Bollywood is full of talent coming from different places, cultures, and backgrounds. The beauty of Bollywood lies in its diverse talent base because each artist adds their personal talent and experience to this beautiful industry.
Some grew up in small towns, some in big cities, and some came from outside India, but today they all stand together in Bollywood.
Their stories are different, but the passion is the same. Fans don’t really look at religion when they love an actor; talent is what matters. This list is just for knowledge, nothing more.
So here is a look at 10 famous Christian actors and actresses in Bollywood in 2025 who continue to shine, inspire, and entertain audiences everywhere.
1. John Abraham
John Abraham has been one of Bollywood’s most recognizable faces for almost two decades now. Born to a Malayali Christian father and a Parsi mother, John grew up in Mumbai and stepped into films after modeling. People often remember him from Dhoom, where he played the cool thief on a bike, but his work stretches far beyond that. Over the years, John has balanced mass appeal with strong, meaningful films like Madras Cafe and Parmanu. His quiet personality and generosity off-screen make him even more respected.
2. Johnny Lever
If there is one name that instantly reminds people of laughter in Bollywood, it’s Johnny Lever. His original name is John Prakash Rao Janumala, but his stage name is Johnny Lever, which everybody knows. He was born in a Telugu Christian family in Mumbai. He didn’t come from wealth or shortcuts. He worked, struggled, performed at stage shows, and slowly found his way into films. What makes Johnny different is that he doesn’t “act” funny; actually, he is funny, and it is natural. He has given numerous hit movies. Even today, in 2025, Johnny’s presence brings a comforting kind of laughter. The kind that feels warm and familiar. And with his son Jesse Lever and daughter Jamie Lever entering comedy too, his legacy is only growing stronger.
3. Vikrant Massey
Vikrant Massey comes from a simple Christian family in Mumbai. There was no big launch or shortcuts waiting for him. He started with small roles on television. Just a few scenes here and there in the beginning. Slowly, step by step, he made his place in the industry.
What makes Vikrant different is that nothing about him feels forced. He never tries to “perform.” His acting feels like real real-life scene, like someone you might know.
From Chhapaak to Cargo to 12th Fail, Vikrant proved that you don’t need loud dialogues to make an impact. His strength comes from honest and real acting. In 2025, Vikrant stands among the most respected young actors in Bollywood.
4. Dino Morea
Dino is one of those actors who had a very distinct presence in early-2000s Bollywood. He was very stylish, relaxed, and charming. He was born in Bangalore into a Christian family. He started as a model and then acted in films like Raaz, which became a big success. Now though Dino is not so active on the big screen, he is still focusing his career on OTT-based series.
5. Katrina Kaif
Katrina’s journey is one of the most interesting ones. Born to a British Christian mother and raised across different countries, Katrina came to India when she was quite young and slowly worked her way up. She became one of Bollywood’s biggest actresses through sheer dedication and patience.
And yes, she is now married to Vicky Kaushal, who comes from a Hindu Punjabi family, but if we look at her identity before marriage, she comes from a Christian background.
Even after so many years, she remains one of the most graceful and admired actresses in Bollywood.
6. Jacqueline Fernandez
Jacqueline is originally from Bahrain, born into a Sri Lankan Christian family. She came into Bollywood almost by chance, but today she is one of the most popular actresses when it comes to dance, fashion, and screen presence. From Kick to Housefull and Race 3, Jacqueline has worked in films that reach a massive audience. And talking specifically about the popularity side of things, well, surely, she is among the most famous and highest paid actresses in Bollywood right now.
7. Vijay
Yes, the very famous superstar from the South Indian Cinema, who is also famous in Bollywood, comes from a Christian family. To be specific, his father is a Catholic Christian, and his mother is a Hindu. So from the very start, he grew up in a Christian family. By the way, his full name actually is Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar. And just in case you doubt his popularity, well, he has been part of super hit movies like Leo (2023), The Greatest of All Time, Bigil, Mersal, Master, etc.
8. Asin Thottumkal
Many movie lovers in India already know that Asin actually is a Christian actress, but not many know how she became famous. See, she used to play roles in Telugu/Tamil films, and back in 2003, when Amma Nanna O Tamila Ammayi came out, she became an overnight famous actress in Telugu cinema because of her impressive role in the movie. But, in Bollywood, she became famous with Gajini (2008). Before that, she had already played the same role in Gajini (2005) of the Tamil cinema.
9. Malika Arora
Many of you may just know Malika Arora as just a Punjabi or Hindu actress in Bollywood, right? But that’s not factually true, see, she was initially raised as a Roman Catholic because of her mixed family background. How and why? Well, that’s because her mother, Joyce Polycarp, is a Malayali Christian, and on the other hand, her father comes from a Punjabi Hindu background.
10. Ileana D’Cruz
In Bollywood, Ileana D’Cruz is also a famous name because she has been part of major hits like Rustom, Barfi, Pokiri, Raid, Phata Poster Nikla Hero, etc. And it is not a hidden fact that she has a Christian background because her name pretty much gives it away.
Conclusion
There you have it. If you wanted us to list down just the famous personalities in Bollywood who are Christian or have been raised as Christians, then without a doubt, you won’t find more popular actors and actresses than these. Plain and simple!
