We take a look at the hottest television anchors, and what makes them sizzle.
Malaika Arora Khan
Show: Dhoom Machale on NDTV Imagine
Why she is popular: Malaika has always been bold and beautiful with her skimpy outfits, and hot item numbers.
She drew admiring glances even when she wore a Bengali sari for a special episode of Dhoom Machale.
Show: Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain on Star Plus
Why he is popular: It's obvious that the actor loves kids and vice versa. His camaraderie with the five children on the show, as well as with the contestants, is reason enough for him to be the darling of the masses.
Show: Jo Jeeta Wohi Superstar on Star Plus
Why she is popular: She made the 2003 and 2007 World Cup memorable with her interesting choice of attire, when she played host.
In her other shows too like Fame Gurukul, Deal Ya No Deal and soaps like Shanti and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Mandira's glamorous dress sense is very popular with the audience.
Show: Yeh Shaam Mastani on Sony Entertainment Television
Why she is popular: Mini charmed the nation with her sparkling smile and free-spirited style of anchoring in Indian Idol. A successful veejay and theatre artist, she has also hosted shows like Popcorn and Tol Mol Ke Bol.
The reason for her popularity is clearly her ability to get on well with her co-stars. She also handles the emotions of participants and their families with ease.
But we will miss Mini in the fourth season of Indian Idol; she opted out, as she is pregnant with her second child.
Show: Chak De Bachche on 9X
Why she is popular: Roshini started her career as a television host on a cricket-based show on Doordarshan with Charu Sharma.
She moved on to serials (Kasamh Se) and reality shows (Jhoom India), and gained more popularity.
One of the reasons Roshini is so charming is that she not only connects with her co-host, Bhojpuri actor Manoj Tiwari, and the audiences in Chak De Bachche, but she also takes part in the show.
Show: Rock n Roll Family show on Zee TV
Why he is popular: After proving himself as an actor (as Nahar Singh in Saat Phere), Sharad -- armed with his wit and spontaneity -- is thoroughly enjoying his new role as the host of Rock n Roll Family.
Sharad worked as a gym instructor in Gwalior before he came to Mumbai to participate in Grasim Mr India. Commercials followed and finally, Doordarshan's Aakrosh gave him a break.
Show: Comedy Circus on Sony TV
Why she is popular: Shruti has been hosting television and music shows on Channel [V] for quite some time now. A model, she has even dabbled in movies in bit parts in Fanaa and Ta Ra Rum Pum.
Show: Waar Parriwar on Sony Entertainment Television
Why she is popular: After films, Urmila tested new waters when she judged the reality dance show, Jhalak Dikhla Jaa on Sony TV. After getting positive feedback, Urmila took on Waar Parriwar, as host.
Her popularity stems from the fact that she could sing and dance very well. She claims to know more than 1,000 songs by heart. On the very first episode, Urmila got the audience grooving to her Yaire Yaire number from Rangeela.
