Google Zeitgeist India 2010
Google released its year-end Zeitgeist list for 2010. Google's annual list is an indicator of what's hot and happening in the online world. The search engine leader, each year, analyses billions of search queries to come up with the Zeitgeist - the spirit of the time.

More and more Indians are going online each year and searching for what interests them the most on Google. Here are the top trends of what Indians were looking for in the online world in 2010.

Unlike the 2008 and 2009 Zeitgeist lists Google didn't present a list of the top celebrities, instead they focussed on the fastest rising people and on top of that list was British-Indian actress Aruna Shields, who made her Bollywood debut in the Vivek Oberoi starrer Prince which was followed by Mr Singh Mrs Mehta, the that that earned notoriety for her nude scenes.

Following Aruna in the list of the fastest rising people is Bollywood's newest star-daughter-turned-actress Sonakshi Sinha who debuted opposite Salman Khan in the blockbuster of the year Dabangg.

Another Salman heroine Zarine Khan was number three on the list. Followed by the former IPL chief Lalit Modi and actress Neha Sharma whose first film was Chirutha (Telegu). Neha made her entry into Bollywood opposite Emraan Hashmi in Crook: It's Good To Be Bad.

Indians have also expressed considerable interest in the Colombian singer Shakira and the long-time search engine favourite, Katrina Kaif. Completiting the top 10 list of the fastest rising people of 2010 were Sachin Tendulkar, Lady Gaga and Salman Khan.

It is interesting to note that the interest on Google search is not necessarily proportional to the box office success of a movie, else Kites would have been the highest grosser of the year by virtue of it topping the list of the most searched for movies in 2010.
