New kids on the block

Here to stay: Shivaleeka Oberoi

Whether it’s her sartorial choices or her role opposite Vardhan Puri in Yeh Saali Aashiqui, this young damsel is one to watch out for! Hailing from a non-film family, she has impressed audiences and critics alike and is one of the very few actors, who signed her second film even before her first one hit the silver screen!

Popular figure: Ananya Panday

From her nuanced acting to her young girl charm, Ananya has sure made a splash with just two films to her credit. With just the right mix of humour and honesty in every public appearance, she has managed a large following across the country.

Boy! Is he good: Siddhant Chaturvedi

One of the most special finds of this year was Siddhant Chaturvedi. Delivering an absolutely memorable performance in Gully Boy, he found instant stardom. He also has a huge fan following for his fitness and boy-next-door looks.

Romantic start: Karan Deol

Sunny Deol’s son Karan Deol marked his debut with the film, titled Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas. Directed by Sunny himself, the film’s title is taken from Sunny’s father and veteran actor Dharmendra’s famous song Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas from the movie, Blackmail.

Action zone: Karan Kapadia

Dimple Kapadia’s nephew and Twinkle Khanna’s cousin Karan made his debut with Blank. An action thriller, Blank, revolves around the life of a suicide bomber, essayed by Karan. It also stars Sunny Deol.

Winsome student: Tara Sutaria

Having her style game always on point, Tara Sutaria is a delicate but powerful package. Making her B-town debut with Student of the Year 2, she quickly made a place for herself in fans’ hearts with her beautiful smile and love for fashion.

Note worthy: Pranutan Bahl

Actor Mohnish Bahl’s daughter also made her debut. Pranutan kick-started her Bollywood innings this year with superstar Salman Khan’s production, Notebook. Unfortunately, the film failed to impress the audience at the Box Office.

All for content: Abhimanyu Dassani

Choosing a unique film like Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota for his debut, Abhimanyu Dassani displayed exemplary skill in every shot proving he is an actor driven by content and story.

Genetically endowed: Vardhan Puri

With Amrish Puri as his grandfather, this young lad has acting in his blood. His debut film Yeh Saali Aashiqui allowed him to showcase his talent and what a splendid job he has done!
