These are a few of my faves :-

 

Bollywood Actor: Shah Rukh Khan.

 

Bollywood Actress: Karisma Kapoor for overall appeal. Kajol for her emoting. Juhi Chawla for being as pretty as she is.

 

Bollywood Movie: Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge (yeah I know this is pretty common)

 

Hollywood Actor: I liked Bruce Willis in Die Hard, Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump and Sean Penn in I Am Sam (I admit the last two point to a mini-trend)

 

Hollywood Actress: Michelle Pfieffer does well. Sandra Bullock has her charm. And Meg Ryan is cute.

 

Hollywood Movie: Can’t single out one really. I used to freak out on Bond movies when I was younger but I’ve grown out of them.

 

Sportsperson: Sachin Tendulkar. Vishy Anand (his one-liners are worth noting!)

 

Where’s Jim Courier disappeared? Used to like that guy but he isn’t around anymore.

 

Hey, I still haven’t got over Goran Ivanisevic serving ace after ace.

 

Male Pop Act: Enrique Iglesias. This latino doesn’t seem to come out of his melancholia, does he?

 

What might have gone wrong with MJ? He’s the one who inspired me to shake a leg. Well, lately, he’s out with Invincible.

 

Rock Band: Offspring. (If you haven’t listened to “Self-Esteem” and “Come Out and Play” from their album Smash, then you’ve surely missed something. The songs from their album Americana are good but not as good as the ones in Smash.)

 

Female Pop Act: I used to like Britney Spears… still kind of do. Whitney Houston has an amazing voice.

 

Boyband: Backstreet Boys, ‘Nsync, Westlife (since there are so many, this had to be a separate category; and well, I do listen to them)

 

Male Politician: Hmmmm… Arun Shourie (quietly does his job and does it well, as Union Disinvestment Minister)

 

Female Politician: Sushma Swaraj, Mamta Banerjee
