All the babes in Bollywood are good-looking but the cut-throat competition has forced many to resort to extreme exposure to draw extra attention. Mallika Sherawat is perhaps the most successful amongst the hot babes. She is a blend of beauty, brain and talent. Above all, she is bold.

Yes, Mallika became a rage following her splendid performance in the film Murder. The whole world came to know her when she appeared at the Cannes Film Festival to promote The Myth, starring Jackie Chan. She became the most expensive item girl after being paid Rs.1.5 crore for her item number in Aap Ka Surroor. She became even hotter after the success of Welcome.

No doubt this sexy babe has come a long way but she is not immune to failure. The news is doing the rounds that the failure of her recent films Ugly Aur Pagli and Maan Gaye Mughall-E-Azam has affected her market prize. The actress, who otherwise demands Rs.1 to 1.5 crores per film after the success of Welcome, has dropped her fee to Rs.75 lakhs. It is said that she has settled for Rs.75 lakhs for a film to be produced by Zee Group and directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia.

Well, this actress surely knows how to turn the heat on and strike back. Watch out guys!
