It's that time of year again and everyone is trying to land their dream date for New Year's. So here's a question -- if you could take your pick from any of these hot young Indian celebs, which would you like to bring in 2010 with (and plant a big kiss on at midnight!)? Take this fun poll and let us know!

Ranbir Kapoor
Possibly the most in-demand Bollywood star of 2009, we're guessing that most young ladies must be swooning at the thought of spending New Year's with the Ranbir -- and planting a little sugar on him too! The rumours swirling that he's broken up with Deepika Padukone will only serving to boost the morale of his crazed female fans!

Katrina Kaif

If Ranbir is the hottest male actor this year, Kat is certainly the most sought-after actress. She's delivered hit after hit at the box office and she's as gorgeous as they come. It would seem that she's no longer dating Sallu bhai, so gentlemen, take note -- although you better be tough enough to stand up to a backlash from the ex. It's quite a possibility!

For the more serious-minded ladies, Rahul Gandhi is certainly a catch. Imagine dating an eligible bachelor of India's First Family. Promising political career: check, popularity: check, cute as a button: check...any takers? We're guessing there are plenty!

The pretty German model has found a strong fan following in India after her stint on reality show Bigg Boss: Season 3. She may have been voted out a couple of weeks ago, but she got further than many of the other contestants and she's quite a hottie too! We're guessing a certain ex-Mr India is hoping to land a date with her for New Year's night, though!

Imran Khan

Ranbir's rival is not far behind on the desirability list. Intelligent and introspective like maamu Aamir, the bad news is that Imran only has eyes for his fiance Avantika! But that still doesn't come in the way of a little wishful thinking now, does it? This Khan would certainly make a charming New Year's date!

Dippy is certainly every bit as desirable as ex-boyfriend Ranbir. The leggy lass is a well-established actress and has had a gorgeous bod since her modelling days. If you need to refresh your memory, just take a look at the Kingfisher Calendar 2006 -- it's sure to have the guys sit up and take notice!
