These girls are no damsels in distress. They can pack a mean wallop without messing their make-up at all. And what tells them apart from scores of action babes is that these women are warriors.
Watch Aishwarya Rai Bachchan do her thing in The Last Legion and you’ll know what we’re talking about. It was fun to watch Ash as Mira, a Kalaripayatu expert from Kerala, rub shoulders with Hollywood stars like Colin Firth and Ben Kingsley. What was our sexy warrior’s weapon of choice? A knife with hidden compartments for two extra blades. Her warrior training came to good use later as well -- when she sparred with Hrithik Roshan in the grand Jodhaa-Akbar.
Priyanka Chopra in Drona
This mystical movie -- featuring Abhishek Bachchan as young superhero in the making -- may have been a dud but Priyanka, as his sexy bodyguard, made up for it.
Kareena Kapoor in Ashoka
Before she went size-zero, Kareena was convincing as the lovely tattooed princess Kaurwaki in this stylishly shot 2001 film by Santosh Sivan. Shah Rukh Khan’s King Asoka obviously couldn’t help but fall in love!
Deepika Padukone in Chandni Chowk To China
Ranbir Kapoor better watch out. His leggy lady love can kick some serious butt -- especially in CC2C -- like nobody’s business. And that too in her heels. Meow!
Bipasha Basu in Ashoka (under production)
Okay, so this isn’t out yet. But Bips playing a warrior princess is something we wouldn’t want to miss. The Bengali bombshell is playing Kaurwaki -- earlier played by Kareena -- in Santosh Sivan’s next.
Celina Jaitley in The Quest of Sheherzade (under production)
IMDB.com describes Celina’s next film as a ’modern take on the legendary 1001 Arabian Nights tale centering on an Indian woman living in New Zealand, and caught up in a cross-cultural romance.’ Will Celina put down her violin to pack a solid punch? Lets wait and watch.
