Bollywood heroines may mark their arrival with bikini and swimsuits, but if they want their fame to sustain, they need to show their sexiness in sarees. Actresses who have failed to realize and capitalize on sarees have seen their popularity wane. Starting from the early days of Nargis, Madhubala to golden days of Hema Malini, Rekha, Sridevi to present days of Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor, all super successful heroines have looked their best in sarees.

Rain and Saree go together in Bollywood. Wet saree gives the oppurtunity for directors to present songs in a very sensual way.

Here is our list of Top Ten wet saree songs

Number 10 - Bhor Bhaye Panghat Pe (Satyam Sivam Sundaram, 1978)

Bhor Bhaye Panghat Pe

Bhor bhaye panghat pe
Mohe natkhat shaam sataye
Mori chunariya lipti jaye
Main ka karoo hai raam hai haaii

The song Bhor Bhaye Panghat Pe picturized on Zeenat Aman from the movie Satyam Sivam Sundaram is the benchmark song. Any song featuring heroine under a waterfall is bound to be compared with this song. Raj Kapoor tried to recapture the same magic with Mandikini in movie Ram Teri Ganga Meli Ho Gaayi, but Mandikini's song turned out to be soft-po*n rather than a beauty.

Number 9 - Gale Lag Ja (De Dana Dan, 2009)

Gale Lag Ja

Meri pehli mohabbat hai
Meri pehli yeh chaahat hai
Meri itni si hasrat hai
Gale lag ja na jaa

With the song, Katrina Kaif successfully transitioned her image from a western girl to a complete Bollywood actress. Gale Lag Ja featured the hot jodi, Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif to produce a memorable wet saree song in the comedy De Dana Dan.

Number 8 - Saason Ko Saason Me Dhalne Do Jara (Hum Tum, 2004)

Saason Ko Saason Me Dhalne Do Jara

Saanson Ko Saanson Mein Dalne Do Zara
Saanson Ko Saanson Mein Dalne Do Zara
Dheemi Si Dhadkan Ko Badne Do Zara
Lamho Ki Guzarish Hai Yeh Paas Aa Jaaye
Hum Hum Tum, Tum Hum Tum

Even though the song Saason Ko Saason Me Dhalne Do Jara has minimal wet saree, the melody of the song makes it feature in our list. Rani Mukherjee and Saif Ali Khan adds glamour to the melodious slow song. It's a perfect song for humming.

Number 7 - Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si (Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi, 1958)

Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si

Ek ladki bhigi bhagi si
Soti raaton mein jaagi si
Mili ik ajnabi se
Koyi aage na peechhe
Tum hi kaho ye koyi baat hai, hmm

Any song with Madhubala in it is bound to be good. Madhubala's facial expression is unparalleled. Kishore Kumar sings the evergreen song. Madhubala plays the damsel in distress making this song as one of the biggest hits.

Number 6 - Barso Re Megha (Guru, 2006)

Barso Re Megha

Barso Re, Megha Megha Barso Re
Megha Megha Barso Re, Megha Barso
Meetha Hai Kosaa Hai, Baarish Ka Bosa Hai
Kosaa Hai, Kosaa Hai, Barrishon Ka Bosa Hai

Aishwarya Rai beautifully captures the innocence and joyness of the song. The song Barso Re Megha is full of life and one of the rare Bollywood songs that does not turn this joyful song in a sensual item number.

Number 5 - Aaj Rapat Jaye To Hame Na (Lawaaris, 1981)

Aaj Rapat Jaye To Hame Na

Aaj rapat jaayen toh hamein na uthaiyyo
Aaj fisal jaayen toh hamein na uthaiyyo
Aamein jo uthaiyyo toh - 2
Khud bhi rapat jaiyyo

The song Aaj Rapat Jaye To Hame Na is one of the comedy songs in rain. While Smita Patil provides the glamour quotient, Amitabh Bachchan provides the humor. Smita Patil has looked her best in the song. Aaj Rapat Jaye To Hame Na was one of the biggest hits of the year.

Number 4 - Kaate Nahin Katate Yeh Raat (Mr. India, 1987)

Kaate Nahin Katate Yeh Raat

Kaate nehi katte yeh din yeh raat
Kehni thi tumse jo dil ki baat
Lo aaj main kehta hoon
I love you

Sridevi at her best. Mr. India was supposed to be Anil Kapoor's movie, Sridevi stole the limelight with her acting and sensual act in the song Kaate Nahin Katate Yeh Raat. Sridevi's sensuality in this song is yet to be matched.

Number 3 - Rhim Jhim Rhim Jhim (1942 A Love Story, 1994)

Rhim Jhim Rhim Jhim

Rimjhim Rimjhim
Rumjhum Rumjhum
Bheegi Bheegi Rut Mein Tum Hum Hum Tum
Chalte Hain

Manisha Koirala - Oh what a beauty. Manisha Koirala and Anil Kapoor provides the eye pleasing visuals to this melodious song. The song is one of the finest from Late R. D. Burman

Number 2 - Tip Tip Barsa Paani (Mohra, 1994)

Tip Tip Barsa Paani

Tip tip barsa paani
Paani ne aag lagayi
Aag lagi dil main to
Dil ko teri yaad ayi

Raveena Tandon adds the oomph to this sexy number. Mohra was Raveena's second movie and she made sure her song performance in Tip Tip Barsa Paani and Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast will make all remember her as the original item girl. Bollywood fans constantly rates the song as one of the best that has been picturized in the rain.

Number 1 - Pyar Hua Ikrar Hua (Shree 420, 1955)

Pyar Hua Ikrar Hua

Pyar hua ikrar hua hai
Pyar se phir kyun darta hai dil
Kehta hai dil rastaa mushkil
Maloom nehi hai kaha manzil

The unforgettable melody by Shankar-Jaikisan tops our list. The song Pyar Hua Ikrar Hua from the movie Shree 420is romantic and shows great chemistry between Nargis and Raj Kapoor. The very image of boy and girl under an umbrella in rain invokes the memory of this great song.
