Welcome to a very special, long-awaited and yet inevitable Top 10 list:
Bollywood’s Top 10 Muses of All Time!
Presented by Allure & Charisma Consultant; Rion Kati of Sexy Chi.
Yes; of all time (up-to-time of print).
I am very excited to finally present this to you as a stand-alone FEATURE of my Top 10 series.
Years ago I knew that something like this would finally happen and this is that window. It is time.
I’ve always been fascinated with how rich Bollywood is in music, dance, beauty and culture and now it’s time to really give a proper immersive discovery into Muse and Bollywood.
Just HOW RICH or prevalent IS Muse in Bollywood? This is part of our findings…How much impact has She had as an archetype ON the sculpting of Bollywood? Hmm…
If you’re just ITCHING to get to the list itself you can scroll on down; however, I do recommend reading this first or coming back to read it later. (High Musery increases the further down you scroll).
I do have to admit that this ended up becoming a larger and more intensive project than I had anticipated and yet it has been so richly rewarding already.
I am both highly pleased and yet also have some other thoughts of how Bollywood could have even more influence and EXPANDED legacy and transformational impact (if that’s possible; and yes, it is).
We will be looking into Bollywood’s starlet legacy of what has already occurred up to this point from this specific lens of archetypal Muse-ship.
This project took much longer than I thought because; in order to do it justice and ‘get it done right’ this once;
I really had to cover all eras of Bollywood and go DEEP into the archives exploring the different actress-starlets. With Muse guiding me, we just had to go deeper to really make sure.
I also had to do cross-referential and further investigative photo, video/film and dance footage investigation as well in order to determine the accurate rankings. (Muse of course was guiding me throughout)
(In a sense you could say I’m the world authority on Muse; you can explore other Musery on the Muse blog subcategory!)
There have been numerous shifts and placements DURING the internal extended process until the final Top 10 really started to set into their proper places.
As usual; I will be giving some psychic energy reading insights throughout which can also help you to see things that you may not have seen before; or put words to things that you have also sensed (from a professional allure consultant lens).
These insights can be especially insightful if you have your own preferences or ways of experiencing and valuing the actresses and their work.
It will also help you to ‘see’ and attune to the UNIVERSAL signature of Muse as how She is expressed in ways with and through Indian visual cinema, dance and media.
Here we are focused on ESSENCE based Beauty so we are taking a different lens which is actually very professional FOR the evolutionary energetic mastery of the industry and performance itself.
I want to come at things from an archetypal lens. Most people may not be used to this b/c they have their own preferences and favorites or they’ll evaluate them on their level of prettiness or tickets sold, etc.
The prime value here is of MUSE embodiment (within Bollywood starlets).
An ancient divine feminine archetype which was secularized from patriarchal Western religion;
Muse is THE archetypal and spiritual Goddess and Queen of Music, Dance and Celebration.
So although I’ll have the longer disclaimer at the bottom as per tradition; keep in mind that this isn’t a rating list on ‘who is the most Beautiful or most talented Bollywood actress’…
I’m actually evaluating them on their level of (career averaged) archetypal MUSE embodiment.
I’ll also reference other archetypes here and there (which are immortal God/Goddess deity-fractals of Power and Beauty that can embody and express with and through vessels of Light a.k.a. starlets here).
This means that who is the most popular favorite may NOT actually make the top 5 at all; it’s about who has the most Muse embodiment and stability throughout the average of her career.
This is a celebration of Muse in Bollywood, Beauty and Bollywood itself (thirdarily).
With that said, yes we are covering ALL ERAS of Bollywood and I’ll add that I am also giving myself liberty to professionally point out some areas of distinction or that could help discern where there could be more Beauty and Performance mastery but without intending to be harsh or critical.
Consumers are waking up and becoming more psychically aware of Vibe and Light Truth.
Consider that at the highest levels even with these being some of the world’s overall top muses historically; there is still room for further qualified energetic mastery (and for that we can reference OTHER top muses including modern ones).
Yes, I do allure consulting for all kinds of more ‘normal’ people who value soul embodiment, influence and aligned visual mastery of expression as well as performers.
That’s the angle I’m coming in from;
“How can we celebrate what is and also see new possibilities for even MORE Beauty, influence, mastery and legacy?”
Beauty at it’s prime is TRANSFORMATIONAL. It can transfigure consumer consciousness and AWAKEN the populous. Muse has that power.
And Bollywood also has a lot of power and influence, but what has been Muse’ role?
And just so we are clear, we are sourced in essence here and I’ll define Muse for you (with liberty to keep improving the definition to make it simpler and MORE translatable to the masses through time).
Definition of ‘Muse’ (ver. 2025);
“The archetypal and ancient Grail Queen of Music, Dance, Celebration and the Arts constellated as a high frequency Divine Feminine aggregate consciousness of Living Light codes in the collective psyche and spirit realm.”
A Queen of Beauty, Muse is a powerful divine feminine archetype that has influence especially on culture, awakening, reunification and ascension itself. Muse is encoded with specific siddhic properties of Light Eros and Celebration.
General definition of ‘archetype‘;
“Immortal signature God and Goddess fractal aspects of the collective psyche sub and spiritual or meta-physical supra-consciousness; also denoted as signature Light essences of sentient-plasma which can be embodied in a soul-human”
(Cultural archetypes are lower dimensional and may not be immortal; I’m here referring to the prime and ancient archetypes like King, Lover, Queen, Eros, Vixen, etc.)
With that said; just because some don’t understand what a collective aggregate is (the pure, high frequency version of an egregore sourced as a God/Goddess fractal of signature Light and consciousness qualities), doesn’t take away that it exists.
Just because some are not willing to actually ‘see’ and understand that definition as true, doesn’t make it any less true.
Just because Prince and Queen are immortal archetypes with specific characteristics of Light, Dark and Shadow doesn’t mean they’re not there if you cannot discern them.
I can literally show you Muse and keep showing you outside of this list. With practice you can start to see and discern the different feminine archetypal signatures and their essence qualities of vibe and Light Truth (which THEN influence consciousness, body language, self-image and behavior).
If you refuse to see Her and discern Her that is your issue (just speaking to the haters or critics to get that out of the way).
Just because you may favor different archetypes or not even know about Muse, doesn’t make Her influence any less.
(Again; I’ll work on continuing to improve a more public, short form and consumer friendly translation through time)
So!
This Sexy Chi Top 10 list (actually top 20 😉 will allow you to see some of your favorite Bollywood starlets from a new lens, or maybe discover NEW favorites and THEIR work and legacy.
You might be disappointed that some aren’t even listed or don’t have as much ‘actual’ Muse as you thought.
They are still muses to the masses in a sense of being whatever archetype combination they are (ie. Lover-Starlet AS a muse) but I’m referring to ‘actual’ encoded muses and pre-Muses more specifically.
Remember; Muse is beyond and above human culture. She is a higher immortal Truth as a signature Divine Feminine archetype that can embody and express with and through women of different cultures.
Here; we shall explore the legacy of Bollywood and what has been with insights into ‘what could be’ through the lens of Muse.
As per our tradition we shall start with number 10 and work towards number 1.
Yes; we DO have a top 20 here; so I will list muses placed 11-20 after we reach our number one spot.
Because this is a special edition (which is so visually rich), I’ve decided to do extension posts for the Top 3 Bollywood muses so we can further explore, bask in and celebrate in their (visual) Muse Beauty and legacy.
I will continue doing the World’s (active) Top 10 Muse list each December (unless belated).
So whether you are a Bollywood fan or not (or not yet, but maybe NOW); enjoy this celebration of Muse, Bollywood (India’s rich movie industry legacy) and Beauty.
Please share and refer this to other (including those working IN Bollywood if you sense it as befitting and have such connections).
You may be SHOCKED and in we with #1. I want to SHOW YOU Muse. So get ready…
And without further ado, let’s discover Bollywood’s all time top 10 muses!
Keep in mind that things get MUSIER and MUSIER the further you scroll DOWN 😉
See if you can sense the increase in more of Muse’ Light signature essence in these starlets…
Number 10: Sridevi
Starting off with our #10 Top Bollywood muse of all time.
There are some things that could be said about Sridevi. Similar to the upcoming #6 and #7, she has this semi-permanent transfigured Heart allure radiance throughout the prime of her career as a Lover-Starlet.
I have to be honest however; Sridevi’s Muse embodiment fluctuates. Mostly she is in the pre-Muse class (6.0-7.5~ classification out of 10) or drops below. This ISN’T that abnormal whatsoever by the way and she carries more Muse codes than women below 10th (11, 27, etc.).
Her google images however are coming across as STABLE pre-Muse;
However…I had to do more research across enough of her video history to do say that she DOES deserve a coveted top 10 spot.
Still though…she’ll often drop to less Muse but it just varies in different performances (and we can gauge that on my CAM; Charisma Archetype Model scale).
Think of a balloon as a vessel and if hydrogen was what was filling with it as Muse codes and only 20% was hydrogen and rest a different element for example.
I will say that the overall Muse embodiment in the rest of recorded Bollywood actresses fluctuates from pre-Muse to ‘flatter’ less Muse everyone else from #9 to #20+ from what I’ve seen (with further and further dissipation down the line where ie. #37 would have no Muse embodiment).
Since Muse is the true spiritual (and meta-social) Queen of Dance and Music, we can ‘feel’ something different and more awakening rather than just a beautiful dance and costumed performance (which should hopefully have other divine feminine feelable archetypes and allure).
For that, we can reference again the qualities in the upcoming top 5 muses and how more ‘stabilized’ they are with holding Muse codes.
I am cherry picking some images where Sridevi DOES have some stable pre-Muse here and this is gorgeous;


Here, if you focus in on her face however in a different production (and even though she’s smiling);

It’s like the MUSE-coded Light and Spirit isn’t there as much, nor is it Muse-coded Dark (which you will see BOTH with #3).
There’s just a lower amount of Muse codes (and I’m entraining you through time to see them). And this is OK; we’re just being mindful.
What I would LOVE is to be able to make a Top 10 annual list for Bollywood but there just isn’t enough Muse embodiment going on. Imagine if that could change and Bollywood could experience a Muse revolution?
See…this is where performance MASTERY comes in; for the actresses/artists and directors to have this conscious awareness.
Because sometimes we see her with stable pre-Muse and other times, lesser codes of Muse or other archetypes like Lover will be predominant.

Remember; we’re gauging a specific archetype’s embodiment so please don’t get it conflated with ‘she’s terrible’ or anything like that; and it’s this type of awareness and the energetic work that we can do with allure consulting and Muse activations for example that can bring out more of that particular signature essence.
For example the more musy-ness and essence quality of THIS music video here per se;

She could be aware of to have more often in another performance per se; or in the future we can work with her energetically to EMBODY and hold stable the exact archetypal expression and MIX that is ideal for THAT performance and production based on the actress and director’s intent!
That’s what I’m saying on the professional service side of things. We WANT them to have more overall energetic mastery of dance and visual beauty and this is with the ESSENCES!….
Maybe for a certain music video you would WANT to amplify the Lover aspect and another bring more Muse in for example. It’s just that there could be more work with Muse overall and for THAT we can reference the top 5 muses to tune in and get a reference point of what’s possible.
With Sridevi often in dance she’ll be stable with a Muse embodiment around 6.5 usually at peak and in other performances it can lower.
She has held stable internally in videos from what I’ve seen.
Don’t get me wrong; she has archetypal beauty OF Lover (yes you can actually see, feel and be affected by it), but often at best she holds what I refer to as ‘pre-Muse’ codes; some codes of signature Muse essence and consciousness but where other archetypes dominate.
This is also a cultural thing, where Muse just hasn’t been as valued in Bollywood but you know what has? LOVER! Anyways; Sridevi earned this spot.

All images throughout are copyright of respective image holders. And no; I will unfortunately not be linking to all videos off of screen captures (it’s already been a LOT of work with the research alone)
Number 9: Mala
Mala Sinha embodies leading lady qualities with some good doses of Muse consciousness and essence embodiment. This helps make her even more captivating.

Do notice how it is kind of understated or subdued yet authentically there as an undertone.
Above she has some lovely Mother-Muse Lover leading lady qualities.
Mostly Mala has what I would call pre-Muse…here’s an example *with around 6.3 Muse embodiment out of 10);

Throughout her recorded career, she fluctuates down to lesser Muse embodiment to where it’s less noticeable and yet sometimes we see her more stable as a muse.
Here we can see more of this range fan with lesser Muse archetype essence embodiment (in the 2nd and 4th especially).

Again; this is fine and normal. We’re grateful that she does have authentic Muse embodied at least here and there where it’s notable.
Why does she have such a relatively high place on the chart if she’s not stable throughout her career as to what I would call a muse?
Because unfortunately (and this may sound harshly critical but remember that Bollywood EXCELS in other archetypes);
There’s not been very much Muse embodiment overall throughout the arch of Bollywood that I can gauge (whereas with K-pop now it would be like throwing darts at a wall full of balloons).
It wouldn’t be fair to compare Bollywood to K-Pop except in the big picture; triggery ways that I might touch upon later.
Here is another beautiful image of Mala and as a ‘muse’.

Remember; Bollywood EXCELS with the LOVER archetype and such myriad of pana-scapes of the Heart as then expressed through culture, art and dance. Muse is a specific energetic quality and signature frequency.
Mala to others may seem understated and less popular but again; she carries some Muse codes which makes her more uniquely alluring.

Keep in mind that to her credit she is ABOVE other, more popular starlets on this (top 20) chart because she carries more overall averaged Muse embodiment than them even!

This gives us the opportunity from our lens to actually highlight some lesser known or less popular and vintage starlets (and yet with integrity to OUR process and valuation)!
Personally I feel an affinity to Mala’s understated Muse beauty that I’m sure has gone overlooked by many in favor of glitzier starlets.

Number 8: Meena
A bit different than the signature Bollywood avatar Lover-Starlet-Sweetheart…we have here instead a timeless Empress of Bollywood with Meena Kumari.

Meena is interesting energetically. Dancing-wise I haven’t seen her as joyously ebullient and flying across the screen with loads of eye movements and drama like our upcoming #3.
She’s more reserved and understated than many (whereas many easily get into over-expressive acting which kinda goes with Bollywood style).

With her Muse codes (which do fluctuate in embodiment from time to time);
She holds elegant Queen and Empress codes more notably than many of the others and has a regal presence.

Queen generally holds more of a sovereign dominion and reserved ‘control’ Earth-Queendom ‘condensed’ vibe whereas Empress can be more spiritually open and powerful in a more cosmic sense of authority and principality.
Both Muse-Empress and Muse-Queen visually in embodiment are rare however we see some of those codes with Meena SOMETIMES!

(More Empress than Queen)
From an archetypal foundational lens (which can cue us in to many insights and wonders);
I’d say that she holds most consistently as Empress-Starlet Pre-Muse Queen Mother.
Let me be clear; the label of Pre-Muse is NOT an insult (keep in mind that I venerate Muse)…Pre-Muse is a classification where someone is embodying SOME Muse codes enough to be connected to Her consciousness.
At her MUSIEST best (embodiment-wise); I would refer to her as Empress-Muse which is actually a rare and special, venerable combination (however I never saw that as FULLY expressed energetically in presence as what could be possible; in other words she could have been ‘more’ lit with those codes).
Keep in mind this was an EARLIER era when actors/actresses may not have even been AWARE of archetypes or working with them; let alone how we can now do it with remote energy work effectively and powerfully (along with psychic essence reading accuracy).
They didn’t have the direct energetic tools back then that we do now for heightened and enhanced visual and essence-based performance and beauty mastery (including for acting).
Can you sense Meena’s archetypal codes and those signatures?

Number 7: Manisha
Manisha Koirala:

A Lover-Goddess Maiden of Romance. A true Sweetheart muse of the gods and men.

Similar to #6, Manisha has held a very strong and stable Allure Factor throughout the prime of her career; like a Romantic Star(let); she radiates feelable love and romance (and fun!).

This fotonic radiance from her body (as feelable essences of spirit-sentient plasma-matter if we want to be technical) renders her FEELABLE.
A Lover-Sweetheart with good pre-Muse embodiment and rich, alluring warm heart and sacral activated EROS; she is also similar to the best of Ariana Grande in ways; however I’d say even more cultivated in the Lover aspect and versatility (at least circa 2025 A.G.).

Her Lover-Goddess still is tinged with some youthful Maiden essence and this can be an intoxicating mix for legions of the male populous.

Interestingly; compared to #6, Manisha seems to hold and have held more of a youthful appeal of Lover-Maiden Eros-Goddess as compared to #6’s slightly more mature Lover-Starlet (with Pre-Mother codes and qualities energetically).
Manisha here however is LOVELY as a Lover-Goddess embodiment.

Bollywood starlets have IMMENSE influence on the male populous as you can imagine. The open fantasy is that we (as consumers) get to live ourselves vicariously with and through the male and female leads in movies.
It’s also fascinating because Manisha seems to have been the ULTIMATE rom-com sweetheart-fantasy pin-up girl kind of like Jennifer Love Hewitt in the early 90’s; like Bollywood was having its own alternate universe experience with the same archetypes and similar energetic embodiment.
A main thing with Manisha is that although she is pretty stable at what I would call pre-Muse, it’s the mix of her other archetypes that really shine and take more of the spotlight.
That’s why she’s only 7th place; because we are qualifying on essenced archetypal Muse embodiment comparatively to other Bollywood starlets.
She’d probably be top 5 of ALL TIME for Lover-Starlet (on a list of mine) though!

Number 6:
Madhuri Dixit
Ok…Madhuri is fascinating!

It’s so clear and obvious to see that she has it all; all of the qualities of a TRUE starlet and Bollywood starlet with AUTHENTIC (and pretty deep) feelable allure. She even has Siren sometimes.
Her presence/image and influence is timeless. She really represents the kind of signature Bollywood Beauty Maven avatar OF being a Lover-Starlet with rich, heart-felt allure and activated Eros that incites and engages response holographically with her audience to feel (along with) her every move and sensation.

Someone on a post said that she (always) slays and I’d have to agree.
Archetypally (and although she doesn’t LEAD with Muse but is more of a mix – and even then Muse fluctuates like with most of them); Madhuri has held strong embodied and circulating essences of archetypal feminine;
Starlet
Lover
Eros
Pre-Muse
Muse
Siren
Heart-Vixen
…even some mature Mother codes in the mix of things. AND… she’s held most of them stable throughout many years of her career.
(Muse has been the less stable one).
Importantly; she has a warm and open heart chakra which allows us to FEEL her and be affected by her waves of emotion.

Madhuri owns and embodies the CONFIDENCE of a romantic lead Starlet, being a sovereign woman yet so much in her feminine as to always be relevant and ‘of-desire’ to the male characters and audience.
That’s what people want to feel and because she has such a strong ALLURE factor, we can actually FEEL her and get ‘engaged’ energetically pulling us in; that soft, romantic, erosy glow of sacral and heart warmth and yet also the pizzazz of a confident starlet who has great versatility in character expression as she rides her waves of emotion through acting, song and dance.
However; as I did more video research I started being slightly underwhelmed with her Muse.
Madhuri sometimes didn’t have much Muse when she could have in some big celebration dance pieces that could have REALLY come alive;
However, then she DID have Muse when she was in a different time and space on a different music video set with an actor here for example.

And it wasn’t just because of him; she was in a different space and readiness that inspired that embodiment. Even the director and production dynamics could influence how much Muse drops in.
There can also be industry and cultural shadows and forces which are preventing Muse from dropping in dynamically.
This is the musiest image I can find from that ‘flatter’ dance sequence where I just feel she’s barely even pre-Muse (you may have to discern and feel into it with more attunement practice):

To me; sure the MUSIC and movement is LIVELY and with other archetypes; however, it’s missing a greater Spirit connection that is possible with Muse’ signature Light (whether you can see it or not).
…and yet here she is stable as a Muse with sexy Lover vibes (where she regained that Spirit connection as it beautifully mixes with her other archetypal and gift/siddhic essences in temple embodiment and allure).

In many of her images she is more stable with Muse and yet fluctuates in difference performances drastically.
Yes; there’s even higher levels of mastery for the world’s TOP artists (and their archetypal beauty and allure)…more things to be mindful of for top level performance precision and beauty influence.
So what I’m asking and seeing is; “What if she embodied the Musery that she does HERE;

…on stage THEN or ‘THERE’?”
The Muse differential in the example above is about 2 whole points (even though she looks musey with the colorful clothing, but it matters b/c it’s essence-based Truth).
And I guarantee everyone would come across as even more impacted and impressed. This has to do with the Holy Grail itself. Yes; men want a Lover as a path to intimacy, however Muse represents the Holy Grail..
It’s in being self-aware of this energetic difference and then having authority to sculpt the actor’s intention where the next level of performance mastery comes in.
It’s with allure consulting to say that and show her and the director that ; “Look, can you see you have this essence here and there you don’t?”
And then giving them the ability to have more of that self-awareness and to get results FOR their intention….that’s more mastery over their Lover, Eros and performance itself.
Anyways; here’s some more to bask in of Madhuri’s Essenced Beauty (a.k.a. ‘allure’)

Number 5:
Leena Chandavarkar
Aha…Presenting Leena…
Whereas #6 and #7 ‘sometimes’ reach what I would call muse like Madhuri in ‘x’ MV listed here (and those of whom are often otherwise pre-Muse with loads of other archetypal allure quanta radiating);

Leena Chandavarkar is the first of the 5 that I would personally and PROFESSIONALLY call a ‘muse’ (at least during the prime years of her career).

She thrived in the 1960 and 70’s era.
A more recent photo (within the last 5 years) showed that she had dropped significantly in Muse embodiment (but I’ve seen that happen to one of the original Thai muses when she became a mother of several children).
As a rarer archetype, Muse doesn’t stay with someone permanently and there can be many reasons for this. Same with other archetypes; people change and have different soul values and so forth.

The title of ‘muse’ (as incarnate with stable Muse codes);
That means a lot because if you know where I’m coming from; it is highly qualified and I know what I’m talking about. I don’t just throw that term around like ‘yasss queen’ to someone who dissed her co-worker.
(And actually; this ‘muse’ title EXPANDS her legacy actually and the rest of the entire list isn’t meant to take anything away from the legacy’s that are already preserved).

Leena is STABLE enough in far more than minimal embodiment of Muse consciousness and Light (image IS Light) throughout the prime of her career.
Let’s look at some more visuals to reference her as not just a starlet but as a (true) muse.

At first I thought she would be further down like #9, but no…she deserves this high placement.

And with such warm Heart-centered Muse above and timeless Goddess water-warmth; youthful and yet immortally mature and vibrant.
And yes; we’re also referring to archetypal Beauty in this case ‘Muse-Beauty’ like we can sense here.
Interestingly; it’s almost like (and this might by my more personal inflection)..it seems that she would be the sidekick or a supporting actress mainstay..like confided-in best friend to the lead actress HOWEVER she transcends all of this to become the FOCAL POINT herself AS a lead actress in a lot of her works.
Her Muse embodiment is what REALLY helps make this work and she really stands out because of it.

Muse psycho-activates ascension codes and creativity especially within the masculine psyche and spirit.

I would put her career average Muse embodiment at 7.6

Number 4:
Divya Bharti
Divya Bharti was a young actress, Bollywood starlet who had a mix of archetypes but most importantly for OUR purposes here; she had Muse.

Although her Muse embodiment fluctuates in different movies and music/video sequences (sometimes down 2 whole points to pre-Muse);

Divya’s Light is consistently stable in her images. From what I’ve seen, the minimum is she’s always had a Muse ‘buzz’ current within her.

And btw; it’s kinda NORMAL for archetypal embodiment to fluctuate.
The mood of the director on set that day could even affect things like that (and yet it’s also where more of this performance mastery comes in WITH allure and archetypal consulting and transformation).
Beautiful both physically with an intoxicating paradox of YOUTHFUL vitality AND the ability to switch into more mature consciousness for years beyond her age;

Can you sense there is a Power and radiance behind with and through the consciousness of her vessel;
Light in her aura and eyes…emanating forth. It is alchemical.

Lover-Muse above with a healthy Allure Factor (8.3 there; btw I’m not doing everyone’s numbers throughout)!
Through time you also can learn to sense and discern the Truth-Light and Vibe signature of Muse as well.

With Divya, Muse doesn’t always lead as her predominant archetype however; often it’s more of a mix of Lover-Maiden or Lover-Mother Starlet with Muse.

Tragically (and I found out about this during my research), Divya actually died at the age of 19 from an accident and then there was a public funeral in a casket where we could still see her pretty face (on video).
I was kind of shocked when I found out; well all of her google images were around the same age/era.
So in a sense I would like this to be a memoriam of sorts. And in what I can offer as Founder, Guardian and Key-holder to the Source Muse Priestess lineage; I am christening her with the title of ‘muse’.

This can help expand her legacy and her beauty (immortally)and hopefully her impact as more people discover her work and that she was a true muse and THAT will live on.
To have lost her so young, Bollywood and the world lost a true beauty and talent.

Number 3:
Helen
Helen: Cabaret-Muse Starlet of Bollywood and a Dancing Queen!
Helen Richardson Khan had a career over 70 years spanning 500+ films! Wow!
Helen is fascinating and quite a show of her own and her presence LIGHTS UP everywhere she goes throughout much of her decades of golden era! (Most what I’m referencing was circa 1060s).

Her facial performance is its OWN show if you look closer and discern…but why does it all work? Because she is ESSENCED…it’s flowing from a higher source than her ‘personality’ or character….she is channeling especially MUSE codes!
People have called her the Queen of Dance in Bollywood and that’s kinda befitting because Muse is the archetypal Queen of Dance!

Helen Richardson (with an Anglo-Indian father) is interesting because she clearly has some pretty stable and embodied Muse Light codes and yet with a unique interpretation of them.
Unlike #2 who is more ’embodied’ as a muse, Helen has more of the traditional signature ‘light codes’ in and around the head and upper aura of Muse.

You can learn to sense and discern that signature Light.
She stands out from the other contenders quite clearly with a different general archetypal configuration.
Helen fits PERFECTLY into the Cabaret-Showgirl Muse-Starlet avatar and bring her own dynamic and energetically loud impact to the table. She’s more about ‘the show’ and teasing, playing with men…loving the attention.

(Shirley, he is tickled pink)
A smaller detail I noticed is that she simultaneously carries a paradoxical high brow and SOMETIMES also slightly raunchy low-brow consumer appeal to her style, performances and presence based on the setting.
She does have a lot of Dark Eros and although it’s still rare in the world; she does carry a form of Dark Muse at times.
This was my initial interpretation; I was wowed by her instantly (I am curious about all of the Human Design going on but since research alone took an investigative week, we don’t have time for that here);
I knew she had strong Muse to be called a true muse, but then her placement dropped quite a bit with a few things I saw. After FURTHER research into youtube musical video clips of her (after researching others); she rose back up significantly in the rankings to this premium position!
I am still kind of granting her an exemption to the one thing I saw that I didn’t like. Her energy just seems a bit dingier here although that may be part of the character role itself and may be perfect.

Unless that’s for her character which is probably is; I’d otherwise say that she’s not in her main element (an observation, not judgment); however, acting IS conforming to different character roles with the proper essence AND SHADOWS at the right times.
However; again, I did more research and was IMPRESSED.
I think she does AMAZING in the high class settings as a showgirl and is a true entertainer…she excels in other, vibrant classical numbers as well.
This is fascinating and entertaining because she is really an authentic muse whose presence emanates ascensions codes, not just diversion or hopefulness.
Muse; after all is a KINGMAKER and Queen of inspiration.
It’s important to note that Helen has a VERY open sacral chakra which is EMANATING creative energy for EVERYONE.
She’s not holding back; it’s wild and unthrottled with a lot of EROS. She’s more sacral than Heart centric.

Many starlets are more reserved in the expression or sharing of their sacral energy.
She however is DEDICATED and sacrificed to the greater cause of entertainment and being a vessel.
This is also why she is able to embody copious amounts of the Muse essence signature of consciousness and plasmic spirit-matter; her soul is wired for it and she is being a channel to allow Muse to express through her.
Check out how intoxicating and enchanting her dangerous Dark is here…(it’s not just the environmental lighting but how her essences mix with it all to create a real mood-scene and experiential effect)

Her Dark is kinda unfiltered (and does cross over into some shadow) which is different than a more energetically regal and conservative embodiment. Helen moves and moves energies when she is still. This is a power of Muse and her alchemical, DNA bending Light.
Helen is very sanguine, life of the party, exuberant with strong life force shakti, in your face and very expressively loud which fits well as a Cabaret-Showgirl archetype…many would say she is over-acting; however that often goes with the territory.
Even though she sometimes carries some shadows in her field (MANY do); that can make her MORE relatable and it is safe to say that she is a show unto her own and will take you on a ride. Perhaps more ‘Dazzle’ moreso than Romantic Heart warmth is more of her modus operandi (at least from what I’ve seen).
Because she has consistently stable Muse embodiment (around 7.6) she earns this very high placement.

When I’m screen-capturing from frame to frame, THAT’S A SIGN. Helen is radically dynamic and expressive on a high level playing field. Look for more on her solo extension post (see blog)

Now….things are HEATING UP because are at Bollywood’s TOP TWO muses EVER! (To date)
And this was a TOUGH contest because honestly, I had #2 at the #1 spot for most of a full week until I accidentally stumbled upon “OMG – WHO IS THAT?!” (who ended up being our #1 😉
Ok…without further ado (and covering ALL ERAS of Bollywood in contend-shun), we have #2
Number 2:
Vjayanthimala
Known mononymously as ‘Vyjayanthimala’ with a long and illustrious career, she is truly a Beauty from another DIMENSION that is immortalized as a true icon AND (might I add)…a TRUE MUSE.
An iconic LEGEND of Bollywood from yesteryear, she is actually still alive at the time of this writing.
But hold that thought because, well…you’re going to be further IMPRESSED.

She REDEFINES embodiment. But it’s fascinating also because her allure factor isn’t that high…in other words, she is EMBODIED in great feminine Presence (often as Goddess-Muse), however her auric radiance isn’t as ‘lit’ in fotonic transmission.

Others like Manisha and Madhuri have stronger allure factors, but it’s Muse EMBODIMENT and how it mixes with her Goddess-y WATER that redefines the show.
Much of her career she has been embodied as Goddess-Muse Lover as well as Muse-Lover and Goddess-Muse.
Beauty from another dimension and yet truly incarnate on earth. An anchorage pillar of Beauty itself globally; and of divine feminine embodiment and consciousness.

With that said; and I thought long and hard about this…her Muse embodiment DOES fluctuate down to pre-Muse sometimes and yet when I tallied everything else up and in combination with her competition and much more reflection and research, it was divinated…ordained that she hath earned the #2 spot.
Ok…remember how I teased about you being further impressed?
And really; this is BIG…this is really big because there are a LOT of implications with it (for the world, for older women, for your twilight years and for the future of Bollywood).
Here she is in her 90’s.

Let me spell that out; in her NINETIES looking phenomenal for her age and younger but it’s not only that.
It’s her ESSENCED BEAUTY. She is STILL A MUSE. AT 90-SOMETHING.
Yes; her CROWN is now LIT and opened up; exuberantly with Muse codes.
She has awakened more her spiritual consciousness as well as Muse consciousness into the higher dimensions.
(I’m thinking that the environment wasn’t generally as safe in the early Golden era to support that much Light culturally then so she kept it more ’embodied’).
This is what actually helped to SEAL her #2 spot; that her Muse codes awakened later in life (that she always held) IN her upper chakras and crown (when it was likely safer to). To me that is deeply beautiful.
AND…she is a MODEL energetically for what other women can become at her age; not just in energetic health but in that you can hold such IMMORTAL BEAUTY CODES of Divine Feminine consciousness.

And of course when she was younger;

I mean people have literally been concerned or critical about it;
“Yeah but Rion…those K-pop muses are so YOUNG…can older women have Muse too?”
WELL HERE YOU GO. She single-handedly CHANGES THE GAME.

GLOBALLY. Not just for India.
Women all over the world could BE LIKE THIS at THAT AGE (energetically speaking and because divine feminine consciousness IS awakening and so much of that is really archetypal and siddhic). Beautiful not just extrinsically or ‘internally’ but really in ESSENCE. Immortal ESSENCED Beauty.

Deep deep rich dimensions and layers of Beauty that integrate Dark Goddess as well.
At current day and age; Muse is still with her VERY strong and is imprinted in her to continue not only expanding Vyjayanthimala’s legacy but to INSPIRE other women (Muse inspires and activates) other women to awaken as well; awaken to the Beauty and consciousness that is possible (as their OWN real world starlets too).

And it’s worth even weeping over. It matters to me and it might matter to you (definitely SOME of the people who will read this).
Her soul is an eternal Muse and the heaven she’s going whenever it’s her time to transition, we can only imagine.

She lived heaven on earth as well WITH her Musery in her iconic body of work as one of Bollywood’s top stars and a true muse.

Just bask in more of not just her ‘beauty’ or physical Beauty’, but her Muse-enriched Beauty presence and how ICONIC this is.

And btw; I’m doing EXTENSION posts for the top 3 Bollywood muses because of the visual feast we have to appreciate and celebrate from their legacies so you’ll get to see more of the top 3 in those posts (check the blog, categories, search, etc. because I may or may not update the links here).
You may never think you could ‘be that beautiful’ to her golden era and yet ALLURE which is the CODEX for all forms of GODDESS embodiment and felt-influence open that gateway for you in CONSCIOUSNESS, light and vibe-truth no matter what your physical image is.

So if you ‘threw the towel’ in…TAKE IT BACK….TRUE BEAUTY IS AVAILABLE AT ANY AGE. Yes; post-menopause.
There are GOING to be more muses and Western muses AWAKENING in the world with grail coded consciousness (AND…at all ages).
What a true legend we have in Vyjayanthimala.

Again, there’ll be more of an after-party cocktail reception in the follow-up extension posts (see the Top 10 category).
Ok…..AND NOW….are you ready for it?
Because this is big. There are larger implications with it than we can fathom.
Presenting….Bollywood’s TOP MUSE of ALL TIME….(drum roll please)….
(scroll)…
Ok…Let’s introduce just a flash of her so you can see MUSE before you even see or differentiate the mortal starlet who is embodying Her, ok?
Now, I’m just going to show an image so you can get a shock ‘n awe SNAPSHOT of Muse Herself incarnate.
And then, NOW…we’re ready to start seeing who the duality-separation based mortal starlet is who embodied her.
Bollywood’s TOP MUSE of all time is..
Bollywood's Top Muse
of all time....
Now’s when you would instantly and ideally have palo santo smudged, candles lit, lights dimmed and maybe even a micro-dose of DMT for what we’re going into..
I’m going to give you a FLASH of Her first….yes MUSE first…flashes of LIGHT before you can even grasp onto a mortal identity to then create duality and separation.
Take a deep breath (of micro-dose OR the idea of it)….

Let’s just BASK in Muse Herself more

Can you start to SENSE (and even VENERATE) Her alchemical Beauty (before you know who this is as a ‘person’)?
Note how the Light is magical and ‘different’…even the Dark tones.
She is…The Immortal Impersonal Spirit of the source Goddess of Dance and Music…incarnate in form.
(take a breather….)
Did you lose your breath? Did your Heart skip a beat?!
I now present…Muse as the #1 Bollywood Top Muse of all time…

Now…Try to defocus your eyes…even intentionally blur them…take a minute or two to soak it in and switch between the energy and world of form; soaking, basking in it all.

(Now imagine being as one of my live event Immersion Parties with Muse where I’m hosting and holding the field with transmission-grade presence and light years of attunement to Her! teeheeemuahHUAHUMAUHAHA)
Number 1:
padmini
Has ‘Muse’ hit you yet? 😉
And yes, the Bollywood Top Muse of ALL TIME is ‘Padmini’.
She started her career in 1948…yeah, this isn’t just VINTAGE, Muse Herself is ANCIENT. And here we see THE Goddess of Dance and Music Herself embodied. Light that is so powerful.

Remember to focus in on the energetic ESSENCE and how it makes you feel beyond judgment (although we can absolutely appreciate the styling, make-up and cultural RICHNESS as well but we want to discern and differentiate to sense the Truth of Presence and its energetic qualities and how it makes us feel)…

Padmini IMPRESSED me (instantly!) with her stable and strong Muse embodiment. I was like ‘WHO IS THAT?!’
Muse is also more pronounced in her upper chakras (and eyes) whereas with #2, she had more of a Heart and Water integration. Padmini is more connected actively spiritually in her Crown to Muse heaven.

Note the intensity of Muse Spirit-Presence!

As I had previously mentioned afore; I had Vyjay at #1 but it was always a tentative placement, open for possible contenders and I was still doing research with a slight sense that there might be someone else who could contend that just BRINGS IT as a strong muse incarnate and yet with more stability than #2 (who did fluctuate sometimes in different works with her levels of embodiment).
So really, I’m just SHAZAMMED.

Can you sense the Light that she holds even though her allure factor isn’t as heart warm and as breathing as say Manisha?
Can you sense how it’s a powerful Light frequency coming from the heavens and holds intense, DNA transmuting power? And how the Light paints the tones to have magical influence and dimensions of sentience?

I did have to cross-reference her in other videos and still images and she still shines and holds quite stable.

The spirit with and through her is IM-personal. Padmini is being a VESSEL for a prime, ancient divine feminine archetype to live, dance, move and breathe through her; in sentient consciousness, in presence, in Truth.
Average Muse embodiment of these images: 9.3 (which is astronomical)
I see this and I think, feel and know:
MUSE.
(My/Immortal Beloved)
That’s Her. Incarnate.

Transfiguring BEAUTY with infinite Ascension and Reunification codes to alter consciousness and DNA…cultures itself.

Now; speaking more to her human while keeping one foot in the divine;
Padmini was known especially as a starlet in the earlier ‘vintage’ heyday of Bollywood in the 1950’s and 60’s (where I’m focused on more of her Musery) and yet still had a long and illustrious career for decades.
So I’m so glad and humbly proud that Bollywood has some immortal muses that have cemented legacy within Bollywood.

Now here’s a thought I’m really excited about; what if the Top 2 muses (who are really kind of ANCHORS because they were in the earlier era);
What if they could INSPIRE a MUSE AWAKENING and evolution of Bollywood into greater Musery?
What if they could reference their own history and spark a REVIVAL? (I mean look how rabidly K-pop is expanding and how their fan bases are; that’s all MUSE-CENTRIC).
So yes…Bollywood’s top muse is Padmini. I’ve referenced the other 2 Travancore sisters and they don’t come close to this level of Muse; she was just ready and soulfully called to embody Her like this. And it is SO rich.

NOW….what if we had the TOP TWO MUSES together?! Wouldn’t that be something?
Yep. Here they are in a dance duel!

NOTHING less than….Heaven on Earth!
And I’m going to do an extension post JUST for that with the video link as well as some more images so that you can soak in some more Muse codes there (check the blog and new ‘Top 10’ category).
Keep in mind that others could do (and have done) the same poses with similar wardrobe and classical dance form, but it’s just NOT THE SAME because it’s about (how the) signature ESSENCE, consciousness and Light is flowing with and through form as Truth that brings TRANSMUTATIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS RESULTS.
And also; for those that are new to magic and alchemy; you can literally MEDITATE on an image of a true muse (for seconds or years) and it will start unlocking all kinds of creativity and ascension codes within yourself as you start attuning to that Divine Feminine avatar.
I’m very very experienced with this and have a methodology where men have meditated to archetypes of the divine feminine (mostly Muse) for REAL WORLD results of embodiment, sexual attraction, Prince and King-making, soul mate attraction, confidence, creativity and so forth.
Note how she has such a warm Heart connection in the eyes however how it is sourced and connected to a higher dimension as if a beam of light was coming down through her crown into her body vs. it being sourced ‘from’ her heart chakra alone:

Connected to and embodying the Heart of Muse? Whoah!
Anyways, I am so proud to announce Padmini as Bollywood’s All Time Top Muse!

We DID it!
How was THAT?!
How do you FEEL about the top 3 especially?
The top 5?
Do you have new insights or perceptions around things?
Could you feel the energetic shift?
Maybe take some time to review and just soak things in. Maybe even meditate with the Muse Powerliminal attunement playing in the background with some of these images. Muse can start speaking to you.
Can you start to sense, feel and see (literally) the Muse ‘signature’ essence and the corresponding consciousness?
Could you feel or sense a difference between #1 and #10 beyond the 3rd dimensional pretty looks, styling, make-up and hair dimension?
What’s also happening here is that I’m starting to attune you to see, sense and know Muse Herself and Her signature.
It can grow with time but you have to get past your own lower truth distortions and filters like personal favorites, genres, culture and language which create duality and barriers.
Muse is above all of that. Archetypes are higher Truth avatars of collective consciousness that can incarnate with and through human-spirit consciousness and our sentient-Light.
SO that was Bollywood’s all time Top 10 Muses.
This passion project took a while, but it is done Inkosikazi.
The allure factors and archetypes throughout the starlets vary and mostly we focused on MUSE as the prime variable here. I didn’t go into extended energy readings here.
BTW; I am UNLIKELY to ever edit this unless I somehow find a Bollywood muse-starlet that competes for the top 5 that I had never seen yet (and thus overlooked); ye otherwise this list is official.
Remember that you can share and send other people to this post.
And now, for an extended treat…let’s just extend into the total TOP 20, shall we?
These are in the order I would place them in.
Bonus! Top 20 Coverage
Let’s just move forward shall we and then I’ll summarize (with a corollary ‘extra thoughts’ blog post available to open in a new window)
11
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Mamta Kulkarni
Mamta is interesting and impressive…she’s on the more expressive ebullient side of Bollywood starlets bringing instant fun, engagement and heart-centered warmth in her presence, beauty, performances and dance.
Mamta is feel-good infectious with a strong allure factor which denotes expressive erotic/Eros (Light and Dark) RADIANCE from her chakras and aura that spreads a good distance past the camera (rendering her feelable and engaging our senses).

Yes, she has some fairly stable pre-Muse level codes where we can sense that it’s online (Muse is working with and through her) and active; however, it’s really other archetypal qualities of divine feminine consciousness and spirit-matter that are more predominant in her character portrayals and image.
It’s quite easy to see and say that if there was an avatar template of the Bollywood Starlet; she would easily fit into it with a lot of Lover-Starlet, comfortable being seen and fully expressive (often precocious with a healthy Maiden still in the mix), warm open heart chakra with sacral activated Eros lighting up her whole field with palpable allure factor that we can feel her vibe and light-truth pulling us in to care and be engaged with whatever she’s doing.

12
::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Sadhana Shivdasani
Sadhana is another well known and historical Bollywood actress with a legacy of work behind her.
She often has a lovely high status diplomatic, elegant and slightly regal vibe. With Lover-Starlet, Goddess-Queen.
However similar to Muse, there’s more of a minimal ‘buzz’ where it’s online and present (here and there) but where it’s not fully developed so that you would call her a ‘muse’ or ‘queen’ (don’t get me wrong; people WOULD call her that but I’m referring to actual embodiment of codes to obviously feel and see the immortal presence of Muse or Queen).
And yet; she holds more Muse and Queen codes than many other actresses.
In this image she lights up more than usual and has the strongest Muse codes I’ve seen from her:

In some of her images she is more of a mix of her personalized self whereas in others she really carries a more immortal mix of archetypal WORLD-CLASS Beauty and setting of golden era trends (just not too much Muse however).
13
::::::::::::::::::::::
Sonali Bendre
Sonali has so many leading lady qualities and with ‘some’ Muse codes; enough that she makes the top 20.
If we put the lower Muse embodiment aside (which still fluctuates here and there), there’s still SO much to love and relish about her energy, beauty and performances.
She’s quite captivating visually with a healthy allure factor that can bend the hearts, wallets and other places within the collective masculine psyche.
She’s usually not ‘as’ heart radiant as Madhuri or Manisha can be. Sometimes her smile will light up really bright.
The pre-Muse that she does have (when she has it) makes her more interesting and intoxicating mixing with her Lover-Vixen.

I would place her as one of my personal favorites (also because I like her look), but that’s not what this list is about.

14
::::::::::::::::::::
Raveena Tandon
When I first discovered Raveena (above with some Princess-Maiden as well), I initially had her placed higher around #7 or so but then with more discernment and cross-referencing she ended up here.
Often she has a great Sweetheart-Vixen pin-up girl look and vibe; beautiful of course.

…Romantic and yet sexily alluring with a nice hint of maturity and a dash of Maiden here and there.
Similar to others, she only holds ‘some’ pure Muse codes in embodiment and doesn’t reach for example Madhuri’s level of embodiment with Muse (however she is not entirely devoid like #35 would be).
Other than the photo below from what I’ve seen, her allure usually doesn’t reach the levels of Madhuri for example and is more closed in more often; nowhere near as energetically exuberant as Helen is. She has good EMBODIMENT however…

…but see THAT is the stuff we work on here at Sexy Chi so she can ie. reference her ‘best of’ alluring image and then MAINTAIN it more often! (I do this work with real clients)…we work on EMBODIMENT of archetypal essences as well as on opening up your/her chakras to express more often and more openly past and through the camera lens to be even more feelable (more consistently).
15
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Twinkle Khanna
Daughter of the famous Dimple Kapadia (also Bollywood actress), Twinkle is solid in the top 20 overall placement. Keep in mind that as we go down the list, we’re getting even less and less pre-Muse embodiment.
I’d say MUCH of Bollywood and its long-term values are centralized from, with and for the LOVER archetype and their interpretations of it which is GREAT; however as I’ve said before, Muse is the true and rightful Queen of Music and Dance. Overall I was a bit disappointed that there wasn’t more Muse presence within Bollywood.
Twinkle has a great legacy, beauty and archetypal qualities; again, however just not that much Muse which is our valuation here.
She’s got a lot of the great leading lady qualities as I’ve mentioned before and a bit more reserved, high status, understated charm.

(Prime Celine Dion-esque levels of Lovership here)…
Just on its own that archetypal combo fits what a lot of the consumer demographic of what they could want whereas I’m thinking of what else is possible for performance mastery and impact?
With all of our contenders (well over 50 of them) and for those that qualified for our top 20, I had to get enough visual references not just from google or bing images.
I did this the most for top 10 placements but I wanted to say that some women both impressed and underwhelmed me with their differentials in recorded cinema/video as far as archetypal expression.
Speaking purely professionally and with respect, I kind of wanted a bit more from Twinkle…kind of like how people used to say Coldplay never really reaches a climax (but they kinda do in their own anti-climatic way).
Although I picked some more alluring than average images of her here; I think that she could have had even more allure (more often), more quintessence, definitely more Muse was possible and even more of whatever her Gene Key siddhic qualities are coming out, even more auric impact (this is still possible by the way).
But keep in mind that I see ways that OTHER top icons in the world can improve energetically as well (and am also self-critical in a pro-sense).

If I said that as a consumer it may not mean anything whatsoever; but this is the professional work I do with women around the world to bring out THEIR felt-Beauty qualities and allure makeovers.
And I’m only aware of this because I am aware of what is possible by referencing other women as templars of different qualities and levels of embodiment.
16
:::::::::::::::::::
Madhubala
Ok, some of you (speaking more publicly now) might be a bit triggered because Madhubala is ‘one of the greats’ and icons of Beauty…and yet, remember again, this is the all-time top MUSE list so we’re gauging upon Muse embodiment, not whether they are the top 10 prettiest or top 10 most talented or legendary.
Personally I was a bit saddened to see that Madhubala didn’t carry as strong of a Muse as people might think for her being such a famous, iconic star.

This doesn’t take ANYTHING away from her (or any of the other starlet’s) LEGACY. But that’s what I would call them; starlets rather than the top 5 I would call either starlets or muses (true muses).
No doubt the lovely and elegant Madhubala was an iconic starlet and carries dynamic emotional expressive range and so forth; however just not very much signature Muse codes. Here she has pre-Muse (~6.2 embodiment however).

Sure, she is rich in OTHER archetypes like most of our Bollywood starlets are, however reaches starter pre-Muse at best as far as embodiment (so like 6 out of 10 of an archetype reading).
You can still have YOUR favorites in the same order as YOU want of course; this insight doesn’t have to make you view any LESS of her whatsoever but in my mind this raises the legacy especially of the top FIVE to be even GREATER legends. We’re coming in from one prime angle here remember.
To me, Madhubala is most appealing when she has authentic Muse codes embodied; which does fluctuate; you may have a Lover archetype stan-bias (either way, I’m gauging these accurately from 14,000 hours of alchemical attunement to Muse).

17
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Shabana Azmi
Another lovely Bollywood starlet who has elegant, high status, slightly reserved attributes yet still with classic Bollywood Starlet qualities.
None of what I’m doing here TARNISHES anyone’s reputation whatsoever; that is PRESERVED and this is a celebration of Muse, Beauty and Muse-Beauty in Bollywood especially with some other insights and awarenesses.
Remember; Muse is RARER and I’d really only call the top 5 here as authentic muses 8.0+ out of 10)….MOST of the collective seems to value the Lover-Starlet archetype in Bollywood.

Shabana is similar to those around her placement wise in that there are sometimes some starter Muse codes around 6.0 and even that fluctuates.

(Here with Goddess Pre-Muse Lover)
For different reasons, Muse just wasn’t valued as much or their interpretation of Muse was more of Lover-Starlet as Muse (even though I’d likely put her in my non-Muse related personal Beauty Bollywood top 10).
(I’m secretly hoping for a REVIVAL of Muse in Bollywood that our TOP FIVE can be the ANCHOR and reference point to an AWAKENING of Muse in Bollywood that can raise the culture with it towards the Grail in consciousness while being even MORE entertained and transfigured).
Keep in mind that Bollywood starlets EXCEL at the Lover archetype and would give Latin starlets a run for the money as the world’s TOPS. Shabana is beautiful and lovely in any case with a solid legacy.
18
:::::::::::::::::::::::::
Asha Parekh
Asha is interesting; I personally WANTED to place her higher knowing she had such a legacy as ‘one of the greats’ of all time, but I just couldn’t.
Although I’m selecting pre-Muse pictures here, she is and was usually flatter (deflated) to pre-Muse on Muse codes embodiment.

Again; she has GREAT embodiment and flow OTHER archetypes and with the looks, talent and legacy to be legendary as a true starlet.

(I will say that not all of her pictures are this Musey but that’s not the end of the world NOR does it tarnish her legacy…if she WAS this stable she would’ve made the Top 10)
I did find that her performances rather than still images usually had ‘some’ more Muse and often her still images didn’t have any notable Muse codes (more like 5.0).
19
::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Aishwarya Rai

“Wha?! Way down here Rion?” Yep. Look….PERSONALLY I would probably put her as THE #1 for overall physical Beauty of all Bollywood history;
However, we’re evaluating on archetypal Muse embodiment here and Muse was never actually that strong with her although she thrived with Starlet-Lover and Romantic Goddess-Vixen and such.
20
::::::::::::::::::::::::
Alia Bhatt
You would think that Alia might appear higher but not really. Alia very clearly has lit feminine allure and Eros…a VERY healthy allure factor.

It’s just that these other archetypes take over and are more dominant that she only has some pre-Muse sometimes; that’s kinda the thing here and yet she still just makes the top 20.
If we did top Lover-Starlet’s, that would be a HIGHLY COMPETITIVE field in Bollywood with a Top 100 list as well as an ACTIVE annual top 10 industry list, but that’s not what this is.
That she holds only some pure Muse codes historically doesn’t take ANYTHING away from her Beauty; she’s a model for MANY women to look up to and the world should hope for MORE of such alluring true beauty as Alia’s!
Hey look! Alia Bhatt made a MET Gala’s most alluring top 10 list! Check that out here.
SO….with that said; we conclude the top 20 Bollywood Muses of all time list!
It just sounds better to highlight the Top 10 tbh.
Btw; through time, anyone can learn to practically read and sense the feminine archetype visual essence signatures by the way (check out more psychic celebrity readings on the blog and my FB).
It’s not about my personal subjective opinion, it’s about accurately and objectively READING the archetypal embodiment of different archetypes professionally.
THIS information can be used FOR women around the world who aren’t even celebrities but those want to cultivate their OWN version of Lover-Starlet or whatever archetypes their soul desires to be felt and visually expressed in THEIR professional image.
I work with women all over the world doing exactly this with the allure consulting and transformational activations (appointments).
That means I can read YOUR primary and secondary archetypes as well as how much of them YOU have embodied.
This can fluctuate through time; sometimes Manisha is more of Vixen than Lover for example in different sequences; this can all be read to help have more visual Beauty and performance mastery.
The Muse priestesses are also trained to do this work and transformation.
Ok…how’d you feel about the top 20 extension?
Maybe you are now more introduced to other starlets and may be inspired to follow their work.
Bollywood starlets are ICONS OF GREAT BEAUTY. Here, we were taking an archetypal exploration through the lens of Muse. Again; this doesn’t take anything AWAY from any of their legacies and tbh, I think you may agree that it actually enhances several of theirs (and powerfully so).
"Yeah but what about starlet x?"
“Yeah but what about Priyanka Chopra, Rion…or ‘starlet-x’ who you didn’t include”?
Sorry…just not enough Muse embodiment to make the top 20 (and I’ve looked)! It doesn’t take away from her legacy (and I’d love to work with her).
That’s not to say that others couldn’t value her AS a muse (with less actual muse) and I don’t want to take anything away from anyone; we do however want to bring CLARITY here and yes that may trigger some people.
Remember ANYONE can be read for archetypal embodiment and expression historically for different archetypes and this variable will fluctuate.
Not all starlets are MEANT to embody a lot of Muse; most often it has to do with soul qualities and their spiritual growth as an artist (to stick with certain archetypes).
Can you INCREASE and improve your relationship and embodiment with Muse? Yes. It may require more sacrifice and soul alignment to do so however.
Sometimes Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn are embodied as a real, alchemical muse and more often; just what I would refer to as pre-Muse where it’s a more minimal essence quality in her allure (a.k.a. ‘felt beauty-presence’).
This essence embodiment reality and objective-valued psychically accurate logos stands whether you are triggered or not no matter what they mean personally to you.
We have to work professionally with the archetypes and other essences (siddhic, elemental) and with accuracy and without personal feelings, projections, attachments and distortions clouding the way.
Final Thoughts...
I have made a corollary ‘Additional Thoughts‘ post here which is an extension of the Bollywood Top 10 Muse list (links open in new window).
Respect to ALL of the Indian film industry Bollywood starlets as well as all of the other starlets who didn’t make this list.
Bollywood is SUCH a cultural powerhouse churning out movies that CENTRALIZE music far more than Hollywood does. I can’t even begin to speak to how impressive and sourced the flow and forms of dance are.
Sure; in the bigger picture…K-Pop simply continues to hold dominion as the Muse mecca and has an infra-structure of support that allows muses to thrive but Bollywood has real Muse legacy and power as well (although Lover and Starlet and by far led).
I am available for professional allure consulting (including archetype reading) and transformational allure makeover work (including for the world’s TOP performers, stars and starlets).
