Lady Shri Ram College's Famous Alumni: Every year, as board exam season ends and college admission conversations begin, one institution repeatedly finds itself in aspirational discussions among students across India - Delhi's famed Lady Shri Ram College for Women . Known for producing politicians, entrepreneurs, journalists and scholars, the college has also quietly built an enviable list of alumni in the entertainment industry.

Over the years, several accomplished actresses who now dominate cinema, television and OTT platforms once walked through the red-brick corridors of LSR, proving that academic excellence and showbiz success can comfortably coexist. From mathematics graduates turning into powerhouse performers to literature students finding fame in films, these women have taken very different routes to stardom - but all share one prestigious academic connection.

Here is a look at 10 actresses who studied at Lady Shri Ram College for Women before making it big on screen.

Aditi Rao Hydari

Aditi Rao Hydari pursued her graduation at LSR after her schooling years, spending part of her youth in Hyderabad before moving to Delhi. In earlier interviews, she has spoken about how her return to work in Telugu cinema later in life felt deeply personal, almost like reconnecting with her roots.

Raashii Khanna

Before entering films, Raashii Khanna was known to be academically brilliant. As reported by MensXP, she completed her BA (Honours) in English from LSR and had once aspired to become an IAS officer before modelling and acting changed her career trajectory.

Did you know? Raashii has publicly said acting was never part of her original life plan.

Sakshi Tanwar

Long before becoming one of Indian television's most recognisable faces, Sakshi Tanwar studied Economics at LSR. She was actively involved in theatre during college - an experience that helped shape her acting foundation.

Sayani Gupta moved from Kolkata to Delhi for higher education and completed her graduation from LSR before later training at the Film and Television Institute of India in Pune.

Rasika Dugal

One of the most critically acclaimed actors of her generation, Rasika Dugal studied Mathematics at LSR before pursuing further education in social communications and acting.
