The Top Ten Bollywood Actresses for April 2010

I haven’t done a top ten Bollywood actresses here in awhile, and I thought I'd do one, because when I looked for who was searched for the most on this blog, I was really shocked.
I expected Katrina Kaif, Kajol, Priyanka Chopra, Madhuri Dixit at the top, but that wasn't the case.

So here are the top ten most searched for Bollywood women on this blog recently....

1. Kiran Rathod
Yes coming in at number one was a lady that was a total surprise to me, Kiran Rathod.
This Bollywood and Kollywood actress is a lot more popular than I thought.

2. Lara Dutta

3. Zeenat Aman
Yes, yesteryear star Zeenat Aman came in at three, showing tradition is alive and well in Bollywood.

4. Riya Sen
Indian film actress and model Riya Sen came in at number four.

Indian actress and the 2001 Femina Miss India Universe winner, Celina Jaitley came in at number five.

6. Sayali Bhagat
Indian actress and 2004 Femina Miss India Sayali Bhagat came in at number six.

7. Priyanka Chopra
Coming in at number seven is a lady I expected to see much further up the list, Indian actress and former Miss World Priyanka Chopra.
8. Lisa Ray
The number eight lady on the list is a woman that recently beat cancer, and is going back to acting, Lisa Ray.

And finally, rounding out the top ten is a lady who is not actively acting anymore (but is evidently still popular), Mandakini.
