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. |

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. |

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. |

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 |

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. |

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. |

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. |
