Four among the top actors in the industry talk about that one female actor, living or dead, whom they look up to and why?

Vivian Dsena
I really admire Rekha. She is a woman of substance, who has always led a graceful life and the way she conducts herself is exemplary. Even as an actor, her performances spelled magic on screen. Her range as an artiste is amazing; she breathes life into the characters she portrays. From Khoobsurat to Silsila, she has never failed to surprise and entertain her audience

Aly Goni
I look up to Madhubala. She was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen onscreen. She defined elegance, grace and beauty. Her expressions and performance touched a chord with the audience. Yes, her eyes said much more than words could. She was a strong woman who lived life on her own terms. I remember being mesmerised by her portrayal of Anarkali in Mughal-E-Azam. She was indeed a queen both on and off screen.

Sharad Malhotra
Sridevi was a fantastic actor and lived her life on her own terms. I feel no actor can replace her in the Indian entertainment industry. She was a complete package of looks, acting and emotions. Her grace, poise and elegance off screen are an inspiration to many. She was an actor per excellence, but above all she was a nice human being who was kind to people around her, be it at home or at work. I am a huge fan

Jasmin Bhasin
The one actor I have always admired is Sridevi. She had such a powerful screen presence. Pick any frame from any of her films and you are sure to get wowed by her grace and acting prowess. Just imagine, she started working as a child artist, has done many good films in South. Even all her Bollywood films were powerful and impactful. Apart from doing wonders in cinema, Sridevi was a loving family person. She was caring and understanding to her co-stars. I have always looked up to her and have learned so many things from just looking at her on-screen.
