Stepping into Bollywood almost at the same time, actors Sonakshi Sinha and Ranveer Singh grabbed a lot of eyeballs. While Ranveer's confident and charming portrayal of Bittoo Sharma in Band Baaja Baaraat won him a lot of female fans, Sonakshi's role as the gaon-ki-gori Rajjo in Dabangg impressed many.

Following this, both the actors showered praises on each other in various chat shows, and expressed their desire to work together. So much so that gossip mills even linked them up. But now there is a slight twist in the tale of their mutual admiration society (wink).

Nominated in the Fresh Talent of the Year category in Dainik Bhaskar Group's Bhaskar Bollywood Awards, Ranveer and Sonakshi are at loggerheads, competing tooth and nail with each other, hoping to get more votes to win the title.

Touted as India's first democratic awards, these are solely judged on vote counts, without any jury to override public opinion.

This makes the battle between Ranveer and Sonakshi even more interesting – a true test of fanfare and popularity. Only time will tell, who beats whom!
