Celebrating Comedy Queens: Indian Actresses Who Excel in Humorous Roles
Juhi Chawla in Ishq

Among her peers, Sabitri Chatterjee was a highly recognized figure. Her aura on TV undoubtedly helped Sabitri captivate the general public. The actress has appeared in some of the most well-known comedies in Bengali film, such as Mouchak, Dhanni Meye, and Bhranti Bilas. Her looks are really precious. None of her peers were able to consistently and skillfully play comedic roles as well as she did. She had a mischievous charm and had a mischievous sparkle in her eyes that showed through in many personas. Which Indian actress—from the past or present—has a good sense of humor?23 April)

Juhi Chawla is an actress who, in my opinion, consistently executes comedic timing flawlessly. She has done so many comedic films that it is difficult for me to list them all. Juhi has risen to the top of the comedy game thanks to roles in films like Eena Meena Deeka, Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke, Ishq, Duplicate, Yes Boss, Mr. and Mrs. Khiladi, Aamdani Atthanni Kharcha Rupaiya, and many more.

Dayita Chakraborty

With her effortless charm and flawless comedic timing, Tabu is a shining example of genius in the comedy genre of Indian cinema. She is well known for her versatility and can switch with ease between serious and humorous roles. With her outstanding roles in humorous movies, Tabu has made a lasting impression on the Bollywood film industry, enthralling viewers with her charm and wit. Her portrayal of Anuradha in Hera Pheri, where she co-starred with comedy heavyweights Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar, is one prominent illustration of her humorous nuances. Her role of the feisty and humorous Janki in Chachi 420 is another unforgettable performance that had the audience in stitches due to her antics. The delightful performances of this stunning actress add even more sparkle to the lighthearted and entertaining films like Biwi No. 1 and Crew.

Tabu's acting talent is unmatched; she gives every part a depth and genuineness that drives her humor to new levels. Her unparalleled skill and allure are demonstrated by the fact that people go to theaters to see her hilarious magic on screen, which is a testimonial to her success as a comic at the box office. One of the most adored and successful actresses in Indian cinema, Tabu never fails to dazzle audiences with her distinct combination of charm, talent, and adaptability—especially when it comes to comedic roles.

Banerjee Sarbani

In my opinion, leading females Hema Malini, Karisma Kapoor, and Kriti Sanon are the ones who have succeeded in the beloved comedy genre in their own unique ways. Whether she was causing double trouble in Seeta Aur Geeta (1972) or stealing hearts as the spunky, chatty Basanti in Sholay (1975), Hema Malini, our "dream girl," has left an enduring impression of her versatility with her memorable and humorous characters, inspiring generations in the process.

The legendary duo of Govinda and Karishma Kapoor not only produced back-to-back successes that were hits on the box office but also guaranteed endless giggles for every child of the 1990s. Karisma's comedic turns have consistently made us laugh, demonstrating her talent for comedic roles. Among her brilliant comedy filmography, films like Judwaa, Hero No.1, Andaz Apna Apna, and Biwi No.1 are revered as some of her best.

Finally, but just as impressively, Kriti Sanon's highly praised comedies have allowed her to join this list of celebrities. Her career has reached unprecedented heights of success due to her consistent delivery of exceptional performances, whether in Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017) or Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (2024). She is a self-taught poet with a keen sense of human emotions, especially those of lighthearted pleasure, which helps her to capture her characters well. After just ten years since her debut, she has realized her full potential and gained enormous recognition and fame.

Aayman Anwar Ali

The actress from India is none other than the talented and adaptable Sabitri Chatterjee, who excels in comedic roles. Film enthusiasts can never forget her outstanding performance in movies such as Shashi Babur Sansar, Mantramugdha, Bhranti Bilas, Dhanni Meye, and Mouchak.

Kajal Chatterjee

The charmingly smiling actress Juhi Chawla performed a masterful job of comedic timing in a number of successful 1990s movies. She was well-known for her vivacious and effervescent demeanor, which allowed her to play characters with humor, playfulness, and innocence with ease. She consistently made the audience laugh aloud in films like Yes Boss, Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke, and Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman. Her wit and humour charmed viewers even in commercials, leaving them spellbound by phrases like "Tedha hai per mera hai." Because of her uncanny ability to make her admirers laugh and smile, Juhi Chawla is still adored as an actress.

Raychaudhuri Sohini

Indian actress Disha Vakani excels at comedic roles. In the wildly popular comedy series Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah on Sony SAB, which I have been a major fan of since it debuted in 2008, Disha used to play the beloved character of Daya Gada, also known to everyone as Dayaben. I really think that one of the best comedic actresses in Indian small cinema is Disha. Since 2017, the actress has taken a hiatus from the program. I've been eagerly awaiting her return to the part of Daya bhabhi, just like all the other show lovers. It is my hope that she will return to the show shortly.
