Top 5 Highest Paid Bollywood Actresses

However, this gorgeously talented actress is not stopping at Bollywood. She is currently shooting for her Hollywood debut alongside Vin Diesel in “xXx: Return of Xander Cage.” Padukone also is featured in endorsement deals from Tanishq jewelry and Vistara, not to mention her own label, “All About You” for the Indian online shopping website, Myntra. This woman is clearly astounding and headed straight for that glass ceiling!
