PIX: Pin-up queens who'll make you drool

As part of an ongoing series, we introduce you to the new age pin up stars.

On Thursday, we introduced you to some of the hotties who've made Indian men sweat under their collars and weak in their knees.

Today meet six more pin-up stars that men wouldn't mind waking up to.

Namitha

For many of us living on this side of the Vindhyas, South Indian stars are almost unheard of.

So when Namitha figured in the list of top searched keywords a couple of years ago it may have come as a bit of a surprise.

Agreed that the south Indian actress isn't exactly your hourglass hottie but hey, neither was Silk Smitha now, was she?

The first thing that strikes you when you meet Sherlyn Chopra is that she is way thinner than what she looks on camera.

Sherlyn, who shot to stardom also did a B-grade film and a two-bit appearance in a forgettable Yash Raj movie before fizzling out of the limelight.

And then there were rumours about her going under the knife, which we couldn't give a damn about... with a body like that, she could well have her dinner in the bathtub and we wouldn't complain.

It was a random track-and-field meet that no one possibly remembers.

But thanks to some ingenious photographer, who spotted her there and took this picture, the 17-year-old pole vault athlete Allison Stokke became an Internet celebrity.

Somewhat unsurprising, we'd say. After all, no professionally shot model looks more desirable than this candid shot of a PYT in a pair of lycra shorts and a sports bra.

American Olympics swimmer Amanda Beard may not have been familiar in India till the Beijing Olympics.

Her 'Ew No' response to the question if she hooked up with Michael Phelps really got her noticed by the Indian media with a major national daily plastering her quote on the first page.

Amanda for her part doesn't remotely mind flaunting her body made for sin -- she's posed for FHM and Sports Illustrated and done a nude shoot for Playboy... and PETA!

Drool-worthy no?

It must be a tough job being a sex bomb's daughter. But Riya Sen sure as hell excels in it!

The lusty daughter of Moonmoon Sen may have initially struggled to get into those shoes. And now that she has settled in, Riya has all our attention. Swear!

Gul Panag isn't exactly in the top league of Bollywood actresses but then again she doesn't have to.

The hottie who has earned a reputation of being the thinking man's sex symbol swims, cycles, goes gymming, talks gadgets and cars and makes sense! What's more? She's also your go-to person when it comes to anything about social networking.

What else do you want in a woman anyway?

Watch out for the third in this four part series on the hottest pin-up girls of our times on Monday.
