10 Tallest Actresses In Bollywood Who Are Blessed With a Great Height.

The tallest actress ever in Bollywood is the former Miss World, Yukta Mookhey who won the title in 1999 is considered Bollywood's tallest actress. With a height of just below six feet, Yukta made her screen debut in a Kollywood item number in the 2001 Ajith Kumar and Jyothika starrer Poovellam Un Vasam which was directed by Ezhil. She made her Bollywood debut in 2002 opposite Zulfi Syed and Aftab Shivdasani in Pyaasa which bombed badly. She later acted in two films namely, Memsahab and Love in Japan but called it quits and married a New York-based businessman in 2006.

The former Miss Universe who is said to be the one to have set the trend has often been ridiculed as well as complimented for her height. Standing tall as per Indian standards at a good 5 feet 10 and a half inches, Sushmita has been a woman of substance who may have made a disastrous debut in Dastak in 1996 but fought against all odds to come up with some commendable work in films like Biwi No.1, Filhaal, Main Hoon Na, etc. She is a single mother who has adopted two girls.

Though just two films old and may not look so tall on screen, Diana Penty does measure 178 cms in real life and is currently the tallest heroine in bollywood. Making her debut opposite Saif Ali Khan in Cocktail in 2012, she took a sabbatical of nearly four years before she appeared in the recently released Happy Bhag Jayegi.

This leggy lasso who recently got hitched stands at a good 5 feet 10 inches who stands jointly at the second place with Diana Penty. Lisa started off as a model and later turned to acting in Bollywood when she made her debut in 2010 with the Sonam Kapoor starrer Aisha and thereafter appeared in films like Queen, The Shaukeens, Housefull 3 and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.

Yes, Sonam Kapoor, the Neerja actress does measure five feet nine and a half inches though she might look taller on screen due to her lean frame. The fashionista does carry herself well on and off the screen for she has come a long way since her disastrous debut opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Saawariya in 2007.

The model turned actress, Mugdha Godse too makes it to the list of Bollywood’s 10 tallest actresses. She was a semi-finalist at the Femina Miss India 2004 competition after which she appeared in a whole lot of commercials where she was spotted by director Madhur Bhandarkar who gave her a break in the 2008 film, Fashion.

On screen, she may not look the height but Nargis Fakhri does measure a cool five feet nine inches in real life. The Banjo actress who made her screen debut opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Rockstar in 2011 may need to work on her acting skills before she is forgotten as a decorative piece.

This might be a surprise but yes, Anushka does make the List of Tallest Bollywood Actresses . Measuring five feet and nine inches, the Sultan actress has become one of Bollywood’s top notch actresses in a short span of time since making her screen debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Aditya Chopra’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi in 2008.

Karishma Tanna became more famous for her height than her roles in daily TV soaps and a few reality shows including Bigg Boss. She got her first big break in Bollywood in 2005 in the film Dosti: Friends Forever where she played a small role but eventually got noticed in Indra Kumar’s adult comedy Grand Masti opposite Vivek Oberoi in 2013. She is currently juggling her career between TV and Bollywood.

This may not come as a surprise to many as Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone share the same height. Deepika Padukone, who has carved a niche for herself in a short span of less than a decade has always been complimented for her athletic body and lean frame whereas Katrina continues to look stunning on screen despite a few duds off late. Both the actresses have used their heights to their advantages despite being cast a few times opposite shorter heroes.
