Women just know how to make a sari look H-O-T. Actresses, it may seem, make it look even better.

We decided to check out the heroines in the Telugu film industry, and see how they wear the sari. Quite well, we must say, as this slide show proves.

Kajal Agarwal in Veera

Actress Kajal, who will be seen in this week's Hindi release Singham, has featured in quite a few movies down south.

In this Telugu film, Veera, Kajal wears the sari differently, and makes it look sexy.

Black is obviously a favourite colour among these women.

Anushka Shetty wears a black sari in the film Okka Magaadu.

Ileana, who started her career as a model before she went on to become a noted actress down south, shows off her back in this white sari in Khatarnak.

Wearing another black sari, Priyamani adds glamour to the Telugu film, Bet.

Trisha strikes a dance pose in the film Krishna.

We haven't seen Bhoomika Chawla in a Hindi film for a while but the actress is still enjoying her career down south. She wears a sexy black sari here, in the film Naa Style Veru.

Playing a singer in the film Kalavaramaye Madilo, Swati looks hot in a transparent black sari.

Choreographer-dancer Farzana performed an item song in Mallepuvvu. Here's her sizzling look in the film.

Sada puts on a stylised version of the Maharashtrian nauravi kashta sari, usually worn by fisherwomen in the coastal region of the state. Madhuri Dixit made it famous in Sailaab and Sada takes the trend down south.

And it's not just Sada.

Maryam Zakaria rocked the look as well in the film Brahmigadi Katha. Who do you think wore it better?
