Bollywood Actresses: Glam Vs De-Glam Roles
Glamour has always been associated with Bollywood. Actresses are almost always expected to look good - both on screen and off - and we are accustomed to seeing them looking like the world is their very own fashion runway. But a few A-list actresses have gone against the grain to take up roles that require them to look a LOT less than perfect. Call it, the "de-glam" which is the complete opposite of their usual super, dolled up celluloid characters. Here's a comparison of their most glam vs. de-glam roles so you can see the difference.
Kareena Kapoor Khan
We all remember Kareena for her glamorous role as Poo, in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, but who knew, she could pull off her substantially less attractive roles in the movies Dev and Omkara? In her recently released movie Udta Punjab, she plays the role of a doctor, who busts the drug racket in Punjab.

Alia Bhatt
Alia Bhatt is a talented actress who doesn't mind experimenting with her roles. After receiving rave reviews for Student of the Year, where she looked lovely, she went straight to a more disheveled look in Highway!
Rani Mukerji
She redefined "sexy" in the movie, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. But then came her outstanding performance in the movie, Black, which shut up the critics and audiences who dismissed her as just a pretty face.
Priyanka Chopra
Be it her role as Neha in Dostana or Jhilmil in Barfi, Priyanka is brilliant! She played both the characters so effortlessly, that we know Priyanka is the queen of versatility and doesn't need make-up or a fancy wardrobe to prove it.
Kangana Ranaut
It was Queen that got Kangana much-needed recognition as a bonafide actress. which she so deserved. Even after winning awards for roles in movies like Fashion and Once Upon A Time In Mumbai, Kangana was still not quite up there. In fact, Queen is the most de-glam role Kangana has ever played in her career and look what it did for her!
