Here's how much money our successful Indian women minted in the past year.

Indian women in different industries like Bollywood, sports, comedy and reality TV have clearly rocked their respective fields and Forbes has proved the same through its headline-crashing India Celebrity 100 list -- which indicates who earned the most in the past year, based on their primary sources of income.

While actress Nayanthara is the only woman to make it to the list from the South Indian film industry, Deepika Padukone became the first woman celebrity to find place in the top five of the Forbes India Celebrity 100 list -- thanks to the commercial success of Padmaavat, and her brand endorsements.

According to editor of Forbes India Brian Carvalho, the annual Forbes India Celebrity 100 issue ranks film, sports, television, music, comedy and literary stars on their earnings and "while the ranking are a definitive barometer on earnings, the profiles could easily have degenerated into 'unidirectional narratives'."
