The girl child should ideally be
treasured and honoured every single day. But today, January 24, is
UNICEF National Day of the Girl Child. Take a look at some lovely ladies
who have made their parents – and the nation – proud…
Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra may be rival
heroines, but they were once sweet little girls who grew up to be famous
faces in Bollywood. While there might be stark differences between them
and their work, nobody can deny the fact that they have a lot in common
– they are ambitious, hard working and gorgeous. Here’s a look at
Bollywood’s best gals who made us – and their parents – very proud
indeed!Deepika Padukone:
The first and the only heroine to create a record that no Khan, Kumar
or Khanna has managed yet. Dippy had four Rs 100 crore films last year
and is working with the best of actors and filmmakers. Salman Khan
cannot stop singing her praises and Shahrukh Khan has done three films
(counting Happy New Year) with her. The Jai Ho star
remarked at an awards function recently, “If Deepika were cast in a
documentary film, the film would still do a business of Rs 200 crore!”
That’s some compliment!
Priyanka Chopra: Daddy’s li’l princess has been taking care of mommy and little brother after her father’s passed away last year. The Exotic babe
has also walked a path that no Bollywood hero or heroine has ever
taken, and successfully. She’s now a singing sensation in the West and
B-town’s very own desi gal. The first Indian to make it to to the Guess brand ambassador list,
PeeCee is juggling films, promotions, recording studios and
international appearances. And the reel version of Mary Kom can take a
racist attack with a smile and combat it with grace and poise too!
Katrina Kaif: Not every heroine can negotiate a journey from Boom to Dhoom
– Katrina did it. She is as known for her link-ups as for her star
power. She might lack acting skills, but she more than makes up for it
as a beautiful and hardworking heroine. Her dance moves have bagged her
chartbuster numbers like Sheila ki jawaani, Chikni Chameli, Kamli and many more. And yes, she did ride solo in Yash Raj’s Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, despite having a Khan as co-star.
