Most talked about actors of 2016

The year has been amassed with 118 Bollywood releases so far. There were a few films that stood out through the year. There were a few disappointments from the megastars as well, this is what separates our Most Talked-About Actors of 2016.
Here's a list of most talked about actors of 2016 when it comes to their professional or personal lives.

Aamir Khan
The cerebral Khan who is notorious for making limited appearances for the media, put himself out in the open aggressively this time for ‘Dangal’. His year-ending release had him undergo a rigorous physical transformation for the part of a wrestler. Aamir’s performance has been lauded unanimously, and the internet can’t get enough of his workout videos.

Shahid Kapoor

After a forgettable 2015, Shahid was back with a bang in his critically acclaimed performance in ‘Udta Punjab’ as the hysterical rockstar Tommy Singh. Heavily tattooed and shoes that scream out “eccentric” from a country mile, he vowed us on the silver screen. He became a father of a beautiful daughter and we can’t wait for his first TV appearance with wife Mira Rajput on Karan Johar’s chat show.

Ranbir Kapoor

Fresh from a string of films that have been missing the mark for the last few years, Ranbir Kapoor shut his critics with a thundering performance in ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’. He cleared the air around his relationship status too. And as the year comes to an end, the teaser of his long-in-the-works ‘Jagga Jasoos’ has left us waiting for more.

Amitabh Bachchan

The ‘Shahenshah’ of Bollywood maintained a visibility all through the year with his three releases, ‘Wazir’, ‘Te3n’, and ‘Pink’. With diverse roles at hand, Amitabh Bachchan displayed range that had the viewers spellbound.

Manoj Bajpayee

‘Aligarh’, the film festival favourite, was a sensitive story of a gay professor. Manoj Bajpayee essayed the role of the film’s protagonist with extreme grace and poise. He rounds off our list of the Most talked about actors of 2016.
