And so here we bring to you instances when our B-town actresses packed some powerful punches and were not less than a man on the celluloid. In fact, much more than the other gender.

1. ‘The Test Case’ featuring Nimrat Kaur

First on our list is this web series which features one of the ace actresses from Bollywood, Nimrat Kaur. In the show, the viewers will witness some phenomenal acting chops from the actress where she is shown fearless, challenge accepting and most importantly fighting against all the odds in the male-dominated profession. Though the antagonist Bhuvan Arora gets to punch Nimrat down and out, he explains why this is different.

My character in the series has grey shade. He is the poster boy of MCP and can’t be defeated by a woman at any cost. It was a complex journey because being beaten up by a women can be a big ego crusher. But for good to prevail you need bad. Coincidently I had an action sequence with Taapsee too in Naam Shabana. But if to give out a message that women are no less than men in any way I have to take a few punches on screen I am more than happy to take them
