Bollywood's BEST DRESSED actresses of 2013

There's never a dull moment in the Bollywood fashion scene.

At any given point of time, someone is either making headlines for a radical makeover (case in point: the exceptional turn-around of Kajol) or consistent faux paus (Vidya Balan at Cannes).

Here, we take a look at the best dressed ladies of 2013.

Deepika Padukone
When she's not starring in back-to-back blockbusters, Deepika Padukone can be seen making a splash at the numerous various social dos Bollywood loves to throw every now and then.

While her statuesque frame and fine features make sure that none of her public appearances go unnoticed, this particular Prabal Gurung gown she wore to the 2013 Filmfare awards stood out for, well, obvious reasons.

'Working in a Tamil film is less stressful'

S Saraswathiin Chennai

Shamna Kasim, aka Poorna, a talented actress from Kannur, in Kerala, made her debut in Tamil cinema with Bharath starrer Muniyandi Vilangiyal Moonramaandu. 

Poorna has worked in several Malayalam films, is a huge hit in the Telugu film industry, and has also worked in a couple of Kannada films. 

A trained classical dancer, Poorna's powerful performance in the recently released Thagararuearned her a lot of attention and made her popular overnight. She was also appreciated for her performance in director Karu Pazhaniyapan's Janal Oram. 

With two hits in a row, and awaiting the release of Padam Pesum and Arjunan Kadhali, Poorna is all set to take the Tamil film industry by storm.

Here Poorna talks to S Saraswathi about her success.

How does it feel to have two back-to-back hits, Janal Oram and Thagararu?

I did not have any releases last year and with 2013 coming to an end, I was actually hoping for the release of at least one of my films. So it was really a huge surprise that both the films released within a week of each other.

I am so happy with the positive response. To be honest, I had lost my confidence and really needed a hit.

It feels great when people congratulate you and tell you how much they enjoyed the performance.

As the year comes to an end, we look back at the highs and lows in the film industry.

Here, we look at the steamiest on-screen kisses of 2013.

Locking lips on silver screen neither breaks any spells nor turns over friendly frogs into Prince Charmings.

Introduced for the sole purpose of highlighting the crackling chemistry between the lead actors in love or lend an otherwise ‘thanda’ script some sensationalist spice, kissing is no longer a Bollywood taboo.

The year 2013 saw quite a few torrid mouth-to-mouth moments. Here are the ones competing for the Kiss of the Year title. Which one gets your vote?

Goliyon Ki Raas Leela-Ram Leela

Even before Sanjay Leela Bhansali was out with his latest extravaganza, hero Ranveer Singh piqued everyone’s curiosity by calling his on-screen kiss with rumoured girlfriend and Ram Leela co-star Deepika Padukone the ‘best ever you’ll see in a Hindi movie.’

Undoubtedly, it IS loaded, uninhibited stuff.

As for Singh’s enthusiastic exaggeration? We’ll treat it as just that.
