Natasha Rai Crowned The New #1 Actress

In an unprecedented and historic manner, Natasha Rai has been crowned the new Numero Uno actress of Trollywood. T-Fare carried out our annual poll, allowing viewers to vote for as many actresses as they want - since most people like more than 1 actress. Carrying a staggering 84% of the total votes cast, Natasha Rai has proved that she's overwhelmingly the favorite of almost all Trollywood viewers in 2014!

Natasha started her career as Sash Rai and with a career spanning over 10 years, she proved that slow and steady wins the race. She lived under the shadows of Malini Nanku for over a decade as the number 2 actress. Then 3 years ago, at a time when rivals were experimenting with bold roles, Natasha was doing roles that were considered too conservative and "plain Jane" for Trollywood. Critics at the time had dismissed off her career as being over. However, in late 2012 she made a stunning comeback, dropped oodles of weight and started getting noticed again. By early 2013 her bold and sensuous new avatar in BPP's Darr 2 was the talk of the town. All of these incidents set the stage for her to become Trollywood's most in demand actress in 2014. Renowned film critic Shonali Kapoor agress saying "Natasha is the most talented actress but for much of her career, she never took her career seriously. When other actresses focused on staying fit, wearing designer outfits, wigs and stellar make up, she was seen as being out of touch with the times. Her outfits seemed outdated, makeup was terrible and to add to it all, she used to be out of shape. We have seen a new Natasha the last couple of years. She has lost the weight and she's starting to experiment with sexy roles like the one in Darr 2. If she keeps up this act and focuses on styling herself like the diva that she is, she will rule Trollywood for decades to come. With all due respects to Deepika and Malini, they have a lot of style but not as much substance or class as Natasha."

It appears she's likely to stay on top since her biggest rival Malini Nanku is embroiled in legal controversy and the younger talent Deepika Parajuli has not been successful at the box office lately. Yet, all 3 actresses have big films lined up for release this year. While Natasha has Darr 3, Malini will be back in Jism 3 and Deepika in Tamasha.
