When it comes to makeovers, our desi chaliyas and chammak challos ain't that far behind

CLOSE SHAVE SAIF ALI KHAN FOR "OMKARA" Apna Chhote Nawab, has come a long way from his "Aashiq Awara" days - we mean in terms of looks too! With his depiction of the rustic Langda Tyagi in Vishal Bhardwaj's 2006 film "Omkara", the actor made it obvious that he was here to stay. Looking every bit the mean and conniving villager with facial hair and a close-cropped hair, Saif took villainy to an all-new high. Although the actor has undergone many makeovers since ("Tashan", "Kurbaan", "Aarakshan", "Kal Ho Naa Ho", "Parineeta" and "Hum Tum") Langda Tyagi will remain one of his iconic makeovers in B-town.

THE HULK AAMIR KHAN FOR "GHAJINI" Looking at his chiselled and heavily tattooed body in this film, people would surely have a hard time relating to the cute, lanky 'Raj' from "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak"! For someone who has always stood up for experimentation, whether in terms of roles, movies or appearance, Aamir's transformation for his character in "Ghajini" remains one of his biggest milestones. In fact, his hairstyle for the film, an extreme crew-cut with uneven yet designed partitions on the scalp, became a rage across the country. Significantly, Mr Perfectionist used to work out for three hours everyday for almost a year to bulk up. Unforgettable? Hell, yeah!

SILK ROUTE VIDYA BALAN FOR "THE DIRTY PICTURE" While Bebo went size zero, Vidya Balan took the 'silk route' to sexy - from medium to an XL - for "The Dirty Picture". And while Kareena made lean fashionable with her makeover in "Tashan", Vidya brought back not just the curves but also love handles around those outlines into vogue! Vidya's uninhibited portrayal of Southern siren Silk Smitha in the film not just brought her critical acclaim and a National Award but also ushered in a phase where even plus-sized women would feel more comfortable in their own skins. Atta girl!

HAIR SCARE SANJAY DUTT FOR " AGNEEPATH" Bald on the lines of Mogambo? Check. Gothic tattoos? Check. No eyebrows? Check. Villain? You got it! If the affable Gandhian Munna Bhai tugged at your heart strings, Sanjay Dutt as Kancha Cheena will send a shiver down your spine. Dutt's makeover for this cult character from the movie "Agneepath" can easily be termed one of the scariest ever. In fact, the actor himself got scared of his look several times during the course of filming the movie something he admitted later!

GROUND ZERO KAREENA KAPOOR FOR "TASHAN" Scorching the screen in a yellow bikini, Bebo took glam to an international level in her 'size zero' avatar in "Tashan". And then began the race, yes for exactly what a real race is supposed to give you - a fit, perfect figure! Bebo's transition from the cute, girl-next-door avatar in "Jab We Met" to the siren in "Tashan" was praiseworthy and continues to be not only her own, but one of the biggest makeovers ever witnessed in Bollywood. Add to that size, tanned skinned and straightened hair, and Bebo is the stuff fantasies are made of. We like, we like!
