Bollywood has come a long way since it made its first film. Things have changed from scripts, music, and technology to actors’ openness to do bold scenes for the Indian film industry. Gone are the days when the top actresses of the Indian film industry used to get anxious about going bold on screen. Talking of Bollywood’s actresses, surely the days of coy, reserved female leads are far behind.
For people wondering if Bollywood isn’t bold enough, think twice, as we are here to explore some of the hottest personalities in this big Indian film industry who have shed it all to make their presence more appealing.
Here, we look at topless Bollywood actresses who were unabashed about shedding those superficial layers.
Shriya Saran
Shriya Saran is the sex symbol of the South Indian film industry. She did a bare act for a magazine cover.
Anu Agarwal
Most of us remember Anu Agarwal as a one-hit-wonder playing the sweet orphaned girl in Aashiqui. However, she wasn’t particularly a ‘one-hit-wonder’ per se. The actress did try her best to leave a mark in the industry but didn’t find much luck. During those conformist years, she partook in a short Indo-German film, The Cloud Door, that required her to go topless for a scene, and the actress braved it in the hope of some fame.
Kashmira Shah
Call it Kashmira Shah’s gimmick or something genuine, the almost forgotten actress did a complete calendar with one of the pictures featuring her topless.
Esha Gupta
Esha Gupta gained popularity after winning the title of Miss India International in 2007. She made her debut in Jannat 2 alongside Emraan Hashmi. In the movie, Esha shares sensual and titillating lip-locks with Emraan. In the scene, Esha has to strip at a party, where she gets frightened of being attacked by a swarm of cockroaches.
Bruna Abdullah
The Brazilian-Indian hottie Bruna Abdullah was posing topless for the Kingfisher calendar.

She has done some steamy scenes in the movie ‘Saheb Biwi and Gangster’ where she played the role of a lady who is sexually frustrated in both parts of the movie.
Veena Malik
We are so in love with Pakistani actresses that we have included one on this list. Veena Malik hails from our neighbouring country and has made every head turn whenever she comes on screen with her bold body and speeches. She has gone topless on multiple occasions, which includes nude photoshoots. She portrayed a prostitute in a movie called ‘Zindagi 50-50’ and was seen in a topless mode in the movie.

We are sure every one of you has seen the movie ‘Julie.’ If you don’t remember who the actress was, who was lying in bed naked with a sheet on her body barely covering her hips, she is none other than Neha Dhupia. She raised the sexual curiosity of the public by going nude completely on screen in this movie. We assure you won’t want to miss out on this movie.

The moment she appeared in Playboy Magazine completely nude, everyone went crazy. She got a lead role in the Kamasutra movie, wherein she was seen completely naked and showing her assets confidently. She portrayed a seductive goddess in the movie, making her fans go wild.
Udita Goswami
Udita became the love of all the Bollywood fans when she first appeared on screen. Udita and Emraan left the audience awestruck by their performance in the movie Zeher, which came out in 2015. In a scene, Udita is seen seducing the romance king Emraan with a strip tease, and the audience keeps begging for something more. She is definitely among the list of actresses to check out.
Sonali Raut
Sonali was seen in the movie Xpose, and she didn’t consider exposing it all. Surely, people won’t remember the movie, but they will remember Sonali for her on-screen appearance in a white saree. The outfit seems inspired by Mandakini, and her slim body makes it more appealing to everyone.

Being Bold and beautiful is what defines the Bengali girls. Paoli started her career with a Bengali daily soap and soon was seen in a topless avatar in one of the Bollywood movie posters.
