For the Best Actor award, most readers voted for Shah Rukh Khan for Raees. More than 30 percent people want the superstar to walk away with the trophy.
For the Best Actress award, readers want Sridevi to win the trophy for her extraordinary performance in Mom. Alia Bhatt and Vidya Balan received the second highest votes of 21.43 percent each, for their movies Badrinath Ki Dulhania and Tumhari Sulu, respectively.
Surprisingly, 100 percent readers voted for Irrfan Khan starrer Hindi Medium for the Best Film award. Also, Hindi Medium director Saket Chaudhary received maximum votes (30 percent) for the Best Director award.
