Google reveals most searched for celebs

New Delhi: Google announced its India Zeitgeist, a look at 2008 through the collective eyes of the Indian users on the web.

In the entertainment category not only is Katrina Kaif the face that geeks love most — as she is the most searched for Bollywood actor — she is also two notches above Salman Khan who in turn is five notches ahead Shah Rukh Khan .

And while Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapur are on number five and six, there's no sign of Saif Ali Khan, Aamir Khan or India's highest paid actor Akshay Kumar in the top 10.

Meanwhile as far as sports is concerened, on the very top of a lineup of sports giants including Sachin, Bekham and Ronaldo is Sania Mirza! With looks and youth on her side, she's even bowled over India's favourite batsman to number two.

And on the political front Mahatma Gandhi remains number one political leader even on the net. Raj Thackeray is on the number two spot.

And perhaps we need to package our politicians better because Sarah palin draws more eyeballs than Sonia Gandhi, and Barack Obama is way ahead of Manmohan Singh.

As far as questions go 'how to reduce weight' is the hottest question. At number two is 'how to kiss' and still on the list at number 10 is 'how to tie a tie'.

While the whole wide world is certainly weird, the world wide web is clearly... just a a little bit wierder.
