Esha just got sexier

The very sexy Esha Deol is hip and happening. Move over Urmila Matondkar; to the back of the class Malaika Arora; as for you, Bipasha — take a break. If you can all do 'item numbers' for Bollywood... why not Esha?

Why not, indeed! Only, the Lady in Red whom AT discovered on the sets of Sunday, prefers not to describe her popping in and out of the film in a dance sequence as an 'item number'. She's doing it for friends, Esha said. "Besides, the number that I am dancing to is kick-ass, and I love dancing, so why not?" she adds.

Meanwhile, the Indian outfits in her personal wardrobe appear to have been replaced by western gowns and mini dresses. "Not at all!" says Esha defensively. "I find saris very sexy.

In fact, I think it's the sexiest of all outfits. In my first film, I had played a very Indian character, but no one really noticed it. I guess my baby-fat overshadowed my clothes then. It's just that people have started noticing me now.

A big thank-you to them! As a girl, when I wake up in the morning and look in the mirror, I want to feel 'Wow!' I want to wear any dress I desire. And today they all fit me! And she looks ravishing in 'em, too, our Lady in Red
