An actor has to play many different roles to impress the audience or corner the market. Sometimes he steps in the shoes of an officer, a villain or sometimes they even become mentally unstable or a serial killer according to the need of the script. The Bollywood industry has made its audiences witness a lot of instances where an actor took the challenge of playing a female character in the movie. While some of them aced the role with a sweet voice and soft body language some of them failed to hide their machoism. We give you a list of 10 male actors that perfected the role of a female on the silver screen:
