With Greta Gerwig’s latest film based on the iconic Mattel doll coming close, the world around us is slowly but, steadily turning pink and dreamy. And, amidst all these cotton candy clouds lies the thought about which Indian actors as Barbie would be as perfect as the glass slipper on Cinderella’s feet. You will be denying yourself a world of possibilities and imagination if you say you are not intrigued just by the thought of it.
If you are on the team of dreams and imagination, then we got you covered. Here is a list where we have some of the most Barbie-like actors in the Indian industry. So sit back and walk through this list with us and let that excitement rise!
10 Indian Actors as Barbie Who Fit the Part Perfectly
Katrina Kaif
In all honesty, none of us thought this list would begin in any other way. The Phone Bhoot actress has all the right moves and just the right looks that will make her the perfect Barbie. In fact, we would take a leap and say that she is a fair contender to Margot Robbie’s version of the world’s favourite doll. To prove our point, here is a fact: Kaif is the first Indian actor to ever have a Barbie doll modelled after her. How cool is that!
Aditi Rao Hydari
From Khilji’s wife in Padmaavat to the girl-next-door in Sufiyum Sujatayum, Hydari’s has always been a stunner in her films. With her glassy dark brown eyes that emote a billion words, this Indian beauty would be an ideal choice. The actor’s fashion statement is always so brilliant and doll-like that it is impossible to not imagine her on this list. Moreover, she has always been an actor who has taken risks with her filmography, shying away from absolutely nothing, making us believe in her potential more with every other movie.

Shruti Haasan
The Salaar’s actor is recently giving a very dark pop-star, punk Barbie vibes and we are loving it! Scrolling through Haasan’s Instagram feed you would stumble across more black than pink but, that does not take her out of this list because of her being unapologetically cute and real. Remembering her through all her films, be it Ramaiya Vastavaiya or Oh My Friend, she is one easy fit from any frame. Maybe, her comeback film could be an Indian version of what Gerwig is going to put out in July.
Dia Mirza Rekhi
First things first, we do not believe you if you say that you never at one point in life not have a crush on the Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein actress! Now, that we have ‘that’ out of the line, let us tell you how Mirza is actually the Barbie we truly need. A humanitarian at heart, she is the one who would use her doll house privileges to send out the message that would save the earth, no kidding. The Kaafir actor has been crowned Femina Miss India Asia Pacific 2000, so there is no debate about how organically she would match the role to play the well-loved Mattel doll.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu
Samantha is the biggest name in the industry right now and, rightly so. She is so graceful, charming and adorable, it would be a crime to not fall in love with her, to not list all her acting calibre and say how wonderfully she promises herself to a role and fulfils it, to not remember all the times she has inspired women to host their head up high and truly be themselves. She is set to play the iconic titular character in Shaakuntalam, so you can clearly understand why she has to be an important part of this listicle.
Deepika Padukone
Every time we think about the Pathaan actor in this role, we are automatically reminded of her red-carpet moments through the years. The most accurate representation of Barbie being: the 2019 MET Gala look by Zac Posen, her Ashi Studio pink gown at Cannes 2018, the Giambattista Valli dress at the 2019 Mumbai Film Festival and the Gaurav Gupta lilac gown at IIFA 2019. But this is just from the top of our heads because over the years Padukone has served us looks after looks, always mesmerizing us with her glamour.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Miss World 1973 and the queen of our hearts, this Bachchan family member is so breathtaking that we had to slow down and, take a long deep look at her. The Goodwill Ambassador for UNAIDS is a good fit, not only because her beauty is incomparable but, also because she is just the character that truly resonates with Gerwig’s representation of the iconic doll- a sleeping beauty woken up to bring change, similar to how Aish’s career has been.
Hansika Motwani
We have seen her in our favourite shows like Shaka Laka Boom Boom and, watched her be a leading lady in films like Villain and Singam II, in a lot of ways we have grown up with Hansika and followed her on her journey from television to films, all the while admiring her beauty and talent. The actor is a sight to behold and would make one helluva Barbie.
Rakul Preet Singh
Rakul Preet is talented, beautiful and, at this point somewhat the nation’s heartthrob. With her recent release, I Love You and, some big titles such as Indian 2 and Ayalaan lined up, this cutie would make for the perfect girl-next-door-barbie that is appreciative and ever-present with her kindness- two characteristics all films ever made on the Mattel doll has highlighted. Not to miss out on how adorable Singh looks in pink!
Kriti Sanon
Kriti might not be on everyone’s good list right now after playing Sita in Adipurush recently- a movie that has only received a negative range of emotions from the nation. However, we cannot miss out on all the times the actor made a place for herself in the world of cinema with heartwarming performances such as Bareilly Ki Barfi, Mimi and more.
