Show business is all about creating illusions. And as the more alluring face of this fantasy, the heroine has to look like a breathtaking dream at all times.
Over the years, the Bollywood woman has become more confident about her body and is happy to flaunt its merits in teasing bits of clothing. That, however, hasn't reduced the popularity of the traditional ghagra/lehenga one bit. If at all, the new edition has upped the hotness ante to an altogether new level.
Here then, is a look at Bollywood's leading Ghagra Queens and vote for your favourite of the lot.
Katrina Kaif
'Everybody wants a body like Sheila!' You bet.
That's one heck of a flat belly. Katrina, often showered with flattering titles like 'Most desirable' 'Sexiest' 'Hottest', justifies the admiration while rocking a low-waist, mirror-work lehenga.Deepika Padukone
Bless Deepika Padukone's athletic roots for when it comes to toned abs and never-ending limbs, the lass has no competition. The Dum Maaro Dum babe makes a scorching statement in her super sexy coral ghagra.
Sonakshi Sinha
Only one blockbuster old, Sonakshi Sinha's compelling presence is hard to deny. For a once-a-podgy-youngster, the Dabangg girl has evolved into quite a svelte beauty as evident in her red hot ghagra-clad avatar.
Malaika Arora Khan
From Chaiya Chaiya to Munni, Malaika's oomph factor has grown lethal with time. The fashionista raises the mercury with her unrestrained jiggle in skimpy ghagras and scanty cholis. And that's another round of wolf whistles coming up.
Sonam Kapoor
The latest to join the clique of Cannes darlings is already heralded as a style icon by young girls in the country. And when Sonam Kapoor shows off that perfectly willowy figure in a dreamy ivory & lilac net lehenga, you don't ask why.
Anushka Sharma
Doesn't the Band Baaja Baarat star's lean, taut frame and wide smile remind you of a certain Ms Shetty? The similarity doesn't end there. Anushka looks just as splendid and statuesque as her senior in grand lehenga made to accentuate those gym-ensuing curves.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
She wowed one and all with her classy appearances at Cannes this year. Back home too, no one does traditional like Ash. Yes, even when she's dolled up in cleavage-friendly, midriff-flaunting kitschy lehengas to make a chartbuster item song.
Bipasha Basu
It never hurts to see one of Bollywood's sexiest gals shaking her booty and setting the stage afire in bright, glittery ghagras on a deliciously penned Gulzar ditty. Rock on, Billo!
Priyanka Chopra
Had too much of Priyanka Chopra, the actress? Get a dose of Priyanka Chopra, the seductress in a sequined green ghagra exhibiting a marvel worthy figure. Of course, she has more than a million followers on Twitter.
Preity Zinta
One hasn't seen much of PZ on the big screen. Last time we checked she was aiming for an Ash-like response in this Kajra re inspired outfit. Bombed move notwithstanding, the original Ms Bubbly sure looks swell.
