From Mouni Roy In Brahmastra To Vidya Balan In Ishqiya: Check Out The Greatest VAMPS Of Bollywood!

The Hindi film industry is no longer restricted to using male actors as villains. With a significant shift in stories over the years, female actors are gracing significant roles as antagonists in Hindi films and completely acing them. Female villains in Hindi films have been increasingly popular in recent years. With numerous leading female actresses taking the risk and experimenting with negative characters in films, they are demonstrating their versatility across genres by giving some of the best performances of their careers.

These female villains are the most vicious you've ever seen, their performances will make you nervous, and you'll want to detest them. Actually, the term "lady villains" is a misnomer because nothing these vampires have done can be described as ladylike; however, we are simply referring to their onscreen or reel performances, nothing personal here.

These female villains delivered spine-chilling performances that will live on in our memories for the rest of our lives!

1) Priyanka Chopra In ‘Aitraaz’

Sonia Roy, a.k.a. Priyanka Chopra, was a deceptive, selfish, and stunning femme fatale who captivated audiences with her on-screen persona. Sonia has no qualms about being power-hungry, and she pursues her aim with zeal. She's one of the villains who had us pulling for her in some scenes in a picture that was unquestionably ahead of its time and remains a cult fave to this day.

2) Urmila Matondkar In ‘Pyaar Tune Kya Kia’

Urmila Matondkar (who has long been RGV's muse) gave one of her best performances in Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya as Ria, who falls in love with a photographer played by Fardeen Khan only to discover that he is already married. Unable to accept the truth, she becomes obsessive and gradually descends into self-destruction. And her portrayal of a jealous, obsessive woman who becomes a stalker was nothing short of fantastic.

3) Mouni Roy In ‘Brahmastra’

The recently released ‘Brahmstra’ has made waves in more ways than one. However, actor Mouni Roy, who plays the antagonist Junoon in the multi-starrer film, is receiving accolades for her choice of role. This is Mouni Roy's most diverse role. Onscreen, Roy plays the Queen of Darkness. Viewers have praised her efforts on social media.

4) Vidya Balan In ‘Ishqiya’

Vidya Balan is stunning in every character she plays. In the film Ishqiya, she plays a country belle turned femme fatale who sees herself as an object to achieve her aims. Krishna is unquestionably one of Vidya's best characters to date. In Abhishek Chaubey's Ishqiya, Vidya Balan co-stars with Arshad Warsi and Naseeruddin Shah.

5) Kangana Ranaut In ‘Krrish 3'

Kangana Ranaut, the defiant Bollywood queen, has extensive filmography. The actress, who has generally worked in good roles, previously ruled a dark character named Kaya in 'Krrish 3'. Kangana's portrayal in the Hrithik Roshan-led film, created by mixing the essence of a woman and a chameleon, sparked controversy later on.
