Claim-to-fame: Leave alone the hits and flops, this hunk will always remain hot-property for all female fans. His movies Aashayein and Jhootha Hi Sahi didn't do much for him, yet he remains the perfect poster-boy. His fans are looking forward to his 'Full Monty' act in Dostana 2.

Claim-to-fame: The year started in a Housefull way for this khiladi, who had a line-up of big banner films. He 'conned' women into falling for him and made headlines with his signature comedy films. While 'Sheila' became a national sensation, this Tees Maar Khan was no less.
