The verdict is out and the ecstatic winners of the Karbonn Mobiles 17th Annual Star Screen Awards share their sentiments.

Most Promising Newcomer (Female)

The Karbonn Mobiles 17th Annual Star Screen Award for Most Promising Newcomer (Female) went to Sonakshi Sinha for her performance as Rajo in Dabangg.

The feeling is just out of the world. I was studying fashion and had no intention of even designing for films,let alone acting in them. But it was Salman Khan who felt that I was just perfect for this role. He took charge and made me lose weight and get into films. I must thank the Dabangg team for everything. – Sonakshi Sinha

Most Promising Newcomer (Male)

The Karbonn Mobiles 17th Annual Star Screen Award for Most Promising Newcomer (Male) went to Ranveer Singh for his performance as Bitto in Band Baaja Baarat.

I have actually started thinking what I am going to do next because I have to deliver on the promise that this award bestows. I am especially happy to have won because of the intense competition,especially Suriya,whose performance in Rakth Charitra was awesome. It was also an emotional moment as I was sharing the stage with Shah Rukh Khan,whom I have looked up to all my life. Anushka Sharma gave me an emotional talk backstage about living in this moment and it was a big high for me. When I actually got the award,I could not hold back the tears. – Ranveer Singh,Actor
