Is Preity Tollywood's New Heartthrob?

If you were to enter into a staring contest with Preity Mukhundhan, be prepared to be defeated -- you won't stand a chance against her beautiful eyes.

The dancer-model-actor is a style maverick in her own right.

Not one to shy away from a sartorial risk, she's been on everyone's mind ever since she joined the cast of Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa.
