Let8217;s take a look at all the new faces that visited Bollywood this year.

  • Akshaye Khanna made his entry with Himalayputra. It was followed by Border and a star was born.
  • Apoorva Agnihotri, the Pardes boy, has amazing confidence. We don8217;t see him getting wiped out easily.
  • His co-star Mahima Choudhari too was promising. Whether it8217;s her director or her heroes, this girl knows the fine art of keeping them all happy.
  • Pooja Batra too created a niche for herself. Virasat did for her what it didn8217;t do for a desperate Anil Kapoor.
  • Aishwarya Rai too made her debut this year. And despite the fact that she has had no hits, she is already a star.
