Katrina Kaif tops Google’s Zeitgeist list 2008… Is the most searched Bollywood celeb on the engine!
Katrina Kaif
Actor Katrina Kaif is gorgeous. Her past few films have performed well at the box office and the girl is enjoying her increasing popularity. Kat as she is fondly called is also popular because of her romantic liaison with boyfriend Salman Khan, who is a star in his own right!
Aishwarya Rai
In spite of her change in marital status, this most beautiful woman in the world has lost her popularity. Having married Abhishek Bachchan, and holding steadfastly the status of ‘Bachchan Bahu’, we guess she has upped curiosity levels.
Salman Khan
Actor Salman Khan’s films may not be faring too well at the box office. But the lad still out-beats Aamir and Shah Rukh Khan in Google’s Zeitgeist list (2008). We guess Salman has a different connect with his fans altogether. And his outspoken statements – be it on the SRK-Sallu war, too, could well be an attraction of sorts.
Hrithik Roshan
Actor Hrithik Roshan hasn’t been on the scenes for a while now. Maybe that’s the reason fans want to know what this handsome dude is upto. Or maybe then they just wish to have hottie Hrithik Roshan on their desktop… drool! His nest release, by the way, is Kites , produced by Rakesh Roshan and directed by Anurag Basu.
Kareena Kapoor
Actor Kareena Kapoor is a hottie. Her size zero figure has raised eyebrows, and she has become Bollywood bindaas babe, what with her bikini clad avatar in Tashan. Kareena is currently shooting for Kambakht Ishq , and is believed to be quite oomphy in that one too! Her love affair with actor Saif Ali Khan and tendency to call a spade a spade makes her quite an interesting celeb to track.
Shahid Kapoor
Actor Shahid Kapoor’s popularity comes from his ‘chocolate boy’ looks. The actor received many a sympathy vote when he broke up with actress Kareena Kapoor. His film Jab We Met made him a wonder-star, too. Often likened to Aamir Khan in terms of professionalism and to Shah Rukh Khan as far as looks are concerned, you can’t ignore Shahid Kapoor who is now making a mark of his own.
Deepika Padukone
Actor Deepika Padukone stole our hearts in Om Shanti Om . She’s a looker, na, what to do! After being the chosen one for Shah Rukh Khan-starrer OSO , her debut film, the girl was known as a ‘fast girl’. Talks of a torrid affair with cricketer Yuvraj Singh were heard of, and then buzz had it that the actress dumped him for Ranbir Kapoor. Now going steady, Deepika is confident and is making her way slowly to the top!
Shah Rukh Khan
Surprise, surprise! We expected actor Shah Rukh Khan to be in the Top 5 at least… Anyway, the man has charm, wit and an impressive fan base, so much so that his film Rab NeBana Di Jodi has ensured serpentine queues at ticket counters. Known for his humour and quotable quotes, Shah Rukh is also famous for his attempts to be and maintain the No. 1 spot in Bollywood.
Mallika Sherawat
Actor Mallika Sherawat is Controversy’s Child. Though she has stayed away from the media for some time now, the lady has some loyal fans, who just can’t get enough of her. Known for her hot bod, Mallika Sherawat is trying hard to do some meaningful cinema. Her camaraderie with Jackie Chan is well known and the sexy actor has been a part of a few international ventures, too.
Genelia D’Souza
Actor Genelia D’Souza touched our hearts in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na .. Her pleasant demeanour and characterization has made her quite the next door girl. Making her mark slowly but surely in Bollywood, Genelia is already a sensation down South. Next, the girl will be seen in Anees Bazmee’s film It’s My Life .

Sushmita Dutta

juhi-chawla
Ask any fan of Bollywood movies about the heroine with the best
smile and a terrific comic sense and they would
promptly say Juhi Chawla. Whether it was on the ramp or in the acting field, she set the screen on fire!
Her extraordinary acting skills are incredible. She gave some fine performances in her career and vied for the top spot in Bollywood, giving tough competition to some of her contemporary divas like aMadhuri Dixit, Karisma Kapoor and Kajol.
Juhi Chawla was born on 13th November, 1967 to Dr. S Chawla and Mona in Ludhiana, Punjab. She graduated from Sydenham College in Mumbai. But Juhi was meant to reach for the stars. In 1984, she took part in the Miss India contest and came out as the winner. She was crowned as Miss India and went on to represent the country at the Miss Universe pageant in Miami, USA. She could not win the crown but came back with the Best Costume Award.
From beauty pageants, she slowly entered the big world of Bollywood. In 1986, she made her debut with the multi-starrer ‘Sultanat’. After that she did a few Kannada films but did not taste success. Then came the year 1988 and a Read the full story

We have seen her doing stunt scenes with lot of vigor. Well Priyanka has already been appreciated for her performance in
Don and now once again this beautiful actress is going to show her rough and tough side in Drona!
It is learned that Priyanka has an interesting role in Drona where she plays Abhishek’s bodyguard and thus walks away with better stunt scenes! We’ve heard that despite playing the lead role in Drona Abhishek has less action scenes than Priyanka! “She will be seen doing more action sequences than the actual hero of this film”, said our source.
Reportedly Priyanka has gone through some rigorous training to perform those difficult scenes swiftly. Interestingly after Hrithik Roshan and Harman Baweja, it is Abhishek who will now join the Superhero bandwagon.
But what if most of the action will be done by his heroine? A unit hand explains, “Priyanka’s role is equally interesting in the film but since Abhishek plays the lead role, he had to get more prominence thus its first trailer showcased Abhishek without Priyanka. There is nothing more than what meets the eye.”
Apparently director Goldie Behl has a different story to tell. He said, “We are working on some patchwork of the film and I don’t agree to the fact that Priyanka has not been given enough exposure in the trailer. We had planned to reveal Drona first and then other characters. Thus Priyanka’s presence in the film will be seen in our forthcoming trailer.”
Now only the film’s release will tell who is the real super-hero? Priyanka or Abhishek!

Sonam Kapoor’s stunning beauty has left her male admirers smitten since Saawariya and her ‘single’ status is only adding to her fan following!
However, we have news for all the men who fancy our darling young actress, it being Sonam is already besotted! Yes, Sonam too fancies a man who she considers as her favourite and just doesn’t mind singing his praises! She even has a clutch with his picture on it, which she likes to flaunt wherever she goes!
Now before you start pondering over the man in her life and ready yourself to compete against him, let us tell you that he is indeed special and competing with him would be impossible!
Phew! If you still can’t figure out who the guy is, let us reveal his name now.
Well, its BATMAN, we are talking about!
We had a chat with Sonam some time back and the bubbly girl was happy to share her excitement post watching Hollywood’s latest sleek pot-boiler – ‘The Dark Knight’. In an excited mood she said, “Batman has always been my favourite. I prefer him over Spiderman any day, after all us girls like dark, depressing tales! A man having a dark side to him is far more intriguing! I absolutely loved the film and Christian Bale’s uber cool…. I think it is the best super hero film I have ever seen!”
So all you men out there vying for Sonam’s attention, put on your superhero-attitude in full gear and allow the lady to unfold the mystery that lies within… only then you can be ideally her ‘Knight’ in shining armour!
