Intelligent, beautiful, traditional yet modern – such are the leading ladies in Chetan Bhagat’s novels. The women characters in his novels are mostly not the cynosure of the story, but are known to be feisty and make their own choices. So choosing an actress to play these characters is not a small task. With Kangana Ranaut being touted to play the protagonist in Chetan Bhagat’s latest novel One Indian Girl, here’s a look at all of Bhagat’s heroines.

Kareena Kapoor as Pia: Pia is nothing like a conventional heroine in 3 Idiots, adopted from 5 Point Someone, but Kareena impresses us as the smart, sensitive and impulsive Pia, who is a breath of fresh air in the hectic lives of Raju, Farhan and Rancho.
Gul Panag, Isha Koppikar and Amrita Arora as Priyanka, Esha and Radhika: There is the weakling Priyanka who lets other people in her life make her decisions, there is the ambitious Esha aspiring to be a model, and there is the devoted housewife Radhika; Bhagat’s One Night @ The Call Center was made into Hello and showed us three very different women in one story.

Amrita Puri as Vidya: Amrita as the rebellious Gujarati girl in Kai Po Che, adopted from 3 Mistakes of My Life, won our hearts. Even though she had a small role, she played her part perfectly as the quirky yet emotional Vidya.
