Special series: Bollywood's sexiest 20-somethings

In Bollywood, they are hot property because they are seen to be in their prime. Today, these 20-something girls make up with sass, ambition and sheer hotness what they lack in years.

They star in all the big movies, appear in the biggest of the designers' shows and date some of the most droolworthy men. No wonder then, that the world is their oyester and we -- you and us -- are such fans of these Bollywood belles.

Here's looking at the hottest of their kind.

Katrina Kaif

It would be a disservice to the damsel if we don't start the list with her. There's way too much already been said about this 26-year-old hottie but we don't mind gushing some more.

That angelic face fired our imagination with the Aamsutra ad and now is all set to rock out with Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. Watch this space.

She was so good in Band Baaja Baraat that people just assumed that she's actually from New Delhi and she had to tell people over and over that she is, in fact, a Bangalore girl.

Only a couple of films old, this 23-year-old has an enviable range as an actress. We are eagerly waiting for Ladies V/S Ricky Bahl to release.

At 25, Deepika is an A-list actress and works with the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Saif and Shah Rukh Khan.

With films that matter in her kitty and a dishy guy on her arm, Deepika is the ultimate A-lister in Bollywood.

Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline sizzled in Murder 2 recently and that's still fresh in our memory. This Dhanno has a killer body and attitude.

All of 26, this promising beauty has come a long way.

Sonam Kapoor is 26-years-old but exudes the confidence and grace of a much older woman. All that time spent reading books has paid off.

Famed for her unmatched style and good looks, this stunner knows how to speak her mind. For the uninitiated, checking her Twitter account will tell you what we mean.

Curly-maned Kangna celebrated her 24th birthday this March. It's still a little hard to believe that this girl from the hills did most of her emotionally-exhausting roles when she was still a teen.

Way to go!

Priyanka Chopra is pushing 30 but she needn't worry. She's hot property and at the top of her game.

Petite Minissha Lamba has shed her good-girl image and that's working in her favour.

The 26-year-old attended the Cannes film festival this year and looked like a million bucks.

Fresh-faced Kalki Koechlin is 28 but could easily pass off as a teenager.

Her infectious smile and vivacity is what we adore. Her repertoire of films is short but impressive.

At 24, Sonakshi has a lot going for her. Being the daughter of a yesteryear superstar doesn't hurt too now, does it?
