1/7

Preeti Jhangiani

Preeti Jhangiani, with her sweet smile, was an instant hit. People loved her in the song “Chhuimui Si Tum Lagti Ho” even before she was officially in Bollywood. After 'Mohabbatein' with Yash Raj Films, she became super famous. Her simple and classy thing made her one of the most loved faces of the time.

2/7

Raageshwari Loomba

Raageshwari Loomba was like sunshine on screen—bubbly and super charming. After Aankhen, she blew up as a triple threat: actress, singer, and a 90s pop star. She played Renu in Main Khiladi Tu Anari, which just made her even more famous. With her big smile and good vibes, Raageshwari was like the happy face of 90s Bollywood.

3/7

Neelam Kothari

Neelam Kothari, with her chill beauty, was super classy back then. People loved her from 'Jawaani', and she clicked with Govinda in a bunch of movies. She had range, acting in those family movies like 'Hum Saath-Saath Hain' and stuff like Ek Ladka Ek Ladki. Neelam's cool attitude and bright smile made everyone have a crush on her.

4/7

Divya Bharti

Divya Bharti's sudden death shook the entire entertainment industry. A star gone too soon! She was one of the most successful actresses of her time. With a charismatic aura and a young talent who ruled Bollywood, Divya has a huge fanbase. Her beauty was the talk of the town. She had these striking eyes, unusual verve, and a youthful vibe that people couldn't get enough of. She was only 19 years old when she fell off her balcony and succumbed to the injuries.

5/7

Nagma

Nagma was a total powerhouse actress in the 90s – strong, sure of herself, and able to play any part. She blew up after 'Baaghi: A Rebel for Love' with Salman Khan and was awesome in Suhaag and Kadhalan (Tamil). Her eyes and the way she just took over the screen made her special, 'cause a lot of actresses back then were more quiet. People all over loved Nagma because she was so cool on screen.

With hits like 'Virasat', 'Haseena Maan Jayegi', and 'Kahin Pyaar Na Ho Jaaye', she shared the screen with biggies of Bollywood like Anil Kapoor, Salman Khan and Jackie Shroff.
