Year after year we see thousands of aspirants flock towards Bollywood to make their mark in the world of fame. Unfortunately, most of these starlets, HOT as they may be often fade into oblivion or simply stay and stagnate for the rest of their lives. Here are some drop dead gorgeous babes who have everything it takes to get to the top... but simply haven't arrived.
Shilpa Shetty: When Shilpa Shetty first entered Bollywood, she was one of the few actresses who had the perfect vital stats of 36-24-36. She did briefly enjoy the number one spot, but soon fizzled out until she got her Big Break in UK based reality show Big Brother. Since then she has launched her own fragrance, produced her own yoga video and as reported by various publications, she is also going to produce her own movies! Hot stuff huh?

One must admit that Shilpa Shetty has had to work quite hard to get to the top and even though she's all over television, newspapers, websites and tabloids, she hasn't been signed on by any Bigg banners as yet. Regardless, Shilpa Shetty for her oomph, bravado and sheer elegance in saris is our HOT 1 Bollywood beauty.
Lara Dutta: Miss India 2000, Lara Dutta had the international panel of judges floored when she walked the Miss Universe ramp in a red bikini. She soon entered films but didn't manage to carve a niche for herself. With movies that ranged from lukewarm to cold, we pick Lara Dutta as out HOT 2 beauty for her poise, voice and dusky beauty.

Neha Dhupia: She gained immense popularity for her confidence and polished answers during Miss India 2002. Unfortunately, she barely made it into the top 10 at the Miss Universe pageant. She subsequently decided to turn to films but after a series of flops and a film called Julie the actress was nowhere near the top. Regardless, Neha Dhupia is our HOT 3 for her luscious lips and appealing stats...

Riya Sen: The granddaughter of one of the most beautiful actresses from yesteryear, we all had a lot of our hopes vested in her success. Unfortunately, when we think of Riya Sen it must be asked – how does one define success. Eighteen movies and an MMS scandal later Riya Sen is our HOT 4 for her girl-next-door looks, her expressive eyes and her hot and happening figure.

Aarti Chhabria: An actress, item and starlet through and through, Aarti has acted in more than 15 films since 2001. Unfortunately, most of them flopped. Regardless, with her irresistible aura of raw desire, Aarti Chhabria is our HOT 5.
