Kareena Kapoor- Tashan
If you have it, flaunt it! And that's exactly what Kareena Kapoor has done with her newfound hot bod. The strict nutritious diet regime, the diligent workouts and love seemed to have worked wonders on the Kapoor lass.
After the speculation of Aishwarya's bikini scene in Dhoom 2 turned false, it was believed that Kareena wearing a bikini in Tashan would also be a publicity stunt.
Surprisingly this time it turned out to be true when Kareena sported a fluorescent green bikini in the film, flaunting her well-shaped butt and washboard abs.
Not just that, a sun tan seems to have added to her sexy look as well.
While some can't carry off a bikini too well, Bebo seems to have outdone all the Bollywood female actors who've dared to pose in their swimsuits.
So, it's not only cinema that's coming of age in India, the actors too are getting more conscientious and hotter with every passing day!
Aishwarya Rai- Dhoom 2
Her role in Dhoom 2, which was a sequel to the 2004 hit movie Dhoom brought her great attention. It was very rare to see Aishwarya in a sexy image. She looked very hot in the film in her short skirts with a bare mid rib.
Her song Krazy Kiya Re from the film went on to be a huge success. There were a lot of speculations about Aishwarya wearing in a bikini in the film. After the film was released all the rumours turned out to be false.
But instead of the bikini scene, the audience was surprised to see a kissing scene between her and Hrithik Roshan . It sparked a huge controversy. After some days of the film's release, the scene was removed from the theatres due to the pressure from the Bachchans.
For her performance, she received nominations for Best Actress at a number of award ceremonies, including Filmfare.
Bipasha Basu- Dhoom 2
Bipasha Basu escalated her position as not only a leading lady, but one who can dare to bare in Dhoom 2. Her bikini scene in the film was the topic of discussions fat many a dinner table.
Even though Bipasha is a fitness freak, getting a perfectly toned body for the character that she played was not a very easy task.
After three days of eating oranges, working out thrice a day and going paranoid, 'am I fat?' Bipasha did not want to look very oomphy.
But she wanted to look athletic. Dhoom 2 also credited her as a playback singer.
Esha Deol- Dhoom
Esha Deol broke her series of flop films with Dhoom. She starred in a number of films over two years, but none of them succeeded.
She finally had her first big hit in the form of Dhoom in 2004. Her complete image was changed from a girl next door to a glamorous babe with Dhoom.
Esha hit the gym with a vengeance. She trained with Sattu, one of Bollywood's most famous physical trainers to get the most desired abs.
The song Dhoom machale from the film featuring her became immensely popular and is remembered even today. She was also seen in a swim suit for a power boat scene in the film.
Madhuri Dixit- Aaja Nach Le
On December 7 , 2006 , Dixit returned to Mumbai along with her husband and sons to start filming for Aaja Nachle (2007).
She went through a lot of fitness programmes and lost a considerable amount of weight for the film.
The film released in November 2007 and despite the critics panning it, Dixit's performance was well received, with the New York Times commenting about her that "she's still got it". From yoga to aerobics exercise, this mother of two did everything to attain that perfect figure. And that she did. Mrs Nene looked like a million dollars.
Tulip Joshi- Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai
Tulip entered movies quite by chance. She was a friend of the bride of Aditya Chopra , the son of director Yash Chopra . The family noticed her at their wedding and asked her to appear for an audition, following which they cast her in Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai .
She went through a lot of exercise regimes and had to follow a strict diet to get that perfect look and figure required for the film. Since she was not fluent in Hindi, she enrolled in Feroz Khan's Studio, where she was re-named Sanjana, and went on to star in her very first Bollywood movie.
This movie did not do too well at the box office, but Sanjana was noticed and applauded for her work
