Priyanka Chopra No1 Actress in Bollywood: With enviable price tags and impressive projects, Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif are eyeing that No 1 slot.

The two actresses may have put their animosity to rest at an awards function, but professionally, it’s still war between Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor for the top slot. Often the top contenders for big-budget films, they both currently have close to Rs 150 crore riding on them. However, the two aren’t the only ones competing for the top slot — Katrina Kaif completes the troika. “If the three Khans — Aamir, Salman and Shah Rukh — comprise the Holy Trinity among actors, these three ladies enjoy a similar standing among actresses,” asserts industry analyst Taran Adarsh.

Statistics back up Adarsh’s statement. Kapoor is already boasting about her line-up with five Khans this year, which includes Imran and her boyfriend Saif. Kaif enjoys the reputation of a lucky mascot for filmmakers such as David Dhawan and Vipul Shah, who work with her repeatedly. Chopra, on the other hand, has honed her skills over the years to emerge as the favourite for character-driven roles, such as Vishal Bhardwaj’s Kaminey and 7 Khoon Maaf or Madhur Bhandarkar’s Fashion.
