They are sexy.. They dare to bare.. and yes they have done it.. The most blatant form of exposure on celluloid for an actress is to wear a swimsuit.. Fropki.com lists out the swimsuit babes of tinsel town.
Bipasha Basu

Bips is an actress who speaks her mind and so far, her work reflects that. Bipasha Basu is a no nonsense person and will give a hundred percent to anything she decides to do. Like when she willingly agreed to don a two piece swimsuit for the sequel to Dhoom. Dhoom 2 saw Bipasha wearing a swimsuit for a song that was shot in South Africa and she had the beefy Uday Chopra for company. The number My Name Is Ali was shot aesthetically and Bips looked like a million dollars. But unfortunately, Bipasha claimed that she is not so comfortable wearing a bikini for the camera and may not wear one in the future. We just hope the sultry actress changes her mind soon.


Kareena Kapoor

In her forthcoming film Tashan which is being made by Yash Raj, Bebo is set to feature in a glamorous new avatar. Apparently producer Aditya Chopra has convinced Kareena to wear a bikini for the first time onscreen.

Kareena has played glam avatars earlier but this one is surely set to take the cake as the actress has never exposed to this extent so far. The actress has shed all her excess flab by doing power yoga and strict diet.. All we can say, Its rocking... for Kareena
Nargis

Yesteryear actress and mother of Sanjay Dutt, Nargis shocked all and sundry when she boldly appeared in a swimsuit in Raj Kapoor's Awaara in 1951. The scenes were so sensuous that it shocked her family as well as the society. But truly Nargis was a gutsy woman who thought ahead of her times and with her began the trend of depicting the heroine in a film as desirable.
Sharmila Tagore

Today she is the Chief of the censor board of India but way back in the 1960's Sharmila had done something that wasn't attempted by any other film actresses until then. Sharmila Tagore was the first heroine to ever wear a short top and hot pants in the movie Aamne Saamne where she starred opposite Shashi Kapoor. In the scene, Shashi is smoothly giving Sharmila a back rub. And in the same film she wore it not once but twice, later on for a song in the film where the two are cruising on a boat. Sharmila even insisted on wearing a bikini in An Evening In Paris in 1967 for the song aasman se aaya farishta... But it was at the behest of director Shakti Samanta that she finally wore a one piece.
Zeenat Aman

She has been the most stylish actress of the 70's, and perhaps the only actress in Bollywood who dared to wear a bikini. No one can forget scenes from the movie Qurbani. Directed by Feroz Khan, Zeenie baby roams around the beach in a bikini that was probably the shortest one that was seen on the hindi 70 mm screen until then. In the song Main Tasveer Utarta Hoon from the film Heera Panna , she is wooed by none other than the evergreen actor Dev Anand. Skimpily clad in a blue bikini one cannot find fault with the evergreen Dev Saab, who seemed smitten by this bombshell.
Urmila Matondkar The term “sexy” in Bollywood came to be defined more accurately when Urmila Matondkar decided to don a bikini for Ram Gopal Varma’s Rangeela. The colourful two piece bikini that she wore posing against a rock is still remembered vividly and Urmila thereafter came to be known as the ultimate ‘sex symbol’. And the scenes that were shot with Urmila in the two piece depicted how comfortable she was exposing her skin and flesh. In a word Urmila had ‘revolutionised’ the word sensuality.
Mallika Sherawat Bollywood has always known her as the Bindaas girl who surprises all with her guts. Mallika Sherawat is one of the few actresses who has never made any bones about her 17 kisses in her debut film Khwaaish and neither did she have any qualms in wearing a two piece for the comedy Bachke Rehna Re Baba. She willingly shot a sequence on the beach in a yellow bikini. She also shot in a bikini for a song ‘Mundeya’ in her romantic comedy Shaadi Se Pehle where she danced alongside Akshaye Khanna beside a swimming pool. She is surely making it a habit with the ‘bikini’.
