  • Priyanka Chopra Jonas transformed into Jhilmil in 'Barfi', showcasing innocence and complexity with minimal makeup.
  • Alia Bhatt's 'Highway' marked a turning point, where she embraced vulnerability and emotional intensity.
  • Anushka Sharma in 'NH10' redefined the modern heroine with grit, fearlessness, and realism.
  • Taapsee Pannu's 'Thappad' amplified her impact with a relatable, homely look, making her portrayal powerful.
