PIX: When Bollywood Gals Went Topless For Magazine Covers

Sunny Leone cooked up quite a storm in her HOT topless cover shoot for the latest edition of the FHM magazine.

Draped in a green sheer sari, the actress is shown covering her modesty with the sari pallu and gazing seductively into the camera.

Quite a few leading ladies in Bollywood have shed their clothes for magazine covers in the past.

Take a look inside.

Veena Malik

Pakistani actress/model Veena Malik found herself in the eye of the storm as she posed nude for an earlier FHM cover.

With the letters ISI drawn on her arm, the starlet courted trouble and was even disowned by her father. 

Kajal Agarwal

Southern hottie Kajal Agarwal, who made her Bollywood debut with Ajay Devgn-starrer Singham, posed for a coy cover wearing a pair of polka-dotted stockings.

The actress later denied having posed for the cover.

Bipasha Basu

Bipasha Basu too couldn't resist flaunting her gym-toned body.

She appeared topless on a Maxim cover last year, working big hair and the over-the-shoulder look.

Mallika Sherawat

Enfant terrible Mallika Sherawat is always up to mischief when she's not working on item numbers or making international red carpet appearances.

Sporting a big red bindi and a necklace, the actress appeared on a FHM cover last year.

Vidya Balan

Bollywood's tour de force, Vidya Balan smouldered on the cover of another FHM edition.

A perfect run-up to her then upcoming film The Dirty Picture, the actress flaunted her back in a sari.

Esha Gupta

Former beauty queen and Jannat 2 debutante Esha Gupta flaunted her hot bod on the cover of Femina for its January 2012 edition.

Yana Gupta

Actress/model Yana Gupta was quite a tease as she appeared topless on an FHM cover.

Wearing her winsome smile and a pair of tiny shorts, Yana grabbed many eyeballs.

Mamta Kulkarni

And now for some nostalgic shots!

If you thought this was a recent trend, Mamta Kulkarni will tell you otherwise.

The actress who disappeared from the filmi scene ever since her film China Gate tanked, was one of the first actresses to do a topless cover. Back in the day, it was quite a scandal and also landed the actress with a lawsuit filed for obscenity.

Pooja Bhatt

Pooja Bhatt, another fiesty actress of her time, posed for a topless cover for Movie magazine back in the day.

Fashioned after Demi Moore's iconic Vanity Fair cover, the actress had her body painted for the shoot.
