Shilpa Shetty has always been the hottest bod in the business. And this time she's out to prove it. In the good 'ol days, our Indian actresses didn't dare to bear. But now they seem to give in to their 'script's demands' and get under their character's skin so much that the character's skin actually shows – the curves, cleavage, cracks and what not!

And though Shilpa had a body to die for – every woman's envy and every man's treat – it was Kareena Kapoor's bikin show in Tashan and 'size zero' hungama that was the talk of the town - this after Esha Deol's flashboard abs display in Dhoom , Aishwarya's crazy avatar in Dhoom 2 , and Bipasha Basu's sizzling hot body in the same film.

It was then Minissha Lamba's turn. The girl lost her baby fat and transformed into babe in Sanjay Gadhvi's Kidnap . She wore the bikini, swam the deep seas and walked on cloud no. 9. She made it to the front pages, too. As if this wasn't enough, Priyanka Chopra now has us stunned in Dostana . Her emergence in a golden swimsuit from the clear blue waters ala Ursula Andress has the men ogling at her in a way never imagined. The sweet girl next door has now become a 'golden fantasy' for most.

So while these women are being talked about and dreamt of, where is the original hot bod Shilpa Shetty? Well, she was nowhere in the picture, until now! The girl who had disappeared in the oblivion – thanks to her no body show - now appears from the horizon having surrendered to the two-piece in Karan Johar's Dostana . And the original hot bod is all set to win back the 'hot' trophy, and have the men and women returning to her, her oomphy status all over again!

In this fight of the water babies, who'll make the maximum waves? Who cares, as long as all and sundry are loving this tornado that has struck Bollywood!
