When they reach their peak, Bollywood actresses have the biggest
issue at hand. Who to marry? With the kind of lifestyle that they are
used to, they can’t obviously go for someone beneath their financial
status. So, it is a kind of a challenge for them to find and hook
someone who’s not only much above their status, but also good looking
enough to make them look like a great pair. While some have failed
miserably in this quest, some have managed to actually get the right
man. Here’s our pick of smart Bollywood women, who were ‘lucky’
