A nose ring is THE accessory that Indian women have been wearing for hundreds of years. Our very own Bollywood beauties have also been seen sporting the accessory in numerous movies. The fun thing about the nose ring is that each actress that wears it has been able to add it to their wardrobe in a different way! Each nose ring gave each look that extra oomph factor!

Here are 10 of our favorite Bollywood actresses that were born to wear nose rings!

1) SONAKSHI SINHA IN DABANGG 2: SIMPLE INDIAN BEAUTY

Sonakshi Sinha’s saree, her big gold earrings, mangalsutra, braided hair, sindoor, and last but not least, her nose ring helps her complete the simple Indian beauty look!

2) BIPASHA BASU IN BARSAAT: INDIAN BRIDAL LOOK

A typical Indian bridal look – The heavy lehenga, mehndi on the arms and hands, choodiyan, jhumkas and a necklace, with a nose-ring to top it off! Bipasha Basu wears a large hoop nose-ring, but she definitely pulls it off! Here’s hoping she wears a beautiful nose-ring to her real life wedding too!

3) PREITY ZINTA IN VEER ZAARA: THE HOPELESS ROMANTIC

Oh the magic of a good Yash Raj Movie! This scene is perfect, Preity Zinta’s emotions are on point, Kirron Kher and Divya Dutta are doing fabulous, and Preity Zinta has never looked better in a nose-ring than in this scene!

4) RANI MUKHERJEE IN BICHHOO: DON’T TRY TO MESS WITH ME!

If you want the typical bad-ass look with a nose ring, then Rani Mukherjee effectively pulls off the look in the entire movie Bichhoo! The black outfit, small tattoo, choker necklace and nose ring complete the entire look! Check out this scene to see for yourself!

5) Shraddha Kapoor in Ek Villain: Young and Hip

Even the newest actresses in Bollywood can’t stay away from the nose ring look! Shraddha Kapoor’s nose ring is subtle and simple, and it looks great on her! Just pause at 1:29 and see for yourself!

6) KARISMA KAPOOR IN DANGEROUS ISHQ: CLASSIC LOOK

When Karisma Kapoor made a come-back to Bollywood movies, she did it with the nose-ring! Her classic Indian outfits and jewellery definitely would have been incomplete without her nose-ring!

7) KAREENA KAPOOR IN AGENT VINOD: SUBTLE BUT EFFECTIVE

Well if big sister Karisma is doing it, what’s to keep little sister Kareena Kapoor behind? Kareena wore a stud instead of a hoop and it looked great on her! Kareena didn’t let the nose-ring distract from her look but used it to give an extra oomph factor to that pretty pink sharara!

8) KATRINA KAIF IN AGNEEPATH: SEXY ITEM GIRL LOOK

When Chikni Chameli came out, everyone was impressed with Katrina Kaif’s Indian look and the fact that she could break it down desi style! Katrina looked great in a nose-ring and it added to the overall feel of the song!

9) PRIYANKA CHOPRA IN RAM LEELA: STRAIGHT-UP SEDUCTIVE

Priyanka Chopra impressed everyone with her looks and moves in the title-track of Ram-Leela! She’s got the belly-button ring, tattoo on the torso, and of course a nose-ring to complete the look! She was definitely looking super Exotic and very much like our favourite Desi Girl in that song!

10) DEEPIKA PADUKONE IN RAM LEELA: PERFECTION

Well if Sanjay Leela Bhansali had Priyanka wearing a nose-ring in Ram-Leela, he wasn’t going to keep his lead actress behind! Deepika Padukone just looks perfect in this song, and no more needs to be said!
