Growing age especially when you grow 30-plus can be a setback for any Bollywood actress. But that's not stopping Rani at all! The 31-year-old actress can still give young bombshells a run for their money. She is at her stunning best her latest film Dil Bole Hadippa.
Kajol, 34, drifted away from the scene after marriage, but came back with a bang with Aamir Khan in Fanaa. When she puts on her acting shoes, the actress makes a clean sweep at all the award functions. The actress is now doing Karan Johar's much-hyped film My Name Is Khan.
Preity Zinta
She also falls in the 30-plus category. Preity has been away from Bollywood for quite a long time but she is aware that to be able to make it to the league of hot young actors, she needs to stay in shape. So the actor has gone out of the way to lose extra kilos. Preity will be seen in a sexy new avatar in Salman and Kareena's next Main Aur Mrs Khanna.
Bipasha Basu
Voted the Sexiest Asian woman in 2007 by the British weekly newspaper Eastern Eye, the starlet of films like Rudraksh, No Entry, Omkara and Dhoom 2 is taking steps towards signing on for serious roles. But age is surely no bar for Bipasha as she is okay with romancing young actors like Ranbir in Bachna Ae Haseeno and Neil in Aa Dekhen Zara. Bips, who touched 30 on January 7, 2009, talks about life post 30: "I see no change. It is just a number. Yes, with each passing year you do get wiser and it has been happening to me too. I started off at the age of 17 so since then I have become wiser for sure. But not because of the 30th figure."
Lara Dutta
The sexy damsel has gone from fab to super fab. Lara's sexy avatar in Blue has become talk of the town. The 31-year-old actress has sported red-hot bikini in the film. Thumbs up to this rocking hottie in 30s!
Sushmita Sen
The 34-year-old actress hasn't had a single release in 2008 but she made more news for her affairs than her movies. Sush believes that 30s is the best time for a woman to be with herself. Taking herself as an example, the former Miss Universe says, "I have never had this kind of space for myself because I have always been in relationships. But today, I am opening up to life like never before."
Vidya Balan
The 31-year-old actress has sadly been more in news for her fashion sense than her acting skills. Milan Luthria's Bihaad with Ajay Devgan and Sanjay Dutt, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Chenab Gandhi with Big B and Harman Baweja and Vishal Bhardwaj's Ishqiya with Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi are the films she has up her sleeve.
Shilpa Shetty
Who can say this leggy lass is 30-plus? Be it the Big Brother episode or hopping on the IPL bandwagon, the 34-year-old star surely knows how to stay in news.
Mallika Sherawat
There have been countless discussions about the sex bomb's age, but Mallika refuses to admit that she is on the other side of 30. In fact, when the tabloids insisted that she is 35, the actress said in a TV interview, "You know something. I'm 45 and I have two grand kids. They inflate my ego, my success, my failure and now they've inflated my age!"
Aishwarya Rai
She is 30 plus, but Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is proving to be an ageless beauty. She's made to the sexy, hot and beautiful lists around the world many times. Ash has also been voted the most desirable woman in the world. Age hasn't deterred this woman in any way. Even after marriage to Abhishek Bachchan and at 35, she is considered piping hot!
