Anushka Sharma: She is growing as an actress
And the film actors who get the maximum votes from our judges are...
Sonakshi Sinha
‘I would never do a size zero’
Move over Vidya Balan, here’s another curvaceous, classic Indian beauty whose performance (and curves!) won everyone over in her debut film, Dabangg. “And honestly, I don’t think I would ever do a size zero because it’s so unhealthy!” she says. “Indian women are naturally curvaceous and I am proud of my curves.” With four films coming up, the year ahead looks busy for Sinha. There’s Joker with Akshay Kumar, Race 2 with Saif and John Abraham and of course, Dabangg 2 with Salman Khan. “So it will be work and more work,” she says. “Hopefully.”

Prateik
‘Will I fail public expectations?’
I’m very excited and nervous at the same time about Dhobi Ghat. What I am scared about is, how will Bollywood audiences react to a delicate film like that. Will I fail public expectations? Especially when I don’t know what they are!” That’s actor Prateik on his new Kiran Rao-directed film, releasing next month.
Prateik got noticed for his brooding good looks and restrained performance in his debut film, Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na. And he tops our list of the actors to watch out for the second year running. “When I did Jaane Tu..., I was still testing the waters before taking a final leap,” he says. “But after Dhobi Ghat, I am sure. To achieve such recognition so early on is always very encouraging.”

*Will be seen in Kiran Rao’s directorial debut, Dhobi Ghat
Who is Varun Dhawan?
Even Lord Google fails to throw up any concrete answers to that question. There’s precisely one photograph in Google Images (copyrighted, so we can’t even show you what he looks like here!) and little else.
Here’s what we do know though: Varun is film director David Dhawan’s younger son and is all poised to be the new (star) kid on the block in tinsel town. He is going to make his debut in 2011 in – get this – a movie being produced and directed by none other than Karan Johar. The movie will reportedly star only newcomers (which is a first for Johar).
We tried hard to reach Varun, but sources tell us he has been banned from speaking to the media. Oh well!
