Navratri time to experiment with fashion: Malaika Arora Khan

For style icon Malaika Arora Khan, Navratri is the time to experiment with clothes, hair and make up.

"Navratri is a time to really experiment purely because girls really love dressing up while playing garba. Their clothes are so colourful...," the 39-year-old told reporters at a launch event.

"Nowadays you can really experiment, you don't stop at plain. Whether it is tattoo, nail art, hair extensions, they all love experimenting," she added.

Malaika said as a teenager she used to haggle with her mother to let her play dandia.

"I remember when we were small, we used to cry and beg to go down and play dandia. My mom used to be very strict, she used to say, no. I only have these memories, we wanted to dress up and play dandia," Malaika said.

The actress, who produced the Dabangg series, is planning to start her next production by the end of the year or early next year.

Malaika Arora Khan is indeed the item queen of Bollywood. With smashing hits like Chaiyya Chaiyya and Munni Badnam in her kitty, her absolutely stunning looks and sensational dance moves make her one of the most sought out item girls in Bollywood.

A R Rahman's composition, Sukhwinder Singh's voice, a running train, hills and to add to the sight you've Shah Rukh and Malaika. Yes! We're talking about Chaiyaan Chaiyaan from Dil Se. The song not only highlighted Malaika's curves she also came across as an raunchy beauty in the song. So much so that people still remember her as 'Chaiyaan Chaiyaan girl'.

Malaika's desi avatar has always been a hit and right from day one the song raked up at the chart busters. Her zandu baam step became so famous that almost all the actress' performed at the song at various shows. The song was one of the biggest hits of the year.

Malaika escalated the hotness meter with her scintillating performance in the song. Not only Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor, we all swayed to her moves.

For the second time Malaika was paired up with King Khan for an item number and once again took away the lime light. Malaika was at her sexiest best in the song.

Malaika's oomph factor in the song was a treat to the eyes. We can't expect anyone else to do this number with so much of panache and elegance.

She had thirteen other girls to match up with but Malaika outnumbered all others with her panache and elegant dance moves. In her diva avatar she had all the men saying 'jee lene de is pal ko'.

Richa Sharma's soulful voice and desire in Malaika's eye made this song one of the most popular song of the year. Although the star cast in itself was the highlight, the song made huge waves.

Katrina is hotter than Malaika

Katrina Kaif and Malaika Arora Khan are most enviable item bombs who can set the screen on fire at any given instant of time. They have roared with most popular item number songs in 2010 fighting for top position as the Hottest Item Girls of 2010. It is true that they made many top heroines eye on item songs which give instantaneous money for fewer efforts.

Songs don’t just need lyrics to create a stir. The latka and jhatkas with bump n grinds have become intrinsic to success to top the charts. One of the popular news papers has conducted a survey with 3.43 Lakh voters where majority was clearly for Katrina taking over Malaika.
