Meet The Haseen Dilrubas Of Bollywood

Full
of
seduction
and
schemes,
she’ll
use
her
sultry
charms
and
slinky
moves
to
trap
and
trick
her
fall
guy
until
he’s
putty
in
her
hands.

Call
her
femme
fatale,
man-eater,
gold-digger
or
temptress,
morality
be
damned
so
long
as
she
gets
her
way.

Continuing
this
tradition,
Taapsee
Pannu’s
twisted
take
on
feminism
in



Haseen
Dillruba
‘s
messy,
perverse
love
story
is
ready
to
unleash
a
brand
new
dose
of
her
siren
song
in
its
sequel,

Phir
Aayi
Hasseen
Dillruba
.


Sukanya
Verma

takes
a
look
at
other

haseen
dilruba
s
of
note.


Bipasha
Basu,

Jism

A
super
attractive
woman
married
to
a
man
of
means
lures
a
hot
hunk
into
doing
her
dirty
work
until
he
realises
money
is
all
she
cares
about
in
Bipasha
Basu’s
smoking
hot
turn
as
the
face
of
seduction.


Katrina
Kaif,

Race

Amidst
Abbas-Mustan’s
umpteen
twists,

Race
‘s
glossy,
irrational
thriller
gets
its
kicks
from
showcasing
doe-eye
Katrina’s
unexpected
transformation
from
devoted
secretary
to
wicked
siren
dancing
to
the
tune
of
money,
money,
money.


Huma
Qureshi,
Monica,

O
My
Darling

Love,
sex,

dhoka

form
the
catchphrases
of
Huma
Qureshi’s
devilish
turn
as
the
titular
heroine
burning
the
screen
as
well
as
blackmailing
the
folks
occupying
it
with
scorching
gusto.


Vidya
Balan,

Dedh
Ishqiya

By
hook
or
crook
is
Vidya
Balan’s
mantra
as
she
bats
eyes
at
a
pair
of
partners
as
distinct
as
cheese
and
chalk
with
ulterior
motives
and
revenge
on
her
mind.


Mahi
Gill,

Sahib
Biwi
Aur
Gangster

Sex
becomes
both
her
need
and
weapon,
proving
she
can
be
as
wily
as
the
self-absorbed
royal
she’s
married
to
when
the
fling
she’s
using
to
her
advantage
becomes
too
big
for
his
boots.


Priyanka
Chopra,

Aitraaz

Fuelled
by
desire,
ambition
and
libido,
this
foxy
social-climber
doesn’t
handle
rejection
too
well.
Akshay
Kumar
finds
out
the
hard
way
after
he
rejects
Priyanka
Chopra’s
advances
in

Aitraaz
.


Kareena
Kapoor,

Fida

The
makers
hoped
audience
would
be
thrilled
to
watch
Kareena
back
stab
Shahid
Kapoor,
a
real-life
couple
back
then,
for
Fardeen
Khan
as
the
conniving,
criminal-minded
vamp
of

Fida
.
They
were
wrong.


Simi
Garewal,

Karz

The
original
Haseena.

Simi’s
dramatic
betrayal,
wherein
she
bumps
off
her
brand
new
husband
for
the
sake
of
money
and
power
ensuing
in
the
man’s
rebirth
from
Raj
Kiran
to
Rishi
Kapoor,
is
still
the
gold
standard
in
devil
woman.


Parveen
Babi,

Namak
Halal

Though
she
realises
the
folly
of
her
ways
towards
the
end,
a
good
chunk
of

Namak
Halal

is
Parveen
Babi
sashaying
in
sexy
numbers
and
sexier
moves
to
entice
or
erase
poor
little
rich
boy
Shashi
Kapoor
from
the
picture.


Helen,

Don

It’s
only
fair
Helen
would
want
to
hurt
Amitabh
Bachchan
who
killed
her
boyfriend
a
few
reels
before.
Except
her
smouldering
seduction
cabaret
in
a
tantalising
outfit
and
extra
catty
contact
lenses
makes
her
retribution
look
a
lot
more
hot
than
hurtful.


Mumtaz,

Mere
Sanam

Slipping
into
temptress
mode
to
tarnish
hero’s
image
and
receive
moolah
from
the
bad
guy
only
to
double
cross
bad
guy
and
snitch
to
the
hero
for
more
moolah,
Mumtaz’s
brand
of
greed
and
gorgeousness
ensue
in
quite
a
heady
combo
in

Mere
Sanam
.
