Pankaj Tripathi for Stree
Pankaj Tripathi, the OTT star is one of the brilliant actors of the entertainment industry. He is mostly known for his negative roles but his appearance in the movie ‘Nil BatteSannata’ and ‘Stree’ was the most admirable movies. People just loved him in these movies. His dialogue from the movie Stree , “Woh Stree Hai Woh Kuch bhi kar Sakti Hai” and “Sabka Adhaar link Hai Iske Paas” took the internet by storm. His character from the movie highly appeals to the audience to watch the film over and over again.
Vicky Kaushal for Sanju
‘Masaan’ actor Vicky Kaushal has proven his fantastic acting skills through his debut. In ‘Sanju’ he steals most of the scenes and also was a centre of attraction playing Kamli. He played the best support like a best friend of Sanjay Dutt in the film. Vicky’s performance brought new light to the original character. His role was highly appreciated by the audience and the critics.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas for Bajirao Mastani
Bollywood Star, Priyanka’s role as Kashibai was one of her best career choices so far. It is a powerful, warm and refreshing change in the film despite Ranveer and Deepika playing the leads on screen, Kashibai’s strength and her love for Bajirao made her character even more solid. The audience could feel watching it again through her brilliant enactment.
Jim Sarbh for Padmaavat
‘Padmaavat’ had a lot of interesting roles. Ranveer Sigh, Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor were the lead characters of the movie. Apart from these three, there was another character that you can’t miss out on. In the film, Jim starts off as a slave who dreamt of becoming the second most powerful person in the empire. The journey of him doing exactly, makes him reach the top agent alongside Ranveer Singh’s character as well. It’s quite impressive to see him stealing his character impressively.
Anushka Sharma for Jab Tak Hai Jaan
Bollywood Stars: Anushka Sharma also steals away her performance from this movie. She falls in love with SRK, who again falls in love with Katrina Kaif who are the two lead characters in the movie. The challenges Anushka faces in her character, especially going through a heartbreak makes her performance endearing.

Aparshatki Khurrana and Abhishek Banerjee for Stree
This horror-comedy movie became one of the highest grosser of 2018. Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkumar Rao did a fantastic job in the movie but Aparshatki and Abhishek made us go crazy with their comic characters being perfect and not seeming overwhelming or fake.
