Outlook magazine conducted an opinion poll on Bollywood actors and actresses for its “Bollywood special” issue. I don’t agree with some of the results. Most of the poll participants may not have seen movies like Mughal-E-Azam, Awara and Mother India etc. This is neither an in-depth poll nor serious survey. They have just asked some young boys and girls and published the results in the magazines as Times of India routinely did for its surveys.
Poll: Who are the best actors and actresses in Hindi cinema?
1. All-time favourite male star: Amitabh Bachchan.
2. All-time favourite female star: Aishwarya Rai. My favourite is Madhubala. How can I forget her performance in Mughal-E-Azam?
3. Most accomplished actor: Amitabh Bachchan. I like Amir Khan.
4. Most accomplished actress: Kajol.
5. Best comedy actor: Johnny Lever (He hailed from my native town Ongole).
6. Best Villain: Amrish Puri.
7. Actress with best figure: Shilpa Shetty.
8. Most stylish actor: John Abraham.
9. Best screen couple: Shahrukh Khan-Kajol. My choice is Raj Kapoor and Nargis.
10. Worst dresses: Rakhi Savant.
11. Best action hero: Akshay kumar.
12. Future star: Deepika Padukone.
Please share your opinion on Bollywood actors. These polls are cheap tactics by magazines to raise circulation figures.
