2. Anjali in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai

4. Jaya in Laapataa Ladies
Kiran Rao’s Laapataa Ladies delves into several important themes, establishing it as a standout film in contemporary cinema.

Zoya Akhtar’s Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is another movie that continues to enjoy massive popularity. Led by Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, and Abhay Deol, the movie is celebrated for its storytelling. Nevertheless, can we just take a moment to appreciate the character of Laila, played by Katrina Kaif? She was a strong and independent woman who made us realize that having a free-spirited outlook toward life is what adds vibrancy to it.
