Bollywood's best bikini bods: Priyanka takes on Sunny Leone and Sherlyn Chopra

They are sexy. They are hot. Their firmly-toned bodies set the screens on fire.

Indian film actresses are increasingly shedding off those extra kilos (and clothes) to show off their perfect and sultry figures.

Emirates 24|7 gives a lowdown on those actresses who have left a lasting impression in the minds of the audience after donning a bikini.

Shilpa Shetty: Who can forget Shilpa Shetty in the song ‘Shut up and bounce’?  The credit again goes to the film ‘Dostana’ for giving the 'Hall of Flame' yet another hot contender.

Shilpa grabbed the attention of movie buffs as she flaunted her curves in the hot number and her oomph factor set the exotic Miami beach onfire. Fans rushed to the theaters in droves to catch a glimpse of her gyrating figure on the large screen.

Kareena Kapoor: Bebo went on a strict diet to shed a few inches before being seen in a two-piece in ‘Tashan’. While the film did not do anything for her career, the bikini scene remains unforgotten in the minds of her audience.
 
Barring these A-grade actresses, there are those wannabe actresses who are often so tired of sitting on the sidelines, that they decide to attract limelight by baring all at the drop of a hat. Some of such c-grade actresses are so desperate that they take them off without any reason and upload those images on social networking sites, simply to garner eyeballs.

Here's a list of two such despos who expose their decently bikini bodies in an attempt to move up their non-existent career graph.

Sunny Leone: ‘Jism 2’ may not have had a strong storyline but the movie did attract large audience keen to see the adult star on the big screen. 

Although the storyline did not get a mention anywhere, fans did go for a repat watch to get a closer look at Sunny.
 

Sherlyn Chopra (AFP)

Sherlyn Chopra: The lady who is used to shedding clothes at the blink of an eye has curves that a lot of females would envy.

Her forthcoming movie ‘Kamasutra 3D’ is one of the most anticipated ones - but obviously not for her acting skills.
