After delivering two super hit movies this year, he was voted as the Sexiest Asian Male of 2019 by British news weekly 'Eastern Eye'. And, it is not just for 2019. Roshan, who rocked the salt and pepper look in action thriller ‘War’, was also voted the sexiest man of the decade. "I would like to thank everyone who feels so and has voted for me; I am flattered," said Roshan told the media. The 45-year-old actor made a comeback this year after his last release Kaabil in 2017 flopped. Added to that, Roshan also went through multiple personal crises as he was accused of <a href="https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/hrithik-roshan-opens-up-on-dispute-with-kangana-ranaut-tiff-with-sunaina-and-rakesh-roshans-cancer-recovery-6959571.html">ill-treatment by top actress Kangana Ranaut. </a> But this year, his breakthrough movie <keyword id="153248" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Super-30">Super 30</keyword> which is a biopic on math teacher Anand Kumar did brisk business earning ₹200 crore in addition to being critically acclaimed. The movie was followed up by War which earned over ₹300 crore. “Hrithik is the most voted for star since the list was founded 16 years ago and consistently shown there is more to him than the Greek God looks, and physique,” said Asjad Nazir, the author at Eastern Eye. Roshan was written off by critics after three of his big budget movies had flopped in the last five years. Apart from Kaabil, movies like Mohenjo Daro in 2016 and Bang Bang in 2014 did not ring the cash registers. This year however, Roshan is the top star of the year as his movies earned a massive ₹500 crore. <keyword id="6355887" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shahid-Kapoor">Shahid Kapoor</keyword> comes in second The next actor on the list Shahid Kapoor also made a comeback this year with a controversial yet popular movie, Kabir Singh. Kapoor was also ranked the sexist man in the same list in 2017. Television actor <keyword id="6387401" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vivian-Dsena">Vivian Dsena</keyword> ranked third while Roshan’s co-actor in War -- Tiger ,Shroff made his debut on the list at the fourth place <keyword id="644619" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="British-Asian">British Asian</keyword> popstar Zayn Malik came in at the fifth position. “The men featured in 2019 were connected by the fact they all went beyond their stardom and looks to make a positive impact. That is what really sexiness is about and why this list connects with millions around the world,” said Nazir. Besides Roshan, the top 10 list is dominated by actors and singers except Indian cricket captain <keyword id="6354486" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="virat-kohli">Virat Kohli</keyword>, who was ranked seventh.

Weekend Watchlist: Kangana Ranaut’s Judgementall Hai Kya hits the box office after many controversies

When you will enter Bollywood actress <keyword id="2201" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Kangana-Ranaut">Kangana Ranaut</keyword>’s apartment in Mumbai’s upscale Khar apartment complex, you will be welcomed by a bright blue door. Yes, that’s her Himachali roots talking. Kangana’s apartment is sunny, open and bright. The interiors of her house are quite quirky, unique, stylish and elegant. Her four-bedroom house speaks a thousand words about her personality, has a mountain flavour and a rustic look. “I’m a mountain girl, and I wanted a bit of a mountain flavour, with a lot of greenery and colour,” Kangana told <a href="https://www.architecturaldigest.in/content/kangana-ranaut-queen-castle/" data-type="tilCustomLink">Architectural Digest</a>. Her house has been re-structured by interior designer <keyword id="978764" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Richa-Bahl">Richa Bahl</keyword> who has made sure each every piece in her house is unique, represents her ideology and persona, and a warm-cosy space. “I like gung-ho women,” Kangana told the AD. Kangana has made sure her house has ample of greenery, something that takes closer to her roots. Here’s an inside look of her apartment (Images: Architectural Digest)

<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/55790737.cms" /> As the high voltage discussion ranged from start up to politics, heavy dose of art to business, <keyword id="2028528" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="TIMES-LITFEST">Times Litfest</keyword> in Mumbai is gradually becoming a melting pot of ideas. And one of the sessions today had <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> actress <keyword id="2201" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Kangana-Ranaut">Kangana Ranaut</keyword> speaking about her life and experiences. 
 <keyword id="2202" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kangana">Kangana</keyword> Ranaut said that she has faced tough time in her salad days in Bollywood as people shamed her for her dressing style and speaking skills. Kangana says she is not ashamed of where she comes from and even when people were talking bad about her, she retained her individuality. Kangana hails from a village in <keyword id="6358126" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Himachal-Pradesh">Himachal Pradesh</keyword>. 
 
"I do not find anything embarrassing about my born existence. People tried to shame me, coming from small town, not being able to speak English, not being able to dress up properly. But that didn't shake anything in me. I always operated from the place of my individuality. Even today when I work, the first reaction I get from people is 'oh she is a delicate beautiful girl' but as I go about my work, it disappears," she said. 
The ‘Queen’ hitmaker said it’s very important for women to understand and execute their freedom in the society. 
 
"Women have to first believe in themselves as equals, only then they will get that sort of treatment. Today I can proudly say that within five days of shooting any film, I am treated like anyone else on sets,” she added. 
 
She feels deeply satisfied that women of today are voicing their opinion fearlessly and people are also keen to listen to them. The actress said, as individuals, actors do have a stand on certain issues and do follow what is happening around the society. 
 
"As individuals we do belong to the country but in a very individual way, we all care about what is happening the country, in politics, what leaders are doing. In a democracy what a leader does is the reflection of what we have chosen for us," she said.

Bollywood Insider: From Farah-Jackie collaboration to Priyanka Chopra’s Holi tweet

<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/47630481.cms" /> 
 The reigning queen of <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword>, <keyword id="2201" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Kangana-Ranaut">Kangana Ranaut</keyword>, had always been vocal about her wish of experimenting with other aspects of movie-making rather than just focusing on acting. 
 
For her love of cinema, the actress even did a short course in screenplay writing from New York Film Academy. Looks like the dream has come true for the Tanu Weds Manu Returns star, who has gone behind the camera for her upcoming film <keyword id="2218524" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Katti-Batti">Katti Batti</keyword>, co-starring <keyword id="14676" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Imran-Khan">Imran Khan</keyword>. 
 
The first seven minutes of the movie have been directed by the actress who took the blessings of cinematographer Tushar Kantiray before using the camera, and offered him Re 1 as shagun for his blessings. 
 
The scene was one of Advani’s favorite scenes from the screenplay, in which Kangana’s character is shooting Imran with an iPad. For authenticity, Tushar suggested that Kangana shoots the scene herself, and the Kal Ho Naa Ho director was very happy with the way Kangana handled the camera. Way to go girl!!

Now, Kangana turns director for Katti Batti

<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/47497856.cms" /><keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> actor <keyword id="2201" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kangana-Ranaut">Kangana Ranaut</keyword> is in vogue these days; all thanks to her brilliant performance in the latest <keyword id="2600630" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Tanu-Weds-Manu-Returns">Tanu Weds Manu Returns</keyword>. As viewers are making a beeline at the ticket counters to get the coveted ticket to watch the movie, its Box Office Collections have already surpassed Rs 100 crore (till the time of filing this report). 
 
The film has turned Ranaut into a superstar, but mind you, this stardom has not come overnight; she has a decade long career behind her with nearly 30 films and several awards including the National Film Award. 
 
Ranaut seems to have somewhat altered her strategy. She is choosing scripts where female protagonists lead such as Queen, <keyword id="1132893" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Revolver-Rani">Revolver Rani</keyword> and Tanu Weds Manu Returns. Her brand equity has gone up as audiences see her capable of delivering a good solo performance and are ready to bet their weekend theatre budget on her. 
 
This is what exactly a brand needs from a celebrity endorser; capable of creating conversations and be a talk of the town. And Ranaut seems to have all this and more. 
 
Known for her psychotic roles (Fashion, Gangster, Raaz, Who Lamhe, Metro), Ranaut has had her share of success and failures. While Queen, <keyword id="3893" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="20" keywordseo="Krrish">Krrish</keyword> 3, Tanu weds Manu, Once Upon A Time in Mumbai, Shootout At Wadala got a good response, others like Revolver Rani, I Love NY, Rascals and Double Dhamaal did not do well at the Box Office. 
 
Brands have mostly kept away from her barring a few such as Tanishq (in past), Levi's (in past), Emami (Boroplus), Lawman PG3, Himachal Pradesh Tourism, Myntra, Liva, Askme and others because of her inconsistent career graph. 
 
Well, it's a hard fact that she is no Deepika Padukone or <keyword id="6354850" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Katrina-Kaif">Katrina Kaif</keyword>, who are known and proven Brand Champions. However, after the recent success of Tanu weds Manu Returns, she has got into that league where brands will make a beeline for her? Will they bet large on this Himachal Pradesh girl? Let's see what experts have to say. 
 
Emerging or Non-Emerging 
Geetanjali Bhattacharji, CEO, Marketing Services Audit, Spatial Access, finds Ranaut as a winner but has apprehensions about her brand associations as her personality depicted via films has been that of a non-conformist. 
 
"She has clearly emerged as a winner to shoulder ROI of a film both with Tanu weds Manu returns and her past release being Queen. But it will take an intelligent marketer with spine and a highly creative agency partner to generate propositions with a celebrity like Kangana. Huge opportunities aree there but vey few organizations will put the brand proposition in an interesting context with this celebrity." 
 
However, Shailesh Kapoor, CEO, Ormax Media believes that Tanu Weds Manu Returns is bound to make advertisers and filmmakers look at Ranaut very differently. "Till before Queen, she did not have much notice-ability. Because of Queen, she got noticed for the first time as a serious contender to be a top heroine. But Tanu Weds Manu Returns is going to be a pan-India hit, including the mass centers. This will give Kangana the reach that she did not have earlier," he adds. 
 
Even Darshan M, Director, Spoment Ventures thinks that her value will keep on increasing because she is taking up lead roles, delivering in them and people are liking her. "People are getting opinionated about her and that too in a good sense." 
 
<keyword id="233839" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sanjay-Shukla">Sanjay Shukla</keyword>, CEO, Percept One begs to differ; he says that she is a great actress, but not a brand endorser. "Previously she was doing very serious roles in movies like Gangster, Woh Lamhe, Raaz 2 and now she is taking up roles where she is like a free soul. She has played a twin personality, even though this is good adds to versatility but I am not how brands will look at it. People are definitely liking her, but she is yet to become a commercial star." 
 
Mass Appeal? 
Undoubtedly, Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif are brand champions in India. Both these actors are at the peak of their career, and they both command brands in their kitty and audiences at the theatre. Ranaut, on the other hand, is not yet there, but not that far off either. 
 
Bhattacharji points that brand endorsement is not her space and she clearly doesn't aspire to be there. "She addresses a niche. And intelligent investors (whether brand or producers) will optimize that niche instead of going mass." While Kapoor adds that this will depend on her releases in 2015-17. "Mass popularity takes time to build. Just one or two films cannot do that." 
 
However, Darshan M has a different point of view on this. He believes that Ranaut is natural and convincing, while with the other two there is a plastic and unreal attached to which the audience cannot relate. "Be it from a small or big town, a woman can relate to Ranuat but not Katrina because the latter is the perfect example of the Bollywood actresses who look good on screen but most of it is unreal. She has not become that eye candy or the arm candy, but is looking to lead from the front, which is liked by the people," adds Darshan. 
 
Cross Category Fit? 
It is true that Kangana Ranaut has had a very small list of brand endorsements, but experts believe that brands will be closely monitoring the success of Tanu weds Manu Returns and will be definitely considering her. 
 
While Kapoor believes that brands that want to communicate innovation, talent, women power and inner beauty will go for her, Bhattacharji points at radical fashion brands, unconventional jewellery designers, contraceptives, online players (challenger brands) will find her to be a better fit. 
 
Darshan M believes that Ranaut should not choose regular hair creams, but the ones which are quirky, unexpected, serious and reliable. 
 
Going Forward 
Now Ranaut is no Khan or Bachchan. And hence she will have to keep up to it. Audiences forgive a flop here and there, but they do not like consistency in this domain. Revolver Rani tanked massively at Box Office but Tanu weds Manu did not suffer from it. 
 
"In today's film scenario besides the Khans no actor can risk to be in that situation. She has proven herself time and again as a "Female Hero". The audience expectation will only soar high if not same for her upcoming movies. I think after <keyword id="3844" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vidya-Balan">Vidya Balan</keyword> she is the only actress who has successfully delivered a film purely on her solo performance," Bhattacharji says. 
 
Today Ranaut is all over the social media, brand promotions and Page 3 and we hope to see her more on the screen, be it through her films or the brand ads that she would endorse.

Is Kangana Ranaut The New ‘Queen’ Of Brand Endorsement In India?

<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/47500157.cms" /> 
 
She has proved that you don’t need good luck, a Godfather, or a long list of blockbuster hits to make your mark in the Hindi film industry. However, she has also proved that to distinguish yourself from others, you need to keep on experimenting with your looks. 
 
As her career began in the 2006 movie Gangster, she instantly gained fame for her unruly curly locks and raw looks, straight from the villages of Himachal Pradesh. However, she has always been a quick learner, and soon began experimenting with her looks. 
 
As she basks in the success of <keyword id="71996" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Tanu-Weds-Manu">Tanu Weds Manu</keyword> Returns and all the appreciation that she has been receiving for her portrayal of both a London-returned urban girl and a college-going rural girl, we have a look at the way she has transformed and carried herself all these years, both off- and on-screen.

All Hail The Queen! Here Are Kangana Ranaut’s Top 10 Looks So Far

<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/48960734.cms" style="width: 800px; height: 600px;" /> 
 
There’s a reason why <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/All-Hail-The-Queen-Here-Are-Kangana-Ranauts-Top-10-Looks-So-Far/articleshow/47500080.cms">Kangana Ranaut</a> is referred to as the ‘<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Box-Office-Queen-OutshinesGulaab-Gang-Total-Siyapaa-Tanks/articleshow/31848837.cms">Queen</a>’ of Bollywood. Apart from her commendable acting skills which can make any film an overnight success, Kangana’s interviews are a breath of fresh air because of how candid she is, compared to most actors in the film industry. 
 
Hardly afraid to call a spade, a spade, she doesn’t shy away from saying what everyone else is merely thinking in their heads. 
 Diplomacy be damned, when <keyword id="2201" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Kangana-Ranaut">Kangana Ranaut</keyword> is around, for this girl stands for is bluntness! 
 
In a recent interview with RJ Malishka, Kangana Ranaut demystified the meaning of a phrase frequently used by our stars. 
 
According to Kangana, the term’ just good friends’ in reality transcends to a fuck buddy being promoted a little bit. 
 
While social media has been going gaga over Ranaut’s honesty, considering Bollywood is starved of actors speaking their heart out, who don’t prefer hiding behind the veil of diplomacy; this is indeed a big win. 
 However, this is not the first time the <keyword id="6377522" type="POSITION" weightage="80" keywordseo="queen">Queen</keyword> has spoken her mind. Business Insider lists down five instances when Kangana Ranaut has proved that she’s all about the honesty- 
 
1. <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Heres-how-Twitter-trolled-Sonam-Kapoor-for-being-Desi-Rihanna/articleshow/47344824.cms">Sonam Kapoor</a>, known for saying things without thinking had on Koffee with Karan suggested that Kangana Ranaut should brush up her English skills. To that, Kangana had the following response- 
 
"I can also things like that but I don't. I don't know what is best for Sonam, I don't know what she should be doing with her life because I don't think about her life. It is very kind of her to think about me, but really I don't need her advice" 
 
2. Sexism is a part and parcel of life if you’re a woman living in country. And, Kangana Ranaut’s following quote proves that you cannot escape that even if you are a National Award winning actress! 
 
“Forget the credit, they (male actors) take all the money as well. We don’t get paid even one-third of what male actors get. It’s not so much about the money, but it’s about ( being a) woman” 
 
3. In an interview with Rajeev Masand, where she was accompanied by <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/The-Deepika-Padukone-Video-Vogue-Or-Vague/articleshow/46744351.cms">Deepika Padukone</a>, Kangana Ranaut redefined what being frank actually meant. 
Masand asked both the actors if they had signed a movie just for money. While Padukone was quick to retort with ‘No, never’, Kangana, on the other hand spoke the truth- ‘Yes I have’ she said. 
With that answer, she also taught us that we should be proud of your mistakes. We forgive you for Krrish 3 Kangana, We do. 
 
4. Unlike most others in the industry, which includes King Khan himself, Kangana made headlines when she turned down a Rs 2 crore fairness cream, advertisement opportunity. When asked what led to her decision, this was her response- 
 
“Ever since I was a kid, I have never understood the concept of fairness. Especially, in such a case, as a celebrity, what kind of an example would I be setting for younger people? I have no regrets about turning this offer down. As a public figure, I have responsibilities," 
 
You had her heart, but with this you have our respect, Kangana. 
 
5. “I am the struggler of the century” 
 
She’s spent over eight years in the industry and has carved out a name for herself without piggy backing on connections and yet she considers herself as a struggler and not a star. If this is not brutal honesty, I don’t know what is.

Five times Kangana Ranaut proved that she is the queen of sass

<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/41801920.cms" /> <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> actresses are having a gala time. Never ever in the history of <keyword id="4636" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-Cinema">Indian cinema</keyword>, Indian actresses enjoyed power like they enjoy today. Women-oriented films are on the rise, and audiences accepting them whole-heartedly. Recent success of Queen testifies the fact. But who would be the queen of Bollywood in 2014—and get the coveted ‘Heroine No. 1’ title? Let’s take a look. 
	 
	 

	1. <keyword id="6354526" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Alia-Bhatt">Alia Bhatt</keyword> With three back to back hits in a year, Alia is on a roll. Her first release of the year was Imtiaz Ali’s Highway, which brought pride and appreciation her way. After this coming-of-age story, we saw Alia in 2 States next, where she enacted the role of a Tamilian to perfection. Alia’s third movie was Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya, where she was at the top of her act. 

	2. Kangana Ranaut

	Queen proved to be a game changer for Kangana Ranaut. This unconventional movie not only won her accolades for her powerful acting, but also changed contemporaries’ perception about her. 
 

	3. <keyword id="89958" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shraddha-Kapoor">Shraddha Kapoor</keyword> The Aashiqui 2 girl too had a great run at the Box Office this year. Her film, Ek Villain was a hit and she won appreciations from all corners for her brilliant performance. She will soon be seen enacting the role of a journalist in director Vishal Bhardwaj’s Haider, based on Shakespeare’s Hamlet. 
	 

	4. Vidya Balan

	Vidya appeared twice on screen this year. While her first movie, Shaadi Ke Side Effect failed to impress audience, Vidya managed to make up for the loss with Bobby Jaasoos. The story of an aspiring girl detective struck a chord with the audience and set cash registers ringing at the Box Office. 
	 

	5. Rani Mukherjee

	It won’t be wrong to call Rani Mukherjee’s Mardaani as the movie of the year. After a dud called Aiyya, Rani bounced back with this movie. She excelled in the role of Shivani, a crime branch inspector, and won accolades and adulation from all corners. Not just that, the film was declared tax free in some parts of the country. A Hero-ific act indeed!
 

	6. Priyanka Chopra

	Seems Priyanka Chopra will earn many awards and honours with Mary Kom, a film based on the life of Olympic legend. Critics and junta are going gaga about Priyanka’s performance that packs a punch and lots of power. A well-deserving name for the coveted number one title?
 

	7. Deepika Padukone

	Last year, she was the queen of Bollywood and delivered four back to back mega hits. However, this year Deepika seems to be in a relaxing mood and has only two movies in her kitty. First up is Homi Adjania’s Finding Fanny, where she is playing a Goan girl and next is Farah Khan’s multi-starrer Happy New Year. Will Deepika be able to replicate her last year’s success this year as well? Only time will tell.
 

	8. Parineeti Chopra

	After Hasee Toh Phasee, Parineeti will soon be seen playing a Hyderabadi girl in Daawat-E-Ishq. News is rife that Parineeti took formal training from actress Elaahe Hiptoola to get the deccani accent right. Hope her hard work pays off!
 

	9. Katrina Kaif

	After last year’s Dhoom 3, Katrina will be seen in Bang Bang next. In this much-awaited movie, the sexy lass would be seen romancing Hrithik Roshan and performing some kickass action. Will this bring Katrina back in the ‘number one’ game?

Alia, Kangana, Deepika: Who will be on Number 1?
