Actress Shriya Saran, who stars in Deepa Mehta's Midnight's Children as one of the three protagonists, has won the hearts of many in the last decade of her film career. 

Her fine features and glamorous red carpet looks have garnered a lot of praise too.

Before we watch the actress in theatres this Friday, here's a look at Shriya's hottest avatars.

Sexy in sheer

The actress smoulders in a sheer black outfit as she poses for the Celebrity Cricket League calendar.

In her 2009 Tamil film Thoranai costarring Vishal, the actress shows off her chiselled torso in a pink blouse and bejewelled skirt.

At the 2012 IIFA awards in Singapore, the actress sizzled in a sparkly blouse and sheer sari.

Saran went the desi route once again as she attended a party at the Toronto Festival.

But it was Saran's ornate Sabyasachi sari that she wore for the London premiere of Midnight's Children that was a class apart.

The actress sizzles in a red hot number in her Telugu hit Pista.

Like her red carpet looks, Shriya has aced the art of posing for magazine covers too.

The actress makes a sexy cover on Maxim.

Dressed in a tinsy top, Saran gazes into the camera seductively on the cover of Galatta magazine.

The actress flaunts her toned back as she arrives for a film screening in Toronto.

The actress is quite a sight in a South Indian garb and jewellery.

As the dusky Parvati in Midnight's Children, Saran weaves her magic on the viewers with her earthy beauty and dance skills.
