Five Indian actresses have managed to find a place in the list of '100 Most Beautiful Faces Of 2017'. This is a list prepared by TC Candler's Independent Critics, which is claimed to be aimed at informing and broadening public opinion instead of reflecting it.
It has been around 28 years since the list is being prepared annually. Over the years, it has made a name for itself with a large number of people anticipating it worldwide every year. While in previous years the likes of Emma Watson and Emilia Clarke had topped the list, this year it is a slightly unexpected face-- of the 19-year-old Liza Soberano-- topped the chart. Liza is a Filipino-American actress.
Explaining the thought behind the selection criteria and process, The Independent Critics mentions on the website, “Aesthetic perfection is only one of the criteria. grace, elegance, originality, daring, passion, class, poise, joy, promise, hope… they are all embodied in a beautiful face. With those criteria in mind, TC Candler and the members select only 100 faces out of the approximately 85,000 female celebrities (which works out to less than 0.0012%).”
The list bears a huge significance in India as each year some Bollywood actresses find a place in the list. This year from India, five Bollywood actresses have managed to get a spot, which is considered a big recognition for their beauty. The chosen ones are as follows in the reverse order:
