Old habits do die hard. And some of our Bollywood citizens continued indulging in them in 2014. Here-s hoping that the new year shakes some of these actors out of their sleepy, safe mode.

Sonakshi Sinha

On screen, she is the fantasy woman of every MCP and, perhaps, that-s why she is such a hit among men — utterly unliberated, irritatingly coy woman that every man secretly loves and wants to protect. It might be working for the actress, but it-s nevertheless a pity that an educated, modern woman of the 21st century single handedly harks us back to the dark ages. The fearless Nadia of the -40s would scowl at Sona-s choice of roles. Hope in 2015 she recalls that momentary wisdom that struck her when she chose a film like Lootera last year and does some roles that suit her IQ and the century that she-s part of.
