5 Best Web Series Female Actors That Bollywood Needs to Watch Out For


With the lines finally blurring between mainstream cinema and Hindi web series; there is an ever growing audience base of niche-based content on digital platforms. Way ahead of baseless Hindi TV serials, there is no actress with layers of makeup, clichéd dialogues, or revenge plot by a snake for her lover’s death.
Popular web series actors are far more original, on point, and talented than most of the Bollywood actors, if I may say. Here is a compilation of 5 popular web series female actors that can give any Bollywood actress a run for her money (Karan Johar or Shoojit Sircar, are you reading this?) and are a delight to watch on screen:

Nidhi Singh
Tanya, love interest of Mikesh in The Permanent Roommates, is a sassy young woman ruling the world of Hindi webs series like an ace. The flamboyant girl portrayed the role of an independent Mumbai girl that lives in the urban locality and doesn’t fall for mushy romance. Both the character and the portrayals were so spot on that she went on to star in some Bollywood movies too.

Angira Dhar
Having starred in Netflix original ‘Love Per Square Feet’ and popular Hindi web series ‘Bang Baajaa Baaraat’, Angira Dhar is no unfamiliar name with Indian web series lovers. While she played the role of a conventional Indian girl looking for a fairy tale romance and her Prince Charming to sweep her off her feet; she pulled off a jittery bride’s role to the ‘T’ in the latter. Didn’t all girls relate to her in BBB?

Nidhi Bisht
That’s the beauty of Hindi web series; you don’t need a size zero figure and stereotypical looks to ace in this department. Nidhi Bisht is one such example of powerhouse of talent with her unconventional characters in the series she starred in. from Tanya’s friend in The Permanent Roommates to TVF’s Chai Sutta Chronicles; is there anything she can’t do? She pulls off comedies and serious roles with equal ease and conviction.

Aahana Kumra
Aahana Kumra has been the go-to choice for web series makers when it comes to pulling off unconventional and edgy roles as she just nails them. From “Lipstick Under My Burkha’ to ‘Official Chukyagiri’; her portrayal of strong female characters stays in your memory long after you watch them.

Kusha Kapila
Kusha Kapila is the quintessential South Delhi girl we all have met in real lives. She is hilarious, cracks impromptu jokes and nails the digs thrown at each other. From ‘Billi Maasi’ to her signature ‘Shivoham Shivoham’ prologue; I can’t think of any other Bollywood actress that can pull this off. Bollywood, are you taking note?
