"1. Madhuri Dixit

India's sweetheart.

Madhuri Dixit is the actress, an all-time chimera of the quintessential Bollywood heroine. From danseuse to dunce, from dreamy to droll, from Dayavan to dhak-dhak -- not just did she excel, but armed with that mega smile, she ruled over the nation with absolute power.

Miss Dixit really broke onto the scene with 1988's Tezaab, the film establishing a few simple truths -- India had flipped for the Ding-dong-ding dance, Madhuri looked good with Anil Kapoor, and the lady sure could act. Then came a spate of films cashing in on that formula: hit musicians creating songs the Kathak dancer would give her own twist to, the everpresent Anil Kapoor and a meaty part for Madhuri. And while this string ran with great glee, soon it was apparent that the only key ingredient in the mix was Dixit herself.

Like Julia Roberts, Madhuri's box office appeal is universally contagious. Bollywood's highest paid actress, she was the first to charge prices equivalent, and even eclipsing, the top heroes; it is currently rumoured that fees for her comeback feature are astronomical. Either way, it's a terrific investment. Madhuri's films have enjoyed enormous appeal, even without mainline heroes, with audiences readily queuing up to see just the superstar on screen."

"7. Sridevi

Yet another of our landmark actresses to hail from the South, Sridevi got her first big break with the Tamil smash hit, Moondru Mudichu -- also one of Rajnikanth's early successes. Then came several films with both Rajni and Kamal Haasan, the Tamil cinema megastars, besides making great inroads into Telugu cinema as well.

Then came Bollywood's turn. Her second film, Himmatwala, was a superhit, earning her the dubious nickname Thunder Thighs. But the Indian male was more than interested, as Sridevi became a sudden, immediate star. Critical favourite Sadma established her as a capable actress, and she went on to star in several hits, largely through the 1980s.

Check out the Women's Day Special

Films like Mr India, Chandni and Lamhe show off her exquisite comic timing, her strength with emotions, her fierce and expressive eyes. Not to mention the fact that she was one of the best dancers in the biz.

She remains a great Bollywood influence ever since, with Shah Rukh Khan acting in the outlandish 1996 film Army, just for a shot at working with Sri."

rekha, is the ultimate beauty, the best actress bollywood has and will ever see,

Dear Respectable,
All the above mentioned actresses are beautiful in their own context. Every girl has a age and era of her beauty and admiration. We must admire all instead of criticizing.

There is only one answer SRIDEVI.

No other actress comes close to the kind of power Sridevi had at her peak.

Sridevi was the undisputed No 1 for more than ten years. NO OTHER actress has this distinction. Madhuri inherited Sridevi's throne but could not hold on to it. Khalid Mohammad Editor of Filmfare in the 90s always asked her how she manged to rule for so long. Even the 2010 Zoom Bollywood Biographies on Sridevi introduced her as FIRST FEMALE SUPERSTAR and STILL NUMBER ONE. Do you see? That's her aura.

Sridevi was far more versatile than any other actress. Only she could have done both a Sadma and a Chaalbaaz. That was her range. In fact Stardust openly said in one of their Power Lists that Madhuri ''tends to copy Sridevi a lot.'' When Filmfare brought out their recent edition of 80 ICONIC PERFORMANCES OF BOLLYWOOD, Sridevi was the topmost among actresses for Chaalbaaz. High above every other heroine. That's her talent.

Scripts were written keeping her in mind unlike any other actress of her time. Which other actress has a 'Sadma', 'Nagina', 'Chandni', 'Chaalbaaz', 'Lamhe', 'Gumrah', 'Laadla' or 'Judaai' to her credit? All these films revolved around Sridevi. She was the protagonist, not the male actor. Only she could demand a double role and get it. Only she could demand a price equal or even more than her hero and got it.

Look at all the epithets she earned. FEMALE AMITABH, ONE WOMAN INDUSTRY, LAST EMPRESS. Amitabh had to woo her to get her in Khuda Gawah. Even Steven Spielberg wanted her for Jurassic Park. Shekhar Kapur called her the best actress ever. Yash Chopra said 'Madhuri and Juhi are good but Sridevi is a legend.' Mahesh Bhatt has said 'There are only two great actresses - Shabana and Sridevi.' Sushmita Sen has said on record that when she joined the industry told her 'That Sridevi was the only hero in Bollywwod. When she was in the film nobody asked who the hero was.'

Her Chandni brought back the trend of heroine oriented films. It brought back music and glamour. Her white Chandni Look became a rage all over India. No wonder everyone from Karisma to Juhi to Kajol to Manisha to Priety to Rani to Kareena to Manish Malhotra to Karan Johar worship the DEVI.

SRIDEVI will always be the BEST EVER. You cannot change history.

Whatever had many times been said about Sridevi since mis 80s, this funny media and manipulators used exactly the same words and titles of Madhuri. I don't know why could not they come up with something new instead of stealing Sridevi's praises and titles like Sridevi was clearly known as the Female Amitabh Bachchan. You can refer to comments by Harmesh Malhotra and Keerti Kumar in late 80s and that Sridevi was the first actress to have eclipsed her heroes and heighest paid ..even more than her heroes. Rediff has no authanticity is just proven here from the introduction of Madhuri here which hardly has any truth.
