As 2010 comes to an end, it is time to look back and see how the alluring world of Bollywood spent the entire year. Supriyo Hazra recalls the ups and downs of the tinsel town, its royalty, the newcomers, the also- rans and the surprise packages

Aishwarya Rai: Aishwarya had a moderate 2010, as far her movies her concerned. Her two films 'Guzaarish' and 'Endhiran' (Tamil film dubbed and released in Hindi as well), did well at the box office. She was appreciated for her performance in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali directed film 'Guzaarish'. However, 'Raavan' and 'Action Replayy' failed at the box office.

Kareena Kapoor: The size zero actor of B-Town had a miserable year with only one of her films 'Golmaal 3' really creating the magic at the box office.

Katrina Kaif: She dominated the B-Town in 2010 as the number one actor just like in 2009. This year she also sizzled her fans in a dazzling item number from the film 'Tees Mar Khan' titled- 'Sheila Ki Jawani'.

Lara Dutta: Former Miss Universe Lara Dutta had a brilliant beginning to the year as her released movie 'Housefull' performed well at the box office. But after that start, the entire year remained slow and absolutely silent for the Bollywood beauty. In September, however, she got engaged to tennis star Mahesh Bhupathi.

Bipasha Basu: It was a shocking year for Bipasha, as one of her yesteryear advertisement, showing her topless suddenly got leaked in the world of net. But unlike other heroines, she took it in her stride and moved on as the controversy died. Bipasha surely does not believe in blast from the past.

Jacqueline Fernandez: She was the new 'Dhanno' girl of Bollywood, as her item dance number in 'Houseful' made the Sri Lankan beauty quite a famous face. Although in the later half of the year, Malaika Arora as 'Munni' and then Katrina as 'Sheila' took the credit away completely.

Celina Jaitley: Finally the 'Hot Bod' Celina Jaitley is in love once again and this time she has confessed to be dating with Dubai based hotelier named Peter Haag. Last time it was gay activism and now her love life. Celina surely is not making news for films anymore.

Deepika Padukone: It is a long time since Deepika and Ranbir has separated. And Break Ke Baad, she is in news for her romantic links once again.

In this one year, the sought after actor of B-town is speculated to have rediscovered a soft corner for Siddharth Mallya, son of business tycoon Vijay Mallya. Though the pair remains hush-hush over their relationship despite their series of public appearances together, media has always speculated that the chemistry between the two seems to be a bit more than mere friendship.

Kajol: After returning from exile in 2009, her first film of the year ' My Name is Khan' roared at the box office as her fans loved to see the Shah Rukh- Kajol chemistry once again on the big screen. Her next release of the year- 'We are Family' was also liked by a certain segment of her fans though the films did just okay. Moreover, Kajol gave birth to her second child this year, welcoming one more member to the Devgan family.

Kangna Ranaut: Kangna had a dull 2010 market at the box office except his only hit this year 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbai'. He was wasted in Kites, but then the film itself was such a waste.

Malaika Arora Khan: Malaika Arora Khan banged her fans as she appeared as 'Munni' in the most sizzling item number of the year 'Munni Badnam Hui' in the film 'Dabangg'.

Mallika Sherawat: She appeared at the red carpets at the Cannes Film Festival by wrapping a snake around her, visited a snake temple, but luck was not in her favour as her much talked about Hollywood debut film 'Hisss' failed to make a mark in the hearts of global audience. However, Mallika absolutely gets the credit of becoming the first international 'nagin', truly something unique.

Neha Dhupia: Neha seems to be happy being in the sidelines than being the lead actor, as she continued to act as the supporting actor in the movie 'Action Replayy', which failed in the box office. However, she received appreciation for her role in the offbeat B-Town movie 'Phas Gaye Re Obama'

Priyanka Chopra: Piggy Chops appeared in an absolutely new avatar this year as she stepped into the shoes of Akshay Kumar and hosted the 'Khatron Ke Khiladi Season 3', establishing herself as the new khiladi girl of Bollywood. However, her Bollywood releases in 2010, like 'Anjaana Anjaani' and 'Pyaar Impossible' failed miserably.

Rani Mukherji: Bengali beauty Rani Mukherjee remained absolutely out of lime light in 2010, till it was in the last phase of the year it became clear that her next venture 'No One Killed Jessica' will hit the box office in 2011. Rani will be seen sharing space with another Bollywood beauty Vidya Balan in the film. The film is believed to be based on the Jessica Lal murder case.

Shilpa Shetty: Just like Preity Zinta, the Bollywood beauty had troubled times this year as the IPL Governing Council terminated the contracts on October. Since then she is busy fighting legal battle with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to ensure that Rajasthan Royals come out of all the troubles and participate in the upcoming season.

Sonam Kapoor: Bollywood style diva Sonam Kapoor turned a fashion mentor in Mumbai as she shared her expertise on fashion at 'Fashion Class with Esprit' at the Esprit store.

'The Fashion Class' saw Sonam 'tutoring' Esprit aficionados, who turned out in huge numbers to get tips from the diva. She shared tips on 'boyfriend dressing' , the travel must have's this winter, tips on casual look for a relaxed brunch with friends and the Hi-glam look for an evening out with that special someone. Her film "Aisha" failed to create a splash, though it was liked by many critics.

Sushmita Sen: Sushmita Sen, who had launched the 'I Am She' platform in 2009, which was awarded the India franchisee to select 'Miss Universe' participants by the Miss Universe Organisation gained momentum this year and expanded the selection procedures convincingly.

Tannushree Dutta: Bong beauty Tannushree was seen acting in a movie opposite the mighty WWE wrestler The Great Khali in the movie named 'Rama the saviour'.
