In the glamorous scheme of Hindi movies, even something as routine as a bath is nothing short of luxury.

Besides, it also works as a perfect excuse for filmmakers to project the heroine as a mix of playful, hot and, goes without saying, squeaky clean.

Here then is looking at Bollywood's sizzling bathing beauties.

Bipasha Basu

Whether the subject is romance, comedy or horror, one can blindly count on the Bong bombshell to scorch things up with her staple sex appeal.

Here's her version of Lady in the Water. What do you think?

They don't make dream gals like Hema Malini anymore.

Doesn't the star of superhits like Seeta Aur Geeta, Johnny Mera Naam and Sholay look like a million bucks covered in bubbles and foam?

Kareena Kapoor in Bewafaa
A self-confessed romantic, Kareena Kapoor looks every bit at home taking a leisurely bath around scented candles and fragrant soap.

No wonder she's such a favourite with soap brands.

Few can afford the luxury of setting a bathtub at home and understandably go wild on seeing one in a swanky hotel room.

And Anushka Sharma offers a rather accurate demo of such attitude.

She may not have clicked as a star in a big way but there's no denying two things -- Esha Koppikar is very pretty.

Second, she sure knows how to the play temptress in a tub.
