These are taken cumulatively to assign the actors a final rank called the 'T Score'. Times Celebex is a scientific and robust ranking system based on data collected from 200+ publications and 250+ TV channels, making it the first ever ranking system for Bollywood. We have put together the stars' ranking for the month of March, 2013.
