make it big in the industry or simply be ready to face the rejection is something that has stayed constant in the industry. Vidya didn't fell prey to this social stigma. She proved that it's your talent to act matters the most and not the physique. We are proud of her!

Kareena Kapoor Khan

Haven't we heard of that belief which says an actress is no more desirable when she gets married? Kareena Kapoor proved this belief wrong. She decided to marry the love of her life Saif Ali Khan at the peak of her career and if asked whether this decision of her's has lead to any downfall in her successful career? The answer is a definite no! This stereotypical thought that only an unmarried actress can pursue a successful career in the glamour world is completely absurd. Many a time we have come across stories which say that the Bollywood divas have hidden their marital status to retain their glamorous position in the industry but Kareena did exactly the opposite and now proudly address herself as the begum of Nawab.

Deepika Padukone

After delivering back-to-back successful films, Deepika Padukone is the most accomplished actress in B-town. With glory to make her the happiest person in the world, DP does not have anything to regret about. But, despite all of this she wasn't the happy soul that she portrayed in her films. Unfortunately, she was the victim of Depression. She is not the only actress to suffer from this fear of rejection and despondency but she is the only actress to come forward and speak about it in public. A Bollywood actress who rules the industry broke the stereotype of being all smiles 24/7 and came forward and shared her experience with the entire world. She did not hide in her closet with the fear of rejection but she faced the world and fought over depression courageously.

Kalki Koechlin

The unconventional actress of Bollywood, Kalki Koechlin is one such actress who holds no fear. When other Bollywood starlets refrain from talking about feminism Kalki has gladly accepted the tag of being a feminist. She wears her thoughts on her sleeves and speaks her mind at every given instance. Feminism is her favorite subject and she deals with it efficiently. Women empowerment is something that she strives for and nothing holds her back, not even her stardom!

Sushmita Sen

Who says that being a single mother is the toughest thing to do in life? Sushmita Sen is the best example to prove this stigma wrong. At the very beginning of her career, she adopted a little angel and created headlines. After 10 years, she adopted another girl and is now a proud mother of two. She challenged the said process of getting married first and then having kids, a social norm that every woman has to follow. But well, fighting all the odds Sushmita dared to do the opposite. Hats off to her!
