PIX: Bollywood actresses, now and then!

All of us love keeping up with the times and Bollywood beauties are no exception. And the most amusing part of this process is the transformation they've gone through over the years.

We pulled out pictures to revisit the early days of some of our top actresses in the industry. The change is startling to say the least. Have a look!

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Ash has come to be known as an epitome of fashion fabulousness and maybe an occassional trendsetter. But it's taken her years of experience to reach where she is today.

Priyanka Chopra, as we know her now, is an actress with a killer body, all the possible designer names that matter in her closet and the most coveted roles in her kitty.

The current pin-up girl of Bollywood has come a long way ever since she stepped into the limelight with her beauty pagaent win.

An excited 18-year-old Priyanka was crowned Miss World at the Millennium Dome in London in 2000. Isn't she almost unrecognisable here?

Mallika Sherawat, who's shifted base to Los Angeles, hobnobs with Hollywood royalty and even US president Obama (or so she claims) and will soon be seen in a prominent role in a Hollywood film titled Politics of Love.

Here, she was clicked while attending the the 83rd Annual Academy Awards held at the Kodak Theatre in Februrary this year.

Although Kat started out as a model, she had an angelic baby face when she ventured into showbiz in India. And what's more telling than this picture where she walked the ramp for Rohit Verma's Spring/Summer Collection way back in 2003.

Kareena made everybody drool with her stunning appearance in Kambakht Ishq. She looked delishly beautifull and we can't stress that more.

Kareena is that ultimate quintessential clotheshorse today.

It's hard to believe now that a stunner like Kareena actually started out as a baby-faced actress who was mostly frumpy. Case in point: This picture from 2003 where the actress was present at the launch of Seventeen magazine's India edition.

Bipasha Basu is a hottie alright. Even if it's just making a dash for a casual brunch or running an errand, she is at her hottest best.

The actress was recently spotted coming out of her hotel during IIFA celebrations in Toronto.

But it took her a lot of years and effort ot achieve what we admire today. Doesn't she seem to be an entirely different person?

This picture is from 2000 when the actress walked the ramp in Kolkata as a model.
