For the 2006 action heist film Dhoom 2, Ash shed not only her demure, girl-next-door, perpetually-in-love image, but her clothes as well. She completely reinvented herself with this movie.
A sequel to the 2004 movie Dhoom, Dhoom 2 saw Ash paired opposite Hrithik Roshan, in the role of a sexy thief turned police accomplice.
Shedding the extra pounds she had gained while in Bollywood, Ash bounced back with a body to die for, sharing crackling chemistry with Hrithik that remains one of the highlights of the film.
