Every time an actress dons a bikini it makes headlines. Pipe-down, there were several yester-year actors who carried off the bikini with much sex appeal.
First up was Nutan who slipped into a swimsuit for Dilli Ka Thug in 1958. This was followed by Saira Banu in April Fool and Vyjayanthimala in Sangam. Probably the biggest proponents of the two-piece from back then are Sharmila Tagore, Zeenat Aman, Parveen Babi and Dimple Kapadia.
But somewhere down the line, the way they paved got blocked by prudes. But now, we have the new ladies of Tinseltown clearing out the rubble of boring wardrobes and bringing back sexy beach wear on to the screen. Welcome to the age of the bikini!
Next up to sizzle in a bikini is Lara Dutta. We get to see her flaunt one in Blue while doing some underwater stunts. Wow!
Deepika Padukone donned the bikini as a Kingfisher Calendar girl and followed it up with something alike in her item number in Billu.
Shilpa Shetty beat Priyanka Chopra to the bikini and the beach in Dostana, and are we glad that she did that number!
We love seeing Bipasha Basu in a bikini. What amazing abs! One look at that sizzling hot bikini bod and it makes us want to scrimp on our indulgences a little bit more.
Who would've thought that Ameesha Patel would do an item number and that too in a bikini! But she did carry it off pretty well.
Aishwarya Rai cast the 'proper' image aside and donned a bikini in Dhoom. But soon after that she got married and decided to play the boring bahu. Get back to some fun roles with bikinis, Ash!
Minnisha Lamba went from being coy in Bachna Ae Haseeno to super sizzling hot in Kidnap.
Amrita Arora seems to have been inspired by her sister and made sure that she, too, got on the cover of Maxim in a two-piece.
lol I read her name as "Amirite", I need sleep!
Who can forget Malaika Arora sizzle in the bikini-special from Maxim! Sigh!
Mallika Sherawat decided to go the bikini way in Bachke Rehna Re Baba and it's no surprise that eyes popped way more than it normally does for the skimpily-clad sex bomb.
Neha Dhupia got into a two-piece for a magazine cover and Sheesha. We wish she gets several more opportunities to flaunt those never-ending legs.
Celina Jaitley is known more for her oomph than her acting prowess. She showed us how she can always bank on it when she made a splash in a bikini for Money Hai Toh Honey Hai. The movie sank, but Celina's bikini-clad image kept bobbing in our vision.
Mugdha Godse, the latest hottie in Tinseltown, bowled us over with her designer bikinis in Fashion. That excellent physique and struts matched the leading lady, Priyanka Chopra's.
What made even greater waves than Kareena Kapoor shrinking to a size zero, was her itsy-bitsy bikini in Tashan. Get set to watch her sport one again in the multi-starrer, Kambakht Ishq.
Priyanka Chopra dazzled us with her shimmering gold beachwear in Dostana. But what's noteworthy about it is that it is portrayed as natural and not something used to kick-in the sleaze factor to ensure packed theatres. Thanks for keeping away from the sexist and giving us the sexy.
