Bollywood's Top 10 hotties rocking eBay
If Shah Rukh Khan leads the brat pack on eBay's Bollywood Barometer, the girls aren't behind either.
Here's a look at the top 10 actresses' merchandise in demand on the site.
10. Shilpa Shetty
Looks like neither marriage to businessman Raj Kundra nor long absences from the silver screen could diminish the leggy star's popularity.
Perhaps her stint as Rajasthan Royals owner or glamorous fashion spreads on magazines has got something to do with it?
What next: R Sarath's The Desire (Xia Yu, Jaya Pradha)
9. Deepika Padukone
Barely four years old in the industry, Deepika Padukone is already an A-lister.
And so whether it's her Cannes debut or comic role in Housefull, she gets a reaction out of everyone.
While her acting chops are mostly debatable, Padukone has acted in an interesting set of movies -- Om Shanti Om, Bachna Ae Haseeno, Love Aaj Kal and Karthik Calling Karthik.
What next: Ashutosh Gowariker's Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey (Abhishek Bachchan), Danish Aslam's Break Ke Baad (Imran Khan).
8. Priyanka Chopra
No one has quite evolved in their career like Priyanka Chopra has.
From doing routine roles to coming into her own as an actress to reckon with through films like Fashion and Kaminey whilst boosting her sexy status with a trendy Dostana.
Moviegoers can't have enough of this beauty, on screen and, apparently, eBay too.
What next: Vishal Bhardwaj's Saat Khoon Maaf (Naseeruddin Shah, John Abraham, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Irrfan Khan), Siddharth Anand's Anjaana Anjaani (Ranbir Kapoor, Zayed Khan), Farhan Akhtar's Don 2: The Chase Continues (Shah Rukh Khan.)
7. Katrina Kaif
While she's at the top of game on every conceivable popularity list, Katrina Kaif is positioned surprisingly low on the eBay countdown.
Having said that, you can't ignore the fact that Ms Kaif boasts of an exceptionally successful oeuvre with mostly hits like Namastey London, Race, Partner, Welcome, Singh is Kinng, New York and Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani.
What next: Prakash Jha's Raajneeti (Ranbir Kapoor, Nana Patekar, Arjun Rampal, Ajay Devgn), Farah Khan's Tees Maar Khan (Akshay Kumar), Zoya Akhtar's Raging with the bulls (Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol, Kalki Koechlin).
6. Madhuri Dixit
Out of sight, out of mind. Says who?
Even though she's not doing any movies at the moment and happy playing homemaker in the US, the million-dollar smile lady continues to conjure fond memories with her legacy of fabulous films and powerhouse performances.
You know what would be really great? To see Mads back in action, Aaja Nachle fiasco notwithstanding.
What next: Nothing for now.
5. Preity Zinta
There was a time when her perky dimples and cherubic giggles made the big screen come alive. Post Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, however, things haven't looked up for PZ.
While we still enjoy her cheering for Kings XI Punjab as one of IPL's most enthusiastic bosses, it would be really nice to have her get off twitter and rub off that signature charm on celluloid again. Nevertheless, she's good to go at number 5.
What next: Jahnu Barua's Har Pal (Dharmendra, Shiney Ahuja).
4. Kajol
Everyone loves Kajol. The actress, who is expecting again, makes even the most mediocre films come alive with her commanding screen presence and pot loads of talent.
Even after she took a break from a flourishing career to settle down with hubby Ajay Devgn and daughter Nysa, her fans were only too happy to embrace her like she's never left with the success of films like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Fanaa and recently My Name is Khan.
What next: Siddharth Malhotra's Love You Maa (Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal).
3. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
She is one of India's biggest stars for a reason. From shimmering on international red carpets to radiating loveliness on screen, Ash performs in superlatives.
No one can escape the allure of her much-acclaimed beauty showcased to the hilt in films like Devdas, Dhoom 2 and Jodhaa Akbar. Fans are only too happy to translate their affections on eBay as well.
What next: Mani Ratnam's Raavan (Abhishek Bachchan, Vikram, Govinda), Shankar's Endhiran (Rajnikant), Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Guzaarish (Hrithik Roshan), Vipul Amrutlal Shah's Action Replay (Akshay Kumar, Neha Dhupia).
2. Rani Mukerji
And you thought she's finished?
Despite a series of debacles at the box office, Rani proves that she's still got what it takes to feature on second spot of eBay's Bollywood Barometer.
Previously praised for her nuanced work in films like Black, Bunty Aur Babli, Saathiya and Yuva, Rani reiterates exquisite talent cannot be kept down for too long.
What next: Rajkumar Gupta's No One Killed Jessica (Vidya Balan).
1. Kareena Kapoor
There's more to Bebo than size zero and Saif Ali Khan.
The bespectacled cutie of 3 Idiots is a natural born actress. Every time a filmmaker figures that out, he extracts a performance of a lifetime.
Jab We Met, Omkara, Yuva are cases in point. No wonder some of her best work has tremendous repeat value. And that's what makes her eBay's number one actress.
What next: Satish Kaushik's Mileng Milenge (Shahid Kapoor), Siddharth Malhotra's Love you Maa (Kajol, Arjun Rampal), Sriram Raghvan's Agent Vinod (Saif Ali Khan), Anubhav Sinha's Ra.One (Shah Rukh Khan, Arjun Rampal), Golmaal 3 (Ajay Devgn).
