PICS: How Bipasha made it to the top

Bipasha Basu may arguably be the hottest actress in Bollywood today. However, this sexy siren of our generation (as most others) started as a gawky model years ago. Although Vikram Bhatt's Raaz was one of her initial claims to fame, it took another Bhatt to truly catapult her into limelight – Mahesh Bhatt. The film hoardings of Jism with Bipasha dressed in a seductive black dress were all over the city. And from there on it was a ride that very few may have predicted. Her career graph may have had something to do with her bust line. But over the years Bips has indeed proved herself by portraying all kinds of characters. And then again, her sizzling chemistry with John Abraham got them both enough attention… and endorsements. Take a look at some of her rare old pictures in this gallery and you'll know why we call hers the biggest transformation in Bollywood...

This picture has been shot years ago at a party. And a picture, as they say, speaks a thousand words.

While Raaz pretty much established her as a sex symbol, off screen Bipasha seemed keen on playing it safe for a while.

But then again when you have something to flaunt, flaunt it! A lesson that Bips learnt somewhere along the way.

With an alleged boob job, Bips arrived on the scene once again, this time slightly more enhanced than before.

Ahem... of course the enhancements did help her to a certain extent. To date Bipasha remains the only Bollywood heroine to star in a mobile game.

With her modelling background, Bipasha is also a hot favourite amongst designers in India. She's walked for Narendra Kumar this Lakme Fashion Week. Here she is showing a piece on the ramp for her next film, Race.

Bipasha and John's on and off romance has been enough to garner publicity for their individual films. No Smoking, for instance, starred Ayesha Takia in the main lead. But the song we saw the most was this one...

As of now Bipasha and John are seemingly together. Call it a marketing gimmick or what you will, the fact is that in a country obsessed with fair skin, Bipasha has inched her way to the very top. And that is worth an applaud. Take a bow, Bips..
