There is no doubt that the Indian Film Industry has produced few of the most talented and gorgeous beauty queens who have dominated the pageant world for years. These women are the emblematic examples of beauty, character, grace, confidence and credence. For India, when Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Sushmita Sen won the titles of Miss World and Miss Universe in the same year, it was a memory of a lifetime. The next win was in the year 2000 again as history recreated itself with Priyanka Chopra and Lara Dutta bringing home the coveted crowns of Miss World and Miss Universe respectively. 

In this decade too, Bollywood has the potential to provide the next big faces in the pageant world. Below is the list of Top 5 Indian beauties from Bollywood who could have won if they participated – 

1. Deepika Padukone

Standing 174 cm tall, Deepika Padukone definitely is our first pick for the Top 5. Before becoming the highest paid actress in Bollywood, Deepika started her career as a model. Sadly, she did not participate in any beauty pageant. With her athlete body and dimpling smile, there is no doubt that she could have won any beauty pageant if she participated.

2. Diana Penty

Diana Penty, with her girl next door face, is also a remarkable choice for our Top 5 list. She completed her education from St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai and began her career in the Indian Film Industry as a part- time model. 

While her 178 cm tall frame could have been an added bonus to her personality if she ever participated in a beauty pageant, her alluring charm would have definitely dazed the jury and the audience. 

3. Kriti Sanon

Just at the age of 27, Kriti Sanon has created her own empire in the Indian Film Industry. She is the epitome of simplicity and one of the most favourite actresses to work with by the acclaimed designers of India. 

There is no doubt that with her 173 cm tall frame and ravishing personality, Kriti Sanon would have stood out amongst the crowd at any beauty pageant.

4. Vani Kapoor

Vani Kapoor, a 29-year-old actress and model, is definitely the extrovert of our list. The bubbly and ever so lively diva has achieved a great deal in the short span of time that she has been in Bollywood. At 173 cm, she towers over most of the young talented actresses with her unique style statements and impulsive personality. Well, do we need to say more? 

5. Lisa Haydon 

Last but not the least, Lisa Haydon, the supermodel of India, is definitely our strongest contender of all. Lisa is the mentor at India’s Top Model, a TV reality-show that selects the best models in India and tutors them to work in the Fashion Industry.

In our opinion, the 178 cm tall mother of one could have won any pageant if she participated with her idiosyncrasy and the most distinct fashion style.
