Katrina, Deepika, Shraddha, Kareena,Alia and Priyanka had already became mainstream actresses with ground level popularity within 5 years of their career which is not seen in today's actresses.

Deepika debuted back in 2007 in Bollywood and still the highest paid actress in India with huge on ground popularity, like people know her as a bona fide top Bollywood actress, across different age groups.

Katrina was once the most successful actress in Bollywood with probably the highest on ground fans and admirers among her peers. Her stardom maybe questioned today but, anyone who has experienced 2006-2015 know how much of a superstar she is.

Kareena is and will always be relevant, and still going strong since 2000, she is totally a proper heroine to the general audience.

Priyanka is again someone who is going strong since decades now and still known as one of the top and highest paid actresses in India with undoubtedly huge on ground following.

Alia maybe not in the league of the above three, but is probably the only actress who is still known as a proper top actress in Bollywood by the general public who debuted after 2010.

Honestly, I feel Shraddha is only second to Katrina and Deepika for on ground fan following. She is very much loved by the general audience, even though she is not much seen in many public appearances.

All of these actresses debuted before 2010 except Alia, only Kriti and Kiara is in the league of Alia to some extent, yet they are not yet considered top actresses by the general audience.
