I think it is Sridevi. She has acted in many languages Hindi telugu tamil and managed to be the top actress in all of them. She could do comedy so well that she become a benchmark for all other actresses that came after her. In her films it did not matter who the hero was. She made a successful comeback after 15 years with English vinglish. She is without doubt the greatest heroine in bollywood.
