An icon's sex-appeal is timeless in a fan's memory.
Subscribing to this thought, UK-based magazine Eastern Eye generated a list of 50 Sexiest Bollywood Stars of all time.
Here's an exclusive look at our pick of 10 celebrities who made it.
Zeenat Aman
Chura liya hai still works. Bollywood's original sex symbol wipes out any traces of competition to top this list.
Effortlessly sensual, the leggy star of films like Hare Rama Hare Krishna and Satyam Shivam Sundaram regaled the seventies with her Lorenesque poise and uninhibited sensibility.
In 1966, Dharmendra took off his shirt to flaunt an inherently well-built torso in Phool Aur Patthar. If the ladies experienced a fantasy overload, men craved to have a body like his.
A flawless mix of fabulously handsome, palpable goodness and muscular charm, Bollywood's beloved Veeru stakes claim on third spot.
The whip-lashing femme fatale of the 1930s makes her presence felt at number 34.
Born Mary Ann Evans, Fearless Nadia gained popularity with her work in Hunterwali, a moniker she was fondly addressed by for years after she essayed the titular role in the iconic action-packed drama.
Despite her Caucasian roots and unconventional attitude, Fearless Nadia carved a niche in Hindi cinema as India's original stunt queen. Now that's hot!
One look at Madhubala drenched from head to toe, crinkling her nose impishly in response to Kishore Kumar's melodic flirtations of Ek ladki bheegi bhaagi si is enough to know why she's sitting pretty in second place.
Clearly the ultimate beauty could be the greatest temptress as well.
When it comes to Hrithik Roshan, two things are not for negotiation. A) His dancing skills. B) His Greek-God looks.
Sculpted to perfection, the man's a living dream. Add to that a touch of vulnerability and warmth, the Kites star seems accessible too. Roshan makes it at number 7.
Sexy isn't always in your face. The doe-eyed Katrina Kaif at 39th spot confirms just that.
Her gentle looks and serene disposition conjures a flower-like simplicity, which is both -- pleasant and irresistible.
At the same time she can be a fiery diva who's too elegant to go overboard. And that's simply va-va-voom.
The image of a seductively gyrating super hot woman in a slinky body suit amidst shiny disco balls is deeply etched in every Bollywood aficionado's mind.
Parveen Babi's feline allure in Jawani jaaneman (Namak Halal) is killer stuff!
Regardless of her eventually tragic end, there's no denying this unrivalled beauty her place in the industry. It's sixth spot for Ms Babi.
Sexy? And knows it too? Quite a weapon, that. Glossy to perfection, Rekha understands this only too well.
The actress with her deeply engulfing voice, endowed figure and shapely mouth (make-up that cannot be faulted) re-defines sexy as a refined state of mind.
One which she's always in. Eastern Eye places the Umrao Jaan star at number 20.
I can talk sexy. I can walk sexy. And that's why they put King Khan on the list at number 30.
Whether it's his boyish attitude, casual demeanour, savvy intellect, playful smile or come-hither eyes, SRK breathes drama in any Raj, Rahul he picks to spew romance like only he can. If that's not hot, what is?
Sexy has many faces. And so Yahoo-man grabs fifth spot.
The undeniably cute (follow him on Twitter and you'll know what we mean) is quite the hottie.
From rolling violently in the snow for his girl to tagging along all the way through a mountain path, Shammi Kapoor has a song for every occasion and explanation behind all that tomfoolery.
