Chinese actress Fan Bingbing has been named the most influential celebrity in China by Forbes for three years in a row. While the vast majority of her work has been in her homeland, comic book fans will know her as Blink in X Men: Days of Future Past.
Meanwhile, Deepika Padukone has starred in some of the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time and become one of India's most beloved and ubiquitous personalities.
While they remain minor players in Hollywood, their enormous success in their native countries is enough to propel Bingbing and Padukone into the global top ten.
