It was the one that got away that got Ranveer Singh's goat. The year 2010 was his year. Comparisons to Ranbir Kapoor, the best newcomer awards galore and praise from Karan Johar came his way. But it was the public vote that went against him. The Times Hottest New Face 2010 — Male result crowned a new face that wasn't him, but Ali Zafar.
Conducted on www.iTimes.com/polls over almost two months, the poll garnered lakhs of votes withTere Bin Laden hottie Ali Zafar topping the list. The hot debut, his chocolate boy looks and a singing voice to boot got a popular film banner's attention. The banner even signed the crooner for Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, passing up on their other discovery, Ranveer.
If that wasn't enough, he was quite keen about the results of the iTimes poll and expected his film's better box office run to see him through. Call it blindness or plain oversight, he failed to see that the sole requirement was a 'hotness quotient', something fans found the Pakistani singer had in a greater abundance than the Band Baaja Baaraat boy. Tough pill to swallow, but he should have taken the loss in his stride. Not one of his strengths, obviously. Singh was upset with the result and even told a zoOm reporter as much in a verbal outburst.
Sonakshi Sinha, the star of last year's biggest hit Dabangg, was expected to top her list too but didn't. She was more graceful in defeat. Wish Ranveer, who hangs out with Sinha a lot these days, would take a cue from her and stop being such a sore loser!
