We hate being fair, so here' our list of our favourite dark-skinned beauties
1 of 10
Bipasha Basu

One of the early dusky entrants in Bollywood, Bipasha has taken the proverbial long journey to stardom. 2006 was unarguably her best year – she showed the world she could act (Corporate), she could match talented performers (Omkara) and she could give Aishwarya Rai a run for her money (Dhoom 2). With a body that makes us weak in our knees and the delicious John Abraham around her little finger, Bipasha Basu is on our list.

Priyanka Chopra

If you're dusky, there's no way you can give sleaze a pass. So Piggy Chops did some real bold films (read Aitraaz) before settling in for Waqt, Krrish and the likes. But here's the thing with Priyanka Chopra. She's bided her time and though she may not have done as many bold films as Bipasha, she's managed to crawl her way to the very top. Next up is Kaminey and we're waiting to see if she manages to maintain her success ratio.

Monikangana Dutta

Most models will make you wish they'd shut up. Monikangana Dutta however is one exception. The sexy supermodel is what they call the thinking man's sex symbol. Shuttling between India and the West, Monikangana is arguably India's hottest export (unless you consider Aishwarya Rai hot that is). You wish you saw more of her. But sigh… that is how it works.
4 of 10
Nina Manuel

Not as popular as Monikangana across the world, Nina Manuel's a hot favourite among the boys in the office. She hosts a show on Zee Caf and does a kickass job at it. Nina is a regular on the ramps in India and we're cheering for her too.
5 of 10
Mugdha Godse

Wherever was this girl before Fashion? With a body to kill for Mugdha Godse is one hot contender here. Mugdha, we must say, has managed to get it easy with Priyanka and Bipasha having established themselves by the time she started off. But with the likes of Anushka Sharma and Asin Thottumkal among others Mugdha sure has a long way to go
6 of 10
Malaika Arora Khan

To be part of a prominent Khan family and carve an identity for yourself surely is a task. Malaika Arora Khan surely has managed to break all rules. You can't help wonder how this hottie manages to be Salman Khan's sister-in-law, Arbaaz Khan's wife, a mother and have a body like that and a squeaky clean reputation! Pity she never managed to make it to Bollywood. But then again, we may not have been able to see her like THIS either.
7 of 10
Kajol

Get the sex out of dusky and you have Kajol. This isn't to say that Kajol ai'nt hot. Let's just say you can put her in the same league as Bipasha Basu and Malaika Arora Khan. For starters Kajol certainly doesn't have a body to flaunt. But there's no denying her powerhouse performances in most of her movies.
8 of 10

Shahana Goswami

There's very little we've seen of her in Rock On!! But we're putting our money on Shahana Goswami. She's got age on her side and definitely looks set for a long innings in Bollywood.

9 of 10
Freida Pinto

The Slumdog Millionaire star sure has everything going for her. Woody Allen's signed her up. And then there are all those talks of being a Bond girl. We say introduce Freida Pinto to all those TV show wallahs who think dark skin isn't in.

btw i just saw this

"We hate being fair, so here' our list of our favourite dark-skinned beauties"

and what is wrong with being fair?As someone who is of the lighter skin persuasion i could be extremely offended

had the article been reversed where they said "we hate being dark so here's a list of our favorite gori beauties", there would be outrage all over the forum..everyone would go on and on about the skin color prejudices in India..

prejudices of any kind is wrong..and making derogatory statements like "ewww he is soooo fair..he needs a tan" isn't right either..

I'm sure the fair they're talking about is the one from "all's fair in love..." and not the skin color. It was their lame attempt at being punny...ha ha 😛

Nina Manuel does not look sexy or beautiful at all, Priyanka looks nice out of the lot, not forgetting Bipasha Basu 😲 I cannot see anything sexy about them sorry.
