Leading Ladies To Watch Out For: Kriti Sanon, Sara Ali Khan, Kiara Advani, Ananya Panday Are Here To Steal Your Heart

While Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez and Kangana Ranaut stay on to be hot favorites when it comes to bringing on the glamour quotient, Alia Bhatt and Shraddha Kapoor have joined the ranks too in years to follow. Meanwhile, there has been an entirely new breed of leading ladies who have burst into the scene and are seeing their fan base, especially amongst the men folk, see a massive increase in the recent times. Let's take a look.

Sara Ali Khan

In Kedarnath, she was seen as a simple girl next door and ended up winning the hearts of many with her rather mature act. However, what made a huge difference was her 'Aankh Maare' act in Simmba that ensured that she was high on the list of teenagers as well as youngsters alike. Sara Ali Khan is fast gaining a huge fan base and it should only rise further with Valentine's Day release #AajKal with Kartik Aaryan

Janhvi Kapoor

Just one film old, Janhvi Kapoor was noticed in a big way when she appeared as a teenager in her debut film Dhadak. Seen in a non-glam part, it was the believability factor of her persona that worked in her favor. Off screen, she has been making quite some fashion statement and one now waits to see how she entices youth further when she different roles for Roohi-Afza, Dostana 2 and Gunjan Saxena.

Kriti Sanon

Kriti Sanon made quite a few hearts skip a beat when she made her debut with Heropanti. Ever since then she has seen only one flop in Raabta while winning accolades with her looks, performance and of course song-n-dance acts in films like Bareilly Ki Barfi and Luka Chuppi. Fast gaining popularity amongst kids as well as youngsters, Kriti has already delivered a biggie in Housefull 4 and would next be seen in Panipat.

Kiara Advani

Not many are aware that Kiara Advani made her big screen debut with ensemble starrer Fugly. She won a few hearts with a brief role in M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story but it was her 'Mast Mast' act in Machine that did the trick. Kabir Singh and A Lust Stories later, Kiara Advani has seen a complete turnaround in her career and next up is Good Newwz which is her biggie indeed with Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.

Ananya Pandey

She was the best thing about Student of the Year 2 and was alternatively cute, sexy, naughty and endearing. This is just the kind of perfect combination put together to entice teenagers and youngsters, and that is exactly what happened when Ananya Pandey came on screen. Next up, she would be seen opposite Kartik Aaryan where she is 'woh' in Pati Patni aur Woh.

Tara Sutaria

Disney girl Tara Sutaria looked ultra glam and gorgeous in many portions of Student of the Year 2 and was especially stunning when it came to song-n-dance sequences. Though her patchy characterization didn't allow her to cover much of a distance, it has changed with Marjaavaan where she is paired opposite Sidharth Malhotra. She has already been appreciated for her performance in the film.

Disha Patani

Talk Disha Patani and you whisper 'stunning and gorgeous' under your breath. Disha Patani is riding up the ladder of stardom and has already accumulated huge fan base and admirers, especially due to her social media stint where she is a top celebrity. She was particularly enticing in her 'saree' avtar in 'Slow Motion' [Bharat] and that only added on to moans and sighs. Soon enough, she would be seen in Malaal.

Kriti Kharbanda

Sometimes, it is just the plain and simple Indian look that does the trick. This is what worked in the favor of Kriti Kharbanda who featured in a few Hindi films after a successful stint down South but was noticed most in Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana. There was a difference of the naturally beautiful actress that was seen in Housefull 4 and now with Paagalpanti she has got into an altogether cute and sweet avatar.

Sanjana Sanghi

She had small but notable parts to play in Rockstar, Hindi Medium and Fukrey Returns during her growing up years. Though that didn't make her an instant nationwide sensation, the industry was noticing her while young fans too were acknowledging her presence. Well, that should now take mammoth proportion when she makes her leading lady debut in Dil Bechara.

Alaia Furniturewalla

Newest kid on the block, not much has been seen or heard about Alaia Furniturewalla amongst 'aam junta'. However, the gorgeous beauty (who is daughter of yesteryear model and actress Pooja Bedi) should make heads turn instantly when she features in Jawaani Jaaneman where she has Saif Ali Khan playing her dad. Stay tuned as she could well be the talk of the town.
