5 Promising Bollywood Debutants of 2015 (Female)

Bollywood woke up to many a promising faces this year. From talented actresses to unconventional approaches, we have five really gifted ladies this year. As part of our Year Ender columns, here we present you the top 5 debutants this year…

Swastika Mukherjee: 

The Bong beauty, who’s an established star in the Bengali film industry, made a sparkling debut in the detective-mystery Detective Byomkesh Bakshi. Her sensual looks and natural acting made her an instant favourite with us. 

Bhumi Pednekar : 

When size zero is the norm for actresses, this talented actress debuted in a plus-sized role in Dum Laga ke Haisha. Her sharp dialogue delivery, self-assurance and confidence made women applaud and men take notice of her. We just can’t to see her in other projects…can you? A

Athiya Shetty: 

Perhaps the most commercial debutant on the list, Athiya made a striking entrance in Hero. Her killer jawline, evolved sartorial sense and statuesque appearance have already brought her much name and fame. For her acting chops to truly shine, she needs a power-packed movie. Producers, are you listening?  

Akshara Haasan: 
The light-eyed beauty may be unconventional in every sense, but her genes shine through. Kamal Haasan’s younger daughter is promising and also easy on the eyes. We are sure that she will go a long way in B-Town. 

Harshaali Malhotra: 

It’s not right to pit this kid against her older contemporaries, but Harshali can give all of the actresses a run for their money. Her innocent looks, expressive eyes and ability to hold her own opposite Salman Khan worked in her favour in Bajrangi Bhaijaan. The movie belonged to Bajrangi sure, but it was held together by Munni.
