The Sri Lankan beauty queen has jumped a step ahead this year by being the 7th most desirable woman in India from her number 8 last year. How do you feel on winning the 'desirable' tag? Unlike many, I am not going to act as if 'desirable' is just another tag.

It was a tough competition for me and I am extremely excited and happy! The fact that people voted for me makes me feel I am reaching out to them. I am attracting attention.

What makes you desirable for men? Everybody likes variety. I have done bubbly roles, then bolder one in Murder.

If you keep doing the same things, people get over you. I have decided to take up the challenge of giving varied performances.

Do you think Murder helped you jump a position higher in the list? Last year I was 8th most Desirable and this year I am 7th. Its just one position so I don't think Murder is the reason however the film did well at the box office.

A film's success plays a huge role in an actresses' popularity. Murder did put me under spotlight.

It got me more attention. Who according to you is most Desirable? Vidya Balan .

She is everything a woman wants to be. In an industry where actresses go through tremendous pressure of looking pretty, thin, glamorous constantly, this is one actress who is comfortable in her skin.

She is so real on and off the screen. She is not pretentious.

She is confident of who she is and that makes her enviable and desirable. I loved The Dirty Picture.

To be precise, Bebo compliments Imran's derriere and rates it with a generous 8/10 while Imran rates Kareena 4/10! Of course, one also thought it would be interesting to know what Imran thought of the backsides of the other beautiful women in B-Town. The actor was reluctant to do the exercise.

However, on being coerced, he agreed. He also said, "I would have given Bebo a 8.

5/10 for her curvaceous backside." What stopped him, though, was her beau Saif's bulky biceps.

"I don't want to be too enthusiastic, Saif looks beefed up these days." He gave Deepika Padukone a whopping 9/10 and said, "Best behind in the business!" Imran finds Priyanka Chopra a natural beauty, and Kat not as curvy as she used to be, scored 8/10 and 7/10 respectively.

"Kat has lost too much weight," he adds (less)

..

2) Katrina Kaif Who: Actress Claim to Fame: She had a good year, beginning with the hit "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara", where she played a gorgeous go-getter opposite Hrithik Roshan's surly-burly executive, an item number in "Bodyguard" and lastly, as the tomboyish bride in "Mere Brother Ki Dulhan". Relationship Status: Rumoured to be seeing Ranbir Kapoor again.

Desirability Quotient: Last year's queen of desire had to give up her crown and sceptre to make way for Bebo. Does that make her any less desirable? Our voters seem to think so.

Fun fact: Personal life rocking now that she's back with Ranbir Kapoor. Professionally things can't get better.

She has films opposite Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan. Watch out competition.

And she is Aditya Chopra's current muse! Some girls DO have it all. 3)Deepika Padukone Who: Actress Claim To Fame: The former model stuck to roles that required her to ooze glamour and dollops of oomph ("Desi Boyz") and perform ("Aarakshan").

And who can forget that sexy item number in "Dum Maaro Dum". Relationship Status: Single.

DQ: Our voters' thoughts? Her playing it safe paid off, she moved up one spot on the list. fun fact: She's freshly single and will soon act with ex-beau Ranbir Kapoor.

4)Priyanka Chopra Who: Actress Claim To Fame: With performance-driven roles in "7 Khoon Maaf" and "Don-2", she stayed in the public eye. Was also a regular at several high-profile star parties.

She also announced her friendship with Lady Gaga, her intention to turn singer and an international album in the offing. Relationship Status: Single.

Currently mingling with one Shah Rukh Khan. DQ: She switched spots with Deepika.

What led to the slip? We're guessing the voters don't find aspiring 'singers' too desirable..

. Fun fact: Right now, she is banned from the Mannat guestlist.

Maybe signing "Don 3" will put a smile on her face. 5) Anushka Sharma Who: Actress Claim To Fame: Her off-on chemistry/romance with Ranveer Singh.

Yash Raj Films' second fav girl who did several high-profile ads this past year. Had two releases "Patiala House" and "Ladies vs Ricky Bahl".

Relationship Status: Single. Or with Ranveer Singh.

It's complicated. For them.

And us! DQ: She's sexy, outspoken, fiercely independent. fun fact: She was number 21 last year.

What caused her leap this year? She's not telling! 6) Vidya Balan Who: Actress. Claim to fame:.

Her voluptuous curves had the audience going crazy in "The Dirty Picture". Let's not forget her deadly performance in "Ishqiya" and "No One Killed" Jessica.

Relationship Status: Dating Bollywood's other SRK..

DQ: Curves are back in fashion because of Vidya! Move over size zero. Fun Fact: This bold and beautiful actress is the brand ambassador for hatke cinema.

7) Jacqueline Fernandez Who: Actress Claim to fame: Her never-ending legs in "Murder 2" and the "Dhanno" song from "Housefull". Relationship Status: Dating Sajid Khan.

DQ: She went from being sweet and innocent Riteish Deshmukh's object of adoration to Emraan Hashmi's object of desire. fun fact: She's already lost two films because she is following beau's diktat of not exposing.

Hope it's worth it. 8)Nargis Fakhri Who: Model CLAIM TO FAME: The Czech-born popular swimsuit calendar model made her film debut in 2011 in " Rockstar ".

Before that she briefly appeared in "America's Next Top Model". Relationship Status: Single.

Ranbir Kapoor was so yesterday. DQ: Angelic face and great screen presence.

DQ: Ash, who is among the most beautiful women in the world, is currently busy playing mommy to her baby girl. However, rumours about her comeback are already making news.

B-Town can't do without this light-eyed diva. Fun Fact: Move aside, yummy Mummies! When Mrs B sets her foot back in a film studio, she will rewrite all the rules.

Bach ke rehna 'Heroines'. 10) Kangana Ranaut Who: Actress.

Claim to fame: Her desi girl act in "Tanu Weds Manu" had the audience going gaga over her. Then she donned a bikini in "Rascals".

Relationship Status: Dating. DQ: Though Kangana's bikini act couldn't do much for the film, it sure won her a whole lot of admirers.
