Directors and their favourite actress

We all have our favourite actresses, the ones that make the movies seem real to us. But do the directors of Bollywood see their favourite actresses differently? We ask our star directors who their favourites and why:


Ashutosh Gowriker

Madhubala: Who doesn’t like her? Her beauty was natural. Her smile, that ada… anyone will go mad about her. In those days she was the only actress who carried off comedy films too.

Jaya Bachchan: She was simple and beautiful, and proved her acting ability in many films like Guddi, Bawarchi, Piya Ka Ghar. Koshish was her best film ever. She was totally different from other actresses and that’s what I like in her.

Madhuri Dixit](http://fanclub.starboxoffice.com/FanClub.aspx?cid=137): I have watched her all films. Her face can speak a million words. She danced well too. She had sex appeal but never used it in. Her smile was her charm.

Mumtaz: She had the Bollywood heroine kind of face, which might say: ‘ek ada pe sab mar jaye’.

Nutan: She made acting look like child’s play. Unarguably the most enchanting and engaging actress on screen. Excellent both in tough films like Sujata, Seema, Bandini and light films like *Paying Guest *and Tere Ghar Ke Samne.

Sridevi: She is not only beautiful, she has great sex appeal. And great range. Chaalbaaz and Gumraah are different genres but she was unbelievable in both.


Tarun Mansukhani

Madhuri Dixit](http://fanclub.starboxoffice.com/FanClub.aspx?cid=137): One of my favourite actresses. She has a million dollar smile which drives one crazy.

Kajol](http://fanclub.starboxoffice.com/FanClub.aspx?cid=63): Kajol is the kind of actress who can do anything she wants. She has the power, the talent, and the best hit ratio of recent times.

Priyanka Chopra](http://fanclub.starboxoffice.com/FanClub.aspx?cid=12): One of the best actresses from the current lot. She has now started doing more complex roles, and she is a beauty with brains.


Rakesh Roshan

Nutan : Her work speaks for her. She was not the glamour doll and yet she was so popular.

Rekha: She was one of the best co-stars I ever worked with. She could carry comedy and serious roles off at the same time. She is so beautiful even today and carries herself so well.

Madhuri Dixit](http://fanclub.starboxoffice.com/FanClub.aspx?cid=137): I like her and always wanted to work with her but by the time she came I was old. And now I really want to make a film with her.


Anurag Kashyap

Nargis: Mother India was recognised internationally, so we can imagine her acting talent. She was enigmatic and charismatic. She was ahead of her time. She had the western look and would have been perfect for any Hollywood film of her day.

http://www.dishant.com/gallery/Waheeda%20Rehman/waheeda_guide01.jpg

Waheeda Rahman: A classic actress who knew which role she could enact perfectly. When it came to elegance, she was peerless.

Tabu: While other actresses only pretend to act, Tabu is up there with the finished product. Maachis, Chandni Bar, Astitva all have shown her in different ways. She really portrays sex well because it comes from her acting rather than doing bold scenes.


Kunal Kohli

Meena Kumari: The queen of emotions, a classic actress and cult figure.

Juhi Chawla : The girl next door who concentrated on her acting and work. I haven’t seen another actress so comfortable doing comedy.

http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/2976/kkhh081yk5wd9zr.jpg

Kajol: You know you are a good human being when it shows on your face, and there is a positive energy in Kajol. I worked with her in Fanaa and she is a wonderful actress who delivers her best in every shot.


Kabir Khan

Waheeda Rehman: I was in love with Waheeda ji. She is the classic Indian beauty.

Rekha: Her boldness and sexiness has made everyone crazy about her so why should I be left out?

Dimple Kapadia: Bold and the beautiful, she became an icon at 15.

Re: Directors and their favourite actress

I love Kajol, always thought there was an earthy attractiveness to her. And she has a natural and casual style of acting...not over-the-top or trying too hard.
