Call it the 'I-have-nothing-to-lose-now' syndrome or just Cupid taking revenge on their exes, actresses seem to be climbing the ladder of super success post their break-ups. With more and more Bollywood beauties joining this list, we take a look at the top five...read on:

Katrina Kaif: Well, she's the obvious leader in this category, what with her transformation making even her sworn non-fans sweat. Post her public break-up with Ranbir Kapoor, she not just shed kilos to attain a sexy kamar, but also pulled up her acting game! We can't wait for Baar Baar Dekho, can we?!

Deepika Padukone: Ranbir Kapoor is sure lucky for his ex-girlfriends. When Deepu was seeing him, she enjoyed mediocre success, sure. But once the two parted ways, Deepika became the next big thing or B-Town. Clearly, break-up has done her a world of good as she is eying at massive success in Hollywood too. Woohoo!

Priyanka Chopra: There have been many rumours of her alleged affairs, including those with Shahid Kapoor and Harman Baweja. Even though she never admitted to being with anybody, the gossip mills couldn't stop churning...but now the actress is a global icon and a face that can launch a thousand ships.

Kangana Ranaut: She's never shied away from her relationships. Whether it was her alleged abusive one with Aditya Pancholi or the more recent one with Hrithik Roshan, Kangs has always believed in wearing her heart on her sleeves. Now that she's away from matters of the dil, she's ruling Bollywood like no other. From picking up National Awards to winning laurels from all quarters of the world, Kangna is THE queen of the glam world.

Anushka Sharma: Even though she debuted opposite Shah Rukh Khan, success eluded her for a while. But after her supposed separation from Ranveer Singh, the actress delivered massive hits and even turned producer! Well, isn't that great? Not just that, Anushka has many more interesting projects in her kitty.

More power to you, ladies! And more power to the men too *winks*
