Bollywood actor Konkona Sen
She is intelligent, sexy,and an unconventional beauty. Her choice of films and roles, depicts her confidence, which is undeniably sexy to a man.
Luke Kenny,Actor
Bollywood actor Shabana Azmi and Konkona Sen
Shabana Azmi is a fine actress and has contributed immensely to her field of work, and to society. She has aged gracefully and was extremely beautiful in her younger days. Her mind and her outlook to life is what makes her attractive.
Konkona's performances in each of her films shines through, irrespective of the fate of the film. She chooses her roles carefully, and it reflects a moral responsibility to her craft. She is extremely opinionated, frank and candid during interviews. Her poise, body language and the simplicity of it all is what makes her very attractive.
Neil Bhoopalam, VJ and Actor
Bollywood actor Soha Ali Khan
She is cute, and doesn't fall into the conventional good looks category, yet there is something immensely attractive about her. As the adage goes, her big round eyes seem like a window to her soul. From what I have read and seen of her, she appears to be intelligent.
Sudhir Mishra,Film director
Bollywood actor Chitrangada Singh and Arundhati Roy
She combines rare beauty and excellent acting talent with ease, exuding an I-don't-belong-to-anyone aura. She blends the quality of independence simultaneously with a kind of a feminine softness. The manner in which she balances her personal life and professional life, and juggles all the various roles in an effortless manner, is very endearing to a man.
Sunny Amlani, 25, Assistant Marketing Manager, Globosport Digital
Bollywood actor Chitrangada Singh
She's gorgeous, and there's an element of mystique about her. She chooses her roles carefully and essays them to perfection, and she doesn't appear to be a bimbette.
Salim Merchant, Music composer
Bollywood actor Priyanka Chopra
She is sexy, carries herself well, articulate and has good timing while talking to the media. As a composer, I find her low-pitched voice very sexy, and quite a turn on.
Nikhil Alva, TV Produceru00a0
Bollywood actor Chitrangada Singh
She is a classy, understated beauty and appears to be quite intelligent from what I have seen of her on TV and read in her interviews. Her public image is impeccable and the fact that she has managed to choose the right roles, speaks a lot about her. She has mesmerising and highly expressive eyes, which are a very sexy asset to most men.
Parijat Kaushik, 23, Business Development Manager, E18
TV host and model Kamal Sidhu
She is sophisticated, well-spoken, well-travelled, which makes her a class apart. She'd be an interesting woman to go on a date with, as she would be able to converse on any topic. Her curly hair and longs legs are huge turn ons.
Tarun Tahiliani fashion designer
Bollywood actor Tabu
For her reserve and ability to choose great films, and keep reinventing herself without being anyone's vision of glam doll in any mould.
Jitish Kallat, Artist
Sushmita Sen andu00a0 Arundhati Roy
Sushmita Sen (of 2007 minus the extra weight) exudes oodles of sexy attitude to match her beauty and intelligence.u00a0 I find Arundhati Royu00a0 appealing in more ways than one.
Akhil Seth, 27, CEO, White Lillies
Bollywood actor, model and former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen
For a woman to appear sexy, she must stand out in a crowd. Sushmita Sen appears to be someone who knows what she is talking about and would instantly garner attention.
Rohan Moradian, 23, Key Accounts Executive for a liquor company
Bollywood actor Sushmita Sen
Her confidence, poise and graceful body language say she is much more than just a beautiful lady.
Sarnath Banerjee, Graphic novelist
Author Lavanya Sankaran
She is a glamour doll with a funny disposition and a naughty sense of humour. She has a very sexy yet intelligent face, and after interacting with her several times, I find her very charming. Her warped way of looking at things, good sense of irony, blended with a
certain silliness, is attractive.
Zafar Karachiwala, Theatre actor
Author and social activist Arundhati Roy
She's hyper intelligent and has the conviction to do what some of us can only dream of. Her integrity to fight against the wrongs of the country is admirable. Her eyes reflect that same conviction, which I find very attractive. I am sure if you were to have a conversation with her, she would be able to talk about anything under the sun. Her simple personality and dressing style mirrors the kind of person she is what you see is what you get.
