Chitrangada Singh's HOTTEST Avatars

Some make rules. Others bend them. Like Chitrangada Singh.

There is nothing conventional about the lovely actress and her career.

She was already married (to golfer Jyoti Randhawa) and almost 30 years old when she made her debut in Hindi films with Sudhir Mishra's critically-acclaimed, Hazaaron Khwaishen Aisi.

While the industry hailed her as the next Smita Patil, the stunner took a break from movies to enjoy motherhood and take care of her baby boy, Zorawar.

A few years later she was back on the scene in a smokin' hot avatar and making her presence felt like never before. 

Here's looking at the Inkaar lady in her sexiest avatars.

In her upcoming movie, again with Mishra, Chitrangada plays an ambitious career woman who makes some serious accusations against her senior colleague (Arjun Rampal).

The role required her to shed a lot of inhibitions, perform intimate scenes and look seriously hot all the time.

To break her image as a thinking actor unfit for mainstream cinema, Chitrangada signed up to play a raunchy item girl strutting her stuff, along the lines of Madhuri Dixit's enticing dance in Sailaab, to Joker's Kaafirana.

Shirish Kunder's sci-fi fantasy may have embarrassed many but it only proved advantageous for this sensual beauty.

Previously, she made a conscious effort in her transformation from serious to scorching to portray Akshay Kumar's knockout professor cum girlfriend by teasing him with mini-stripping sessions to memorise his syllabus better in Rohit Dhawan's inane comedy Desi Boyz.

Part of the new, super HOT Chitrangada campaign is featuring on glossies that highlight this virtue with productive enthusiasm. 

Here's a sample of the luscious Virgo doing just that as Maxim's cover gal.

Chitrangada plays a yummy bone of contention between two brother in Onir's Sorry Bhai!, a remake of Hollywood's Dan in Real Life. 

Though the movie failed, our girl didn't fare too bad.

Her innate poise, glamour and exquisite body language make Chitrangada an easy favourite of photographers and magazine editors to make dazzling pictures. 

And going by the end result, the lady seldom disappoints.

If there's one actress who knows how to use her eyes like weapons, it's her. 

Feel those 'come hither' vibes she's sending off from the cover of FHM?

The sexy star doesn't restrict her allure to celluloid or covers alone.

She's just as magnificent in person or red carpet.

One of Bollywood's most impeccably turned out fashionistas, Chitrangada loves to dabble with both -- all-time classics and no-holds barred edgy.
