Every year, there are a lot of new actresses to make their debut, which brings the new fresh winds to Bollywood. These new actresses do not only give viewers unexpected experiences with their actings that were never seen before!
And today, we're going to have a look back at the 10 promising Bollywood actresses that have just debuted in 2019. Without further ado, let's have a look at the first one:
1. Ananya Pandey
Date of Birth: 1998
Ananya Pandey is the pretty daughter of the famous actor Chunky Pandey, but she doesn't need the reputation of her father to make her strike onto Bollywood. She recently spoke up on nepotism, stating that the start of her career in Bollywood is not as easy as people have thought. And even fans are trolling her for the comment, it's still great the actress has clarified her standpoint.
Nevertheless, Ananya Pandey has first come to the limelight in the B-town with the movie 'Student of the Year 2'. The movie wasn't as successful as the director Punit Malhotra has expected, but media outlets stated that Ananya Pandey has showcased her potential nevertheless. And keep in mind that Ananya is only 21 years old for now, and she still has a very bright future ahead, beginning with her new movie Khaali Peeli in 2020.
2. Tara Sutaria
Date of Birth: 1995
The co-actress of Ananya Pandey in 'Student of the Year 2' - Tara Staria - also made her Bollywood debut through the movie. However, prior to this official debut, Tara Sutaria has appeared on TV with acting for Disney India's TV series Big Bada Boom when she was only 15 years old. The young lady has turned into a beautiful mistress now, and if you look at her filmography, you'll understand why.
If you haven't heard of her name yet, Tara Sutaria is actually one of the two actresses chosen for playing Princess Jasmine in Disney's Aladdin, but didn't have the lucky of Naomi Scott. Didn't give up, the young actress finally debut in Student of the Year 2, in which Tara's acting was regarded as "perfectly put together".
Even though the movie underperformed at the India's box office, Tara Sutaria definitely made her remarkable strike!
3. Mrunal Thakur
Date of Birth: 1992
Didn't have the luxury to debut early as the two previous actresses, Mrunal Thakur had to wait until her 27th age to finally have the chance to rise. Mrunal Thakur made her first strike to Bollywood with the movie 'Super 30' co-starring Hrithik Roshan, later followed by Batla House. However, it seems that the actress has saved her luck until 2019, as both of these two movies are commercially successful.
To be more specific, Mrunal Thakur has worked as a television actress for four years from 2012 to 2016. She left some noticeable achievements there, and moved totally to acting in movies, especially her first international movie Love Sonia with the role of a trafficked girl. That explained why she has gained her success with her very first Bollywood movie, making it one of the highest-grossing Bollywood films of 2019 (generating 208 Crores INR in revenue).
4. Pranutan Bahl
Date of Birth: 1993
Pranutan Bahl has the genes of being an actress inside her blood, and it's quite surprising that not until her first Bollywood movie Notebook recently did she make her debut. Pranutan Bahl his the daughter of Mohnish Bahl and the granddaughter of Nutan Bahl, and her acting reminds people of the golden era of her grandmother.
'Notebook' is a decent movie where you can enjoy the actings of Pranutant Bahl and her counterpart Zaheer Iqbal with its humor and easy-to-watch elements. However, it was not highly reviewed by the critics and viewers due to the lack of story twists, as well as people want to see more from the granddaughter of the legendary Nutan.
Hopefully, Pranutan will get over this pressure in her next movie Helmet in 2020.
5. Ankita Lokhande
Date of Birth: 1984
Now this one might be surprising, as Ankita Lokhande is one of the most famous actresses on television. However, the 35-year-old actress actually made her Bollywood last year with the highly regarded historical movie 'Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi'.
And of course, with the amount of experience she Ankita Lokhande has gathered over her acting years, the movie is a huge success. Kangana Ranaut definitely slays with her role as the queen Rani Lakshmi Bai, but Ankita's role of the warrior Jhalkaribai also received a lot of positive reviews, marking the successful comeback of the actress after 4-years of hiatus.
Continuing with this momentum, Ankita Lokhande will strike the B-town again with her next movie in 2020 - Baaghi 3.
6. Shreya Dhanwanthary
Date of Birth: 1988
Shreya Dhanwanthary is the Telugu actress that has won a beauty contest in 2008 (Femina Miss India South 2008, to be exact), and has become a famous item girl of several jewelry brands after securing her crown. She also received her first role in the Telugu movie Josh in 2009, but her filmography is not that impressive.
Nevertheless, Shreya Dhanwanthary has made her debut in Bollywood through the crime drama Why Cheat India as the leading role, opposing Emraan Hashmi. She soon continued with The Family Man in the same year for Amazon Prime, and hopefully, the actress can keep up this pace in 2020.
7. Sahher Bambba
Date of Birth: 1999
Sahher Bambba used to live in Shimla before moving to Mumbai, and she only needs eight months to secure her first role in a Bollywood movie. And it's not the ordinary role - but also the leading role in the movie Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas last September, in which she partnered with Karan Deol. That's a huge success for a 20-year-old actress!
Apart from her love for acting that has brought Sahher Bambba to Mumbai, the actress also keeps her habit of practicing yoga and dancing every time she can, and that explains why her body looks incredibly fit on the big screen. But above all, Sahher loves acting since she was young, and has dropped college for her acting careers. We wish Sahher Bambba a fruitful year of acting in 2020 to make up for her efforts.
8. Shivaleeka Oberoi
Date of Birth: 1995
Shivaleeka Oberoi is the granddaughter of a film director Mahavir Oberoi, but it seems that her grandpa didn't leave anything for her to inspire the actress. In fact, when interviewed for her Bollywood debut movie 'Yeh Saali Aashiqui' that came out this November, the actress has stated that she has never met her grandfather, as he passed away before she was born.
However, the actress still showed her talent when she was very young. She imitates Kareena Kapoor's acting since she was five, and even though she has kept her life far away from the B-town, fate somehow still brought her and Bollywood together. She starts to love acting even more in her school days, which finally brought her this role at her 24th age. Co-starring with Shivaleeka Oberoi is Vardhan Puri - the grandson of Amrish Puri.
9. Saiee Manjrekar
Date of Birth: 1998
Saiee Manjrekar is the stunningly beautiful daughter of the actor/filmmaker Mahesh Manjrekar. Inheriting the gorgeous look as well as the acting skills from her father, Saiee Manjrekar didn't need much time to make her Bollywood debut. The third installment of the Dabangg series - Dabangg 3 marked the first time people saw Saiee's confident acting alongside Salman Khan, Arbaaz Khan and Sonakshi Sinha.
More noticeably, Saiee Manjrekar is only 21 years old at her first Bollywood movie. She has everything to start soaring in popularity right now: beautiful looks, decently toned body and the actings trained by her father. I'd not be surprised if her upcoming movies in 2020 will be commercial successes.
10. Sharmin Segal
Date of Birth: 1995
We'll cap our list today of newly debuted Bollywood actresses with Sharmin Segal - the niece of one of the most acclaimed Hindi producer/director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. 'Malaal' is the very first movie of her entire career, in which she partnered with Meezaan Jaffrey - the handsome son of Javed Jaffrey.
The movie was made with the hands of Sharmin's famous uncle, so you know that the director will create favorable conditions for his niece to shine. And Sharmin Segal did not let us and her uncle down, as her role and chemistry with her male counterpart were highly regarded by the critics.
Conclusion
That's the end of our list today of the 10 promising actresses that debut in 2019. Apart from these 10 actresses, Asha Bhat and Pooja Sawant are also the outstanding actresses that you should look for in 2020 as well.
