It is International Women’s Day and what better way than to appreciate how our Sandalwood queens have stood as an example for the women of today. Be it health, fashion or parenting skills, the beauties of the Sandalwood industry have got it all!
Here are the top five actresses of the industry who inspire us and are ultimate #goals for every woman.

The hottest of them all, our Whatevrr actress Samyukta Hegde is giving us health goals with her perpetual motivation to workout and keep our body and mind healthy. Apart from being able to do a deadly headstand, Samyukta is conscious about her well-being and therefore not only goes to the gym on a daily basis but also practices yoga to keep her mental health in check.

Rachita Ram started out her career with the serial Arasi. Not only did she grab eyeballs with this role but is continuing to do exceedingly well with around nine films of hers releasing this year! Filled with simplicity, Rachita is humble but bubbly and a treat to the eyes when on-screen.

Speaking of looking great without putting in too much effort, no one but Aindrita can slay a look as simple as a T-shirt. She’s expressive, lively and might we add that she’s on point with her outfits. While her fashion is always up to date, it doesn’t end there. Her style is reflective of her personality and brings out the bold side to her.

The very beautiful Priyanka Upendra gives us mom goals! Having given birth to two children—Ayush and Aishwarya, Priyanka strikes a perfect balance between being a perfect mommy to her two children and doing a commendable job in films too. The actress has also focused on her health pre and post-birth.

Sruthi Hariharan is socially active and opinionated when it comes to issues of society. She was also recently seen being part of #WeTheWomen along with her mother to address women-related issues.

We’re all aware of Shraddha Srinath’s weight loss story. The actress lost around 18 kgs but what’s inspiring is that she did so in a really short span of time. She took baby steps with regard to her diet and health and is truly an inspiration. Done in a simple way, she started off with walks, then progressed to running and amidst all this, stuck to eating healthy food. For all those who want to become fit, follow the Shraddha way of doing it!
