1. Madhubala- The little girl who debuted with Basant(1942), sprang to stardom with her mystifying performance in Mahal(1949). Rightly compared with the sex-bomb Marilyn Monroe, Madhubala’s beauty was unearthly. Her milky-white complexion & bulb-like radiant eyes had a hypnotic effect on the spectators. After Howrah Bridge & Chalti ka Naam Gaadi(1958), she immortalized the character of Anaarkali in Mughal-e-Azam. Even 4 decades after her demise, fans remember her mystifying smile with her posters still selling hot on Indian streets.

2. Sharmila Tagore- The Bengali sweet-dish dazzled up the silver-screen in the 70’s with her bold but gorgeously graceful portrayals. The sexy-siren dimpled girl pioneered the bikini culture in Bollywood as she sizzled in a skimpy one-piece in An Evening in Paris.

3. Madhuri Dixit- She broke zillions of hearts when she sailed off to Florida & tied the knot with a cardiac surgeon. The true diva of the 90’s, she was a sorceress and had the uncanny ability to disarm her audience with her smile-of-the-millennium.

4. Aishwarya Rai- The 1994 Miss World has been acknowledged by many(including Angelina Jolie) as the “Most Beautiful Women alive today”. From a classical look of Paaro in Devdas , to the rauncy sexy-lady-on-the-floor lass in Dhoom 2, her ethereal beauty has captivated all.

5. Katrina Kaif- The current-sensation, the heartthrob of the Gen-X guys, Katrina (sweetly addressed as Katty) has conquered all hearts with the Barbie-Doll-look. The slim-trim, silky-haired lovely lady is ruling the town and is, often, called ‘the successor of Aishwarya.’
