Bollywood beauties who went from sweet to sexy

To fit into a character, Bollywood beauties have gone the extra mile. The sexy ones have run after ‘gharelu’ roles, while the ‘Behenjis’ have begged for babe roles. The latest actress to join this coveted gang is the girl-next-door Aditi Rao Hydari, who has shed her sweet look to go bold and brazen in a pink and orange bikini in the upcoming action movie ‘Boss’. She plays Akshay Kumar’s reel life brother Shiv Pandit’s love interest and is definitely the eye candy of the masala potboiler. The petite actress has worked on her figure really hard to get the bikini look right. And from what we have seen, we are quite happy. Are you? Will the movie be as racy and interesting as Hydari’s look? We need to wait till tomorrow for that. But we have put together a list of other Bollywood beauties who went from sweet to sexy. Take a look.

Asin:
The South export, who won hearts with her simple girl about town avatar in ‘Ghajini’ was only getting such plain Jane roles, before she went for a major makeover. She sports super hot fitted clothes and tousled hair in the movie ‘Khiladi 786’ and sways seductively to ‘Hookah Bar’. Nobody would have imagined the Mallu beauty to go for such a drastic image change as her Southern roles have been quite conservative. Even in the Rs 100 cr hit ‘Housefull 2’, she looks hot in a minis and beach wear. We wish she didn’t smile so self consciously, it really ruins her whole look. Smile wide, miss. You are pretty!

Prachi Desai:
The quintessential ‘bahu’ of small screen Prachi Desai had created quite an impression on people’s minds with her flowing saris and salwar kurtas. People were shocked when she went the sex kitten route in the song ‘Na Jaane Kahan Se Aaya Hai’ in the BO dud ‘I Me Aur Main’. Tired of her gharelu image, she started dressing her age, which really elevated her position in Bollywood. We hope she plays more characters that are closer to her age now that audiences have accepted her in this bold avatar.

Deepika Padukone:
When she made her Bollywood debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Om Shanti Om’, nobody really thought her to be sexy. She was pretty, sure. And sweet, of course. But sexy? Na. But then came her sexiest role till now ‘Cocktail’ where her hot pants, breezy tops and smoking hot hairdos made her the new sensuous diva of Bollywood. With a figure like that, it won’t be that hard rocking any dress, but she puts her pins to great use by flaunting them in hot pants.

Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan:
She has played it rather safe in her colourful career. But she went a little bold and bronzed for her conwoman act in ‘Dhoom 2’. Wearing bikini tops and revealing lowers, she played the sex bomb to the hilt. It was quite a shock for the viewers who had till then seen her only in ‘Hum DIl De Chuke Sanam’-esque avatar. We would have preferred her to go low on her bronzer though. In a bid to look hot, she almost looks burnt in some scenes. Not a fan of her fake black contacts either.
