Bollywood stars

Hindi film actors

Bollywood stars are the leading actors and celebrities of India's Hindi-language film industry, centered in Mumbai.

The term combines Bombay (Mumbai's former name) with Hollywood.

These performers often achieve enormous fame across South Asia and the global Indian diaspora: Shah Rukh Khan is one of the biggest Bollywood stars.

The industry's song-and-dance spectacles make its stars cultural icons.
