The inimitable Helen, 69, carved a niche for herself with her dancing skills in songs like 'Mera naam chin chin choo', 'O haseena zulfon wali', 'Aaa jaane jaan', 'Piya tu ab to aa ja', 'Yeh mera dil pyaar ka deewana' and 'Mehbooba mehbooba'. According to critics, she sizzled but was never vulgar.

Aishwarya is a regular at the Cannes Film Festival since 2002, and was a member of the Jury at Cannes in 2003. She has been associated with several Hollywood projects, including 'Pink Panther 2'.

Akshay Kumar, 41, who churned out the biggest hit of 2008 'Singh Is Kinng', has established himself as an action hero. He has hits like 'Khiladi', 'Mohra', 'Main Khiladi Tu Anari' to his credit. The versatile actor proved his mettle in romantic dramas like 'Dhadkan', 'Dil To Paagal Hai' (guest appearance), 'Aitraaz' as well as comedies that include box office winners like 'Hera Pheri', 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi', 'Garam Masala' and 'Namastey London'.
