Priyanks’s role of Kashibai’s character was felt by all the audiences. Her brilliant performance put Deepika’s role far behind.


Anushka Sharma in Jab Tak Hai Jaan

Katrina Kaif was the lead role of this movie, opposite Shah Rukh Khan. However, Anushka’s supporting role of Akira, who is a documentary filmmaker, stole the limelight from Katrina’s lead role.

Parineeti Chopra in Ladies vs Ricky Bhal

Parineeti’s debut in the industry was in 2011 with Ladies vs Rick Bhal. She played the supporting character of Dimple Chadda. Her bubbly and cure presence left an impression every time she came on the screen, which left Anushka’s role a bit behind who was the main lead.
