<p>On the occasion of International Women's Day 2024, meet some of the wonder women of Indian cinema. These women shackled the stereotypical notion that Indian cinema is a man's world to rule.&nbsp;</p>

She is the ultimate definition of global domination. Need we say more? 

From an actress proving her versatility to being a pioneering entrepreneur, she has done it all. 

At the age of 30, she is certainly an overachiever. From a talented performer to an environmentalist, an animal lover, a producer and now a supermom. 

We credit her for being the very definition of confidence, self-love and oomph. Not to forget a dutiful mommy as well. 

She has come a long way from shattering stereotypes about being just a pretty face. An evolved performer and now an owner of a leading makeup brand. 

The pioneer of laying the foundation of Indian television is none other than Ekta Kapoor. She justifies the title of TV Czarina. 

A producer, a stylist and an enigmatic entrepreneur, Rhea Kapoor is a woman of many talents. 

A filmmaker and producer whose stories have male characters who do not fit into the mould of the patriarchy are unafraid to showcase their vulnerable side. 

The daughter of legendary writer Gulzar and yesteryear actress Rakhi, Meghna's filmography is known to delve upon riveting subjects and real-life stories. 

Writer Juhi Chaturvedi is responsible for bringing unique storytelling in the forefront with movies like Piku, October and Vicky Donor. 

As an executive producer, Monga has won the Academy Awards two times for her documentaries like Elephant Whisperers and Period: The End Of Sentence. 

The daughter of director-producer BR Panthalu, she is regarded as the oldest woman cinematographer and the first female cinematographer in Asia. She has shot around 22 movies including Chinna Veedu and Paatu Padava. 

She broke the stereotype that the South Indian film industry is a man's world. Owing to her glorious filmography, she is hailed as 'Lady Superstar.' 

This super woman did not let her personal setbacks create an obstacle in her professional life. Samantha is touted to be one of the supremely successful actresses in the South Indian film industry. 

She is hailed as the Nightingale of playback music in India. This gifted singer surely has the blessings of Ma Saraswati herself.
