Just like in sports, Bollywood too has a wives and girlfriends club (popularly known as WAGs). These women don't necessarily belong to the film industry or are as popular as them.

Here's a look at some of the HOTTEST lesser-known girlfriends of stars we've spotted lately.

Abhishek Kapoor

The Kai Po Che director gallantly escorted his stunning girlfriend Pragya Yadav, a Swedish model of Indian descent, to the film's screening at the Berlin Film Festival last year.

Shakti Kapoor's actor son Siddhaant Kapoor was accompanied by mum Shivangi and girlfriend Erika Packard for the success bash of Shootout At Wadala -- his acting debut.

A fashion model, Erika described herself in an interview as a complete beach babe.

Erika, incidentally, is the daughter of late actor Gavin Packard, who played negative roles in films like Mohra, Gharwali Baharwali, Karan Arjun, Sadak and Tridev.

After a lot of beating around the bushes, Abhay Deol and his model girlfriend Preeti Desai made it official by making joint appearances in public, the most notable of which were at Deol's cousin Esha's sangeet ceremony and wedding last year.

Desai, 28, is a model, former Miss Great Britain and an up and coming actress in Bollywood.

We last saw her in Shor In The City opposite Sendhil Ramamurthy.
