Top 5 of Trollywood

Results of the Top 5 Actresses of 2012 Poll are out. We provide not just the results of our scientific poll but also detailed analysis and response from all the stars themselves.

1.   Malini Nanku-Malhotra (2011 Rank - #1) For the seventh year in a row, Malini stays on top of Trollywood proving that with time, her popularity has only become stronger.  While her contemporaries have come and gone, she remains firmly on top of her game. We believe that the key to her success lies in her ability to keep changing according to the times and play a wide range of roles. Few years ago Malini realized that she was being typecast as a being too traditional in films like Devdas, GMM, KANK and Silsila – Settlement of a Scam. She made a conscious decision to change her image because she knew that if she did not change, the audience would get tired of her.  The decision to transform into a glamorous avatar in Fashion paid dividends and she was able to catch the attention of the newer generation. Yet, she continues to impress by playing the mother of teenagers in We R Family followed by a sexy siren in Dostana which became the biggest blockbuster in history. Malini seemed to agree with our analysis “Whether it’s Sridevi , Madhuri, Katrina or Malini we have to keep surprising our fans. People get tired of the same expressions and they told me ki kya Malini tu har film mein wohi bakwas karti hai? So I changed my style. After Silsila, Fashion, Race, We R Family, Dostana and now Raaz-3, no one knows ki Malini agle film mein kaisi dikhegi? That is the RAAZ of my success. That is why I believe I am #1 because I keep the junta guessing and coming back for more.  After playing a pati vrati wife in Raaz-3, I will be playing a complete seductress in my next film JISM so watch out for that soon. As for the newcomers, they will come and go but I will stay on top because I keep changing myself according to times."

2.   Deepika Parajuli (2011 Rank #3) Deepika made heads turn in We R Family and even though the film flopped, she got noticed by everyone including BPP who signed her on for a 3-film deal. As soon as Natasha bowed out of the author backed role of Shanya in Raaz-3, Deepika stepped in and the rest is history. Natasha’s loss has certainly been Deepika’s gain as she now has the biggest blockbuster film in Trollywood to be proud of and also has taken over the #2 position which previously belonged to Natasha. She stated “Being just 2 films old, I could not be more thrilled that I am already #2 in Trollywood. And the fact that I have taken over Natasha's position just proves that she made a terrible mistake by rejecting this offer of lead role in Raaz-3. For now I want to stick to playing lead roles in similar big films. My next release is Jab Tak Hai Jaan with StarZ followed by another big film of BPP that I am trying my best to get into. Natasha's career is almost over as she has no more demand and being a Nepali, I can perfectly fit into all her roles. Malini has been at the top for so long and what goes up always comes down. As far as Shanata and Amritaa, they are known more for cheap controversies than films so they are no threat to me.  I believe with my fans support, I will meet my goal of being the next #1 actress of Trollywood in the next couple of years.” 
 

3.  Shanata Sanga: (2011 Rank # 6) Shanata shot to fame this year with her hit Desi Boyzz and has already bagged 2 films with StarZ and Karmic Productions. Signing a Bollywood film and being approached by several film makers in the UK has kept this international diva in the news. Shanata also has her eyes firmly placed on the #1 position. She says, “Ofcourse the journey (to get to #3) has been so difficult and a very long ride but I’m an independent strong transgender women who has my head firmly placed on my shoulders and my feet firmly placed on the ground. I know what I want in life and I will work hard to achieve it.”

4.   Amritaa: (2011 Rank # 4) Amrita continues to stay in the #4 position even though she had no releases in 2012. She has kept her fans updated with news and also by getting involved in several controversies. She says “I never stopped getting offers after my last release but did not have time for them because I was too focused on my business career. Not many people know that I was the original choice for Natasha’s role in Fashion and Malini's role in Dostana. Now that my business career is more stable, I have signed 2 films which will put me on top.  My next release is Jab Tak Hai Jaan opposite Rehan Khan followed by another big film under negotiations with BPP. Right now I want to establish myself fully. I have got many offers to strip but I want to focus on doing meaningful films that I can be proud of – not vulgar or adult films!”

5.   Natasha Rai: (2011 Rank #2) With no news or releases, Natasha is a classic case of “out of sight means out of mind.” Her career in Trollywood has nose dived . While her ex-rival Malini remains on top, Natasha has lost out and most people believe it’s over for her.  She did make heads turn in Raaz-3 but item numbers are never taken seriously. She’s been around for many years but unlike Malini, she has been typecast by doing the same type of role in every movie. Even Natasha seems to agree – “Its obvious that I have become less popular and I have less no of fans than before.  I think the main reasons could be that I have not been very versatile in choosing my roles and the audience has been tired of me. Also, I have reservation to appear in bikini as I don't have body for it and it will not suit my age and image. Malini looked great in Dostana and carried it off well. This helped her to retain her no.1 position despite lots of competition from the younger actresses like Deepika and Shinata. Kudos to her!” TrollyGossips announced last week that Natasha has been thrown out of Talaash which means that DARR will either make or break her career. If the film flops, 2012 will be the end of Natasha's career.
