Alia Bhatt as Kaira in Dear Zindagi
In Dear Zindagi, Kaira’s journey through therapy felt like a mirror. Alia brought raw honesty to a character grappling with love, career, and childhood wounds. Her struggles were familiar, and her slow path to clarity felt like a quiet reminder that healing takes time.

Sara Ali Khan as Chumki in Metro... In Dino
She’s clumsy, quirky, and quietly carrying heartbreak. Sara’s Chumki is that millennial spirit, masking pain with laughs and learning to love again. Vulnerable but never weak, she brings an old-school charm to a modern story about finding connection in a world that rarely slows down.

Shraddha Kapoor as Tinni in Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar
Tinni is messy, conflicted, and refreshingly real. She wants love, but she also needs space, a tug-of-war so many women know. Shraddha brings warmth and honesty to a character who chooses herself without apology. You may not agree with Tinni, but you’ll understand her.

Aisha (Priyanka Chopra) in Dil Dhadakne Do
Despite building a thriving business and proving her worth, PeeCee, as Aisha, was never truly seen by her own family, simply because she didn’t follow the expected path. Her story mirrors the struggles of many women who choose ambition over convention and are still made to justify their worth.

Kareena Kapoor Khan as Geet in Jab We Met
Long before relatability was cool, Kareena as Geet showed us how it’s done. Loud, messy, honest, she felt deeply and lived boldly. Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Geet wasn’t perfect, and that’s exactly why she still feels like a piece of us all.
