Diwali@2013: Bollywood bombshells

Get ready for a rendezvous with Bollywood's deadliest bombshells this Diwali.

WARNING: Proceed with caution!

Be it a simple village belle in Chennai Express, the superhot party girl in Cocktail, the girl-next-door in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani or the rustic heartbreaker in Ram-Leela, Deepika Padukone has proved herself equal to every opportunity. Bollywood's biggest money-spinner this year, Deepika's oomph sets off fire alarms.

Even though just the trailer is out, Katrina Kaif has already set hearts aflutter with her washboard abs and acrobatic skills in Dhoom: 3.

The last time Katrina performed the item number Chikni Chameli in Agneepath (2012), she grabbed eyeballs like none other.

Kareena Kapoor sent the mercury rising with the item song Fevicol Se in Dabangg 2, and delivered acclaimed performances in Heroine, Talaash and Satyagraha proving that there is room in Bollywood for a married actress.

Priyanka Chopra has the world at her feet. She stars in a sensational item number in Ram-Leela, appeared in the remake of Zanjeer, has a successful career as a pop star and has just been revealed as the first Indian face of international brand Guess.

After the smashing success of The Dirty Picture, Vidya Balan played the role of a fashion disaster housewife in Ghanchakkar. However, that has in no way dimmed her sex appeal. Earlier this year, Vidya took the French Riviera by storm in a series of Sabyasachi outfits at the Cannes Film Festival. The first trailer of her new movie opposite Farhan Akhtar, Shaadi Ke Side Effects, is just out.

Kangana Ranaut has always been acknowledged as a major talent with noted performances in films like Fashion, Tanu Weds Manu and Shootout At Wadala. This year, she is the talk of town as sexy mutant Kaya in the just-released superhero movie Krrish 3.

After quitting the adult entertainment industry, Sunny Leone made her presence felt in the reality TV show Bigg Boss.

Since then there has been no looking back for this siren, who made her Bollywood debut in Pooja Bhatt's Jism 2.

Chitrangada Singh's dusky beauty is the envy of many. This year, she was praised for her performances in Inkaar and I, Me Aur Main.

Shotgun junior Sonakshi Sinha made her Bollywood debut in 2010 with Salman Khan's Dabangg, and since then there has been no looking back for the actress. Star of this year's Lootera and Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara!, Sonakshi refuses to conform to the industry's thin-is-in beauty standard and is all the more popular for it.

After making a humble start in Bollywood with Aladin, the only way for bootylicious Sri-Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandez was up.

Last heard, the actress will next be seen in Roy opposite Ranbir Kapoor, and Kick opposite Salman Khan.
