Tia Bajpai in Haunted-3D

Tia Bajpai (originally known as Twinkle Bajpai) fist got noticed as a singer in the music reality show 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa'. Post that she did a few small roles in TV serials. However, her big break was when Vikram Bhatt offered her the lead role in his ambitious venture Haunted-3D. Tia was cast opposite Mahakshay who was making his comeback with this 3-D horror flick. The film luckily clicked at the Box Office and critics and audiences were generous in their praise towards Tia. The actress was recently seen in another of Vikram Bhatt's production Lanka opposite Manoj Bajpayee and Arjan Bajwa. She has also been cast in the sequel to 1920 where she is paired opposite Aftab Shivdasani.

Monica Dogra in Dhobi Ghat

Monica Dogra was a well known name courtesy her rock band Shaair n Func. She even sang the 'Dooriyan' track from Break Ke Baad. However, it was when Kiran Rao offered her a pivotal part in Aamir Khan Productions' Dhobi Ghat that the actress in her got noticed. Cast as Shai, the independent and spirited banker who comes down from the US to Mumbai to pursue photography as a hobby, Monica hit all the right notes and didn't get bogged down despite sharing screen space with a heavyweight like Aamir. Hope to see more of this born performer in the days to come.

Kajal Aggarwal in Singham

After a successful innings down South, Kajal Aggarwal decided it was time to make her debut in Bollywood. The pretty looking girl got lucky with a big break in the form of Rohit Shetty's Singham where she was paired opposite Ajay Devgn. Even though Singham was predominantly an Ajay Devgn film, Kajal did make her presence felt as the naughty girl next door Kavya. Her scenes with Ajay infused some much needed light hearted moments in an otherwise high octane action film. Here is one girl who we can say has made a promising debut this year.

She got the Delhi accent bang on and had the audience in splits with her funny repartees. Surely here is one actress who can go a long way in the days to come.

Poorna Jagannathan in Delhi Belly

Delhi Belly was always touted to be a guy film revolving around the 3 main protagonists namely- Imran Khan, Vir Das and Kunaal Roy Kapur. Yet if there was one actress who stood out in this adult comedy, it was Poorna Jaganathhan. An actress who has done a lot of TV, theatre and few films in USA, Poorna made sure that her Bollywood debut was completely unconventional. She played a spunky, irreverent journalist with élan and her scene with Imran where she fakes an orgasm is definitely among the highlights of the film. It would be interesting to see this actress take up more challenging work in the days to come.
