Who is the most versatile actress in Bollywood?

 Versatile actress is one who could do different genres, roles and characters effortlessly. Even though we have many great actors most of them are relegated to particular kind of roles.

Sridevi was one such actress who could serious roles like Sadma, Jaag Utha Insan, comedy roles like Chalbaaz, romantic roles like Chandni, Lamhe, mature roles like English Vinglish and Mom and even glamorous dancing roles all effortlessly. She was an effortless performance with great screen presence and timing.

Tabu Another actress who has done array of roles in her career not merely serious films like Chandni Bar, Astitiva, Maachis, Virasat or Hu Tu Tu but also comedies like Chachi 420 or Hera Pheri or Sajan chale Sasural. She has done rom coms like Cheeni Kum, dark comedies Andhadhun, Crew etc. She has done all kinds of roles in all kinds of movies from Shakespearean dramas like Haider, Maqbool to mass masala movies.

Kangana Ranaut No matter how much I hate her for her balbber mouth I think she is a terrific actress who could do any type of role with great commitment and honesty from Queen to Tanu Weds Manu and TWMR, Manikarnika, Judgemental hai Kya, Panga etc. Even when her box office appeal is next to nothing her commitment to her roles is exemplary..
