Bollywood actresses redefining hotness

Being fair, slim and showing cleavage to raise your oomph factor is cliché.

Few Bollywood beauties redefined what's hot and what's not. Being sexy is more about attitude than just shedding clothes, Vidya Balan made this school of thought more popular. Here is a roundup of Bollywood beauties who have redefined the concept of hotness: 

Katrina Kaif: No one though she would last this long in the industry when her debut film 'Boom' bombed. But she proved them all wrong. She has been constantly on top of her game delivering hits after hits. She has consistently been on the top of various polls of sexy actresses.She stole a lot of hearts with her loveable and warm roles and certainly shocked a lot of people when she turned her hotness quotient on.

Vidya Balan: Most unlikely candidate to be on this list you thought right? Wrong! With that weight around her, she made people swear by her hotness quotient. She gripped the hearts and minds of viewer’s with her stellar performances one after another. She has been termed as the female Shah Rukh Khan of the industry. In her own way she made curvy woman feel beautiful.

Rekha: Acting is her biggest tool and her beauty adds up to her beauty. The best part of the actress is, she doesn't need to even shed her clothes to sizzle on screen - her deep voice and her eye does the work. Her mujra acts were extremely popular and people just couldn’t get enough of it.

Dimple Kapadia: The beauty is bold and she is a young woman who revolutionized the scene by wearing short skirts and midriff revealing tops. She certainly made miniskirts fashionable for a long time after her debut in 'Bobby'. Her red saree act in 'Sagar' was too much to handle for a young man at that time. Dimple never had a dimple to flash but she made hearts flutter nonetheless.

Priyanka Chopra: Former Miss World Priyanka Chopra had that extra oomph factor when she joined Bollywood. But with her array of roles that she portrayed as a vamp, a troubled model or an austic girl she exuded confidence. She never looked one bit out of place playing an autistic child in 'Barfi' or slum girl in 'Agneepath'. It takes a lot of talent and guts to go out there and do what she did (and did well). All we can say is, hats off!

Mallika Sherawat: Mallika Sherawat has been the one to defy norms. When kissing was a taboo in bollywood, she went ahead and did it anyway with the serial kisser, Emraan Hashmi. Many swooned over her sensuous act in her debut movie 'Murder'. No wonder she started getting counted as one of the hottest actresses post that. Well, only if she would have followed up that awesome act with a couple of good movies, she would’ve been a force to reckon with.
