6. Supriya Vinod

7. Flora Jacob
The actress rose to prominence after starring alongside Ajay Devgn and Ileana D'Cruz in Raj Kumar Gupta's 2018 film Raid as the country's first Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Her appearance was vital to the plot, which was based on events in the early 1980s, despite its briefness. In Kangana Ranaut's Thalaivi, a biopic on Tamil Nadu's late Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa, Flora Jacob will play Indira Gandhi.
8. Navni Parihar

Her involvement in the plot, which was based on events that occurred during the 1971 Indo-Pak war, was all the more essential.
