Crackling, charismatic actresses

They light up the screen with their crackling charisma. This Diwali, we thought of adorning attractive Bollywood divas with monikers that coincide with patakhas! Here's a look... Bijli bomb Bipasha: Bong bombshell, Bipasha Basu worked out for months to look smoking hot in red hair and bikini in 'Dhoom 2'. And who can forget her sensuous moves and grooves in 'Beedi Jalaile'?

Atom bomb Katrina: Her debut was a dud 'Boom', but then she burst into the scene with some hits. After that, there was no looking back for Katrina Kaif.

Pataka Koena: She manages to crackle the screen with her sizzling gyrations in item numbers. Koena Mitra rules is the 'hatke' item girl, chic and classy.

Laddi Lara: Lara Dutta is all set to paint the town 'Blue'. With her Diwali dhamaka release, the leggy actress is the rage among her fans. (Pic: Maxim)

Eco-friendly patakha Amrita: She took a 'shortkut' and decided to shed her girl-next-door image. Amrita Rao is the 'it' girl in B-town. Exotic looking Amrita makes sure that her short time on-screen is supa-hot. (Pic: Maxim)

Anar Aishwarya: With her ethereal looks and svelte body, she sparks up a dull moment. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has emerged as one of the most sought after actresses and has maintained her status quo.
