Bollywood is inhabited by pretty women of every kind.

Some are coy. Some are chirpy.
 
But some are scorching hot, loaded with fiery attitude and turn on the heat with their words and actions.

Say hello to the unmistakable patakas of Bollywood.

Sunny Leone

The Canada-born porn star made a splash in an Indian reality show, Bigg Boss 5 only to be noticed by filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt leading to a steamy debut in daughter Pooja's erotic sequel Jism 2.

Deepika Padukone

She's not all that fun in interviews but sexy Padukone and her never-ending pair of legs do a whole lot of talking on silver screen with their unabashed display while playing the spoilt, rich, lonely types.

Sonam Kapoor

Political correctness be damned, Sonam Kapoor is one to speak her mind and stand up for her beliefs. And that she looks so damn groovy in every good, bad, extreme makeover doesn't hurt.

Mahie Gill

If there's one actress who doesn't blink twice before flaunting her sexuality in the camera's face, it's got to be Mahie Gill. And the latter does reciprocate with equal affection, don't you think?

Kareena Kapoor

Most A-list heroines tend to push the demure button once they've hit the numero uno target.
 
Not Kareena Kapoor.
 
After her no-holds barred jhatkas in Halkat Jawani (Heroine), the newly married superstar is all set to boogie opposite Salman Khan in an item song called Fevicol for Dabangg 2.

Esha Gupta

The former Femina Miss India made her debut only this year and is already three films old out which two were huge hits. And while the stunner's acting skills are highly questionable, there's no doubting her Angelina Joliesque pout.

Bipasha Basu

One of Bollywood's most enduring sex symbols continues to prove her worth and super toned curves in topless covers for magazines and cleavage-flaunting roles in movies.

Another bindaas offshoot of the Bigg Boss series is Pakistani seductress Veena Malik. When not making sensational comments or striking controversial poses in the buff, she also acts in obscure movies.

Katrina Kaif

So this is how Kat makes up for her most boring celebrity reputation: Letting go of her inhibitions in raunchy item songs like Sheila and Chameli even as she teases her male fans with lustful bites of mango in a popular beverage commercial.

Huma Qureshi

The newest entrant of the pataka brigade, Huma Qureshi displays her firecracker ways with conviction in Gangs of Wasseypur and Luv Shuv Te Chicken Khurana.
 
Not to forget the sensual photo-shoot for FHM.
