Deepika Vs Anushka: Guess Who’s The Bollywood Queen In Literal Sense!

While the race to being number one in Bollywood has become too old fashioned, analysts, pundits and fans somehow keep finding ways to compare stars and their status. When it comes to actresses in Bollywood right now, there are only a handful of few who can stake claim to be in the top five. While Alia, Anushka, Deepika and Kangana are clear entrants in the league, Katrina could perhaps be the fifth one.

Anyway, while the ambiguity to declare anybody number one would always stay in existence, we just thought we’ll compare the data of two of the top actresses today – Deepika Padukone and Anushka Sharma.

Deepika Padukone

Having started her career in 2007 with Shah Rukh Khan’s Om Shanti Om, Deepika Padukone has always found her to be in the big league. While she has always got the backing of critics, fans have also considered her one of the best in the business. Here’s her report:

Number of films: 23

Hits: 13

Flops: 10

Number of 100 crore grossers: 4

Number of 200 crore grossers: 2

Number of 300 crore grossers: 0

Brave Choices made: XXX: Return of Xander Cage, Piku, Finding Fanny

Films Produced:  0

Anushka Sharma

Anushka Sharma despite having initially agreed to do roles that did not contribute too much to her career came out quite on top later.  With streak of big hits and acclaimed performances, she has got opportunities that placed her as one of the top names in the market.

Number of films: 13

Hits: 10

Flops: 3

Number of 100 crore grossers: 2

Number of 200 crore grossers: 0

Number of 300 crore grossers: 2

Brave Choices made: Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola, NH 10, Bombay Velvet

Films Produced: 2 (Including Phillauri)

So there you have it, while both actresses have achieved phenomenally well in their own realm, they overlap each other on most counts. However, what’s common between them is their hunger to do different roles, make brave choices and experiment where they can. While Anushka turned producer with NH 10, Deepika made her Hollywood debut with Return of Xander Cage. Guess we’ll have to wait until one of them can really stake claim for being number one.
