Bollywood is an all-embracing industry where a diversity of arts and culture mesh together to form a beautiful blend of music and performance, on the silver screen. While almost all of these talented artisans have been born and brought up here, there are a few who belong to a lineage of some far off land, yet are making waves in Bollywood, with their natural talent. Let us take a look at some of these uniquely talented folks.

This British-Indian actress came to Bollywood and now rules hearts and box offices alike. True that her accent is still not refined and has to be justified with her role in every movie, and her acting skills are questionable. Still, we love this Indian Barbie Doll.
