Want to get famous? STRIP!

In the fickle world of showbiz, it's rather hard to guage public reaction and determine what works.

Talent, good looks, the 'X-factor' -- everything runs the risk of going unnoticed. But stripping? That works every single time!

Don't believe us? Take a look at these women, who dared to bare and grabbed plenty of eyeballs.

Sherlyn Chopra

This starlet faded into oblivion after appearing in a couple of B-grade movies like Red Swastik and Game. Even her Bigg Boss apearance did not keep her in the limelight for too long.

So, she decided to re-surface in a way everyone would notice. She shot a series of hot nude pictures and posted them on her website. Needless to say, Sherlyn was suddenly trending on the internet.

Before flying back home to London, starlet Sofia Hayat had one last ace up her sleeve, she left behind a little something for her fans to remember her by.

After her bizarre World Cup outing and a sizzling hot bikini shoot, the starlet celebrated her 27th birthday in a bikini and gave her fans quite an eyeful.

Model Poonam Pandey created quite a stir when she announced she would strip if the Indian cricket team won the World Cup.

India did. Unfortunately, she did not.

She later made up for it with an almost-nude photo shoot.

Newbie Ameesha Yadav went the nude route when her first film, Corruption, was up for release.

She wore fishnets and skimpy leather pieces for a photo shoot to promote the film.

Starlet Madhavi Sharma had a treat for Valentine's Day this year.

Keeping up with the romantic mood of the occasion, she posed in sexy lingerie.

Pakistani actress/model Veena Malik stripped for the cover of FHM magazine and created quite a furore.

She then topped it with an item number in Akshaye Khanna-starrer Gali Gali Chor.

We'll next be seeing her on television in the fourth season of Swayamvar on Imagine TV.

A rather filled out starlet, who goes by the name Yasmeen Khan, seemed quite fired up the sets of a music video with Raja Chaudhary, who was last seen in Bigg Boss.

The plump actress and Chaudhary were shooting for the song from an album titled Laila.

Bigg Boss's enfant terrible Kashmera Shah launched a steamy calendar last year.

Each month featured a picture of the actress in various stages of undress.

Yet another starlet Madhurima Tuli stripped down to a bikini for an obscure 'spy' film titled Lethal Commission.

Now we are unsure if the plot warranted a bikini-clad lead but this starlet went ahead and did it anyway.

This is a DJ who's eager to make a difference.

Mumbai-based DJ Jenny, like most other Indian youth high on Anna Hazare's anti-corruption crusade wave, took to stripping to further the cause in her own way.
