Quiz: Do you know the names of these hot Indian models?

You've seen them on the runways, magazines, television commercials and occasionally in the movies. But do you know their names?

The thing about being a model in India is that you're rarely ever known by your name.

You'll stand out in a crowd but that's possibly because you're super tall.

And there is a good chance that the person gaping at you is doing so not because s/he's your fan but rather because s/he's trying super hard to place where s/he's seen you.

The women you are about to see in the pages to follow have been featured on Rediff Get Ahead.

And so if you've been following us as religiously as we hope you are, chances are this quiz will be a cakewalk!
