2007 for Bollywood was nothing less than a surprise element. Apparently the year was quite unusual for the film industry in terms of events, films, promotions, box office disasters, popular controversies, gossips, etc�but what really made Bollywood talk of the tinsel town was 'THE NEWCOMERS'. This year Bollywood seemed to show more curiosity in inundating the debutants heartily, publicizing them at larger extent. Few debuts managed to be in the limelight beyond their films. And the most amazing element about these newcomers was that they were made brand endorsers for giant Brands like Reebok, Wrangler and Levis Strauss...etc

Attitude babe Jiah Khan
She was the foremost lady on Bollywood chart of debutants to make a remarkable entry with Shehnshah Bachchan (Amitabh bachchan). With her self-assured attitude and laudable bold performance, she managed to be one of the most promising new competitors in the market. While many other established actors crave to share screen space with the megastar of Bollywood, this 19 year teenage full of liveliness easily got her hands on the opportunity to act in a big banner (RGV) and with megastar Mr. Bachchan. Ramu is well known for his experimental cinema and launching new faces, Jiah was assumed to be next big thing in the RGV factory. She also appeared in one of the sexy music videos lending her voice and recently being the first wrangler girl to endorse it (earlier John was the brand endorser). This debut seems to be here to enjoy only the larger chunk of pie, as her next flick being with perfectionist Aamir Khan Let's wait to see her how far she heads!



Endearing Hansika Motwani

She was one of the eye-openers for the industry, not just Bollywood but even television industry was bewildered to discover this girl's entry as an actress. She has been a talented child artist, just 3-4 years back, who performed memorable roles in many pictures and the TV serials popularly in Ekta Kapoor's most famous daily soap 'kyunki...' and Hrithik Roshan starrer film KOI MIL GAYA. She emerged in news because of her debut as a leading actress in Bollywood with none other than Himesh Reshammiya in AAP KAA SURROOR. She happens to be youngest of all and looks equally cute; she made a bright mark through her fabulous performance. Well she began her career quite early like Karishma Kapoor, one will have to wait and see if she does get a similar response!



Stunning Urvashi Sharma
The mesmerizing beauty made her debut in Bollywood with Abbas-Mastan's romantic thriller NAQAAB opposite stars Bobby Deol and Akshaye Khanna with her reasonable performance. Though she got recognition because of her few bold scenes and signing an 8-film deal with TIPS, but the film bombed at the ticket window. Delhi based damsel landed in city of dreams Mumbai to accomplish her aspirations. Before stepping in films she already made her presence felt in a few ads and music videos, eminent one being Atif Aslam's 'Doorie', where she made her face and tears do all the talking. Well, even we are waiting for her 8 films with Tips to come!



Simple Sagarika Ghatge
Chak de fame Preeti Sabarwal aka Sagrika Ghatge can't just get enough from the amount of response she got. Though it happens to be SRK's film and the entire chak de team (of girls) have equally performed well, but Sagarika managed to set her unique spot through her strong character (Preeti Sabarwal), which also made her the recent and first girl brand ambassador for Reebok and also endorsing Babita Malkani, renowned Fashion designer's, collection 'Freedom'. After Jiah Khan and Deepika Padukone she happens to be another lucky one to debut with superstar. Well we hope the same performance to continue from her forthcoming movies!



Sizzling Sayali Bhagat
Ex-Miss India World 2004, like other beauty contest winners she too stepped in the film industry to make a big name. She made her debut with THE TRAIN: SOME LINES SHOULD NEVER BE CROSSED, co-staring Emraan Hashmi and Geeta Basra. The film bombed at the box office and couldn't fetch enough recognition for her. She happens to be a brand ambassador for 'Kisna Jwellery'. We hope Sayali can make a mark through her films and not through hearsay!



Charming Gaddar Neil Nitin Mukesh
His magical performance has already cast its spell. From the very first movie JOHNNY GADDAR he astonished the filmmakers through his awesome performance. While the film didn't perform outstandingly well at ticket counters, but his performance enticed filmmakers like Sudhir Mishra to quickly sign him. His upcoming flick is TERA KYA HOGA JOHNNY? (Seems like he considers 'Johnny' to be lucky). He is the son of singer Nitin Mukesh and the grandson of the noted singer Mukesh. This khandani boy rather chose to act than continue the trend of play back singing like his family. He also did a cameo as child artist in JAISI KARNI WAISI BHARNI (1989). We surely hope this Johnny aka Neil to climb the ladder through his hardworking performance and not through gaddari.



Tall beauty Nikita Anand
Ex-Miss India Universe of 2003 made her debut under Prakash Jha productions without making much noise. Film DIL, DOSTI, ETC. did a quiet entry and managed to do some business. The film could not sustain much at the box office and also the gorgeous Nikita Aanad went unnoticed. She couldn't acquire enough space to deliver her acting skills, as the film seemed to be entirely in the pockets of Shreyas Talpade. Well we wish her luck for the coming Bollywood year; hope this time she gets noticed and enough platforms to perform.



Effervescent Sonam Kapoor
Daughter of the ever-so-young 'lakhans' Anil Kapoor, initially assisted headstrong director Sanjay Leela Bhansali in his film BLACK. This new entrant in Bollywood has already amassed Stardom tag even before the much hyped SAAWARIYA released. Though her film failed to retain the audience, but the amount of stardom she pulled off because of too many factors like her being a star kid, making a debut with big banner and director, starring opposite star kid Ranbir Kapoor, cut throat competition against SRK's OSO, her being constantly compared with Deepika Padukone was more than enough to get the publicity and make a presence in the directors' 'most wanted' list. Her performance was also quite good. Currently she is filming for upcoming flick DILLI 6. Hope this Papas Girl does really well like her father Anil Kapoor has achieved!



A Kapoor 'Chirag' Ranbir Kapoor
He is on top of the hot list of Bollywood debutants. He has already started bagging awards, like the recent one being Star's Sabsey Favourite Kaun Awards, Sabsey Favourite Naya Hero Son of Neetu Singh Kapoor & Rishi Kapoor and Grandson of Showman Raj Kapoor is under sky-scraping expectations to continue the eternal Kapoor filmy tradition. After Hrithik Roshan, He's being expected as a next big thing in Bollywood and female charmer. What makes a win-win situation for him is that he not only looks handsome, but also carries sincerity in his performance. If his performance persists in the similar fashion, surely this lad will take the Kapoor Khandaan on Cloud Nine. We definitely would love to see this boy following the footprints of his grandfather and father and take the Kapoor flag higher in days to come.



Flawless beauty Deepika Padukone
The next big thing and most sought after actor in the current calendar. This dazzling model turned leading debut actor marked her prominence even before the release of the film OSO. Infact, because of this stardom she is the only and first debutant who did maximum endorsements this year. Despite the fact that she is just one film old she is already positioned as the most promising superstar for upcoming years. Very few people get an opportunity to share a screen space with the superstar Shahrukh khan and Deepika happens to be one such fortunate artist. Because of her larger than life exposure and stardom she is the newest demand of directors, she is being compared with the queen of Bollywood Aishwarya Rai. Hope this spanking new beauty continues to capture million hearts as she is doing now!
