Men will kill for her and die for her. Bollywood heroine, Choli Choli Chappa Chappa is loved as much for her buxum figure and tight choli as for the dangerous horse and cart chase scenes that characterise her movies. Whip in hand, Choli is the name men whisper in their dreams.

Anjum Rafiq as Sheedah Badmarsh

Sexy, crime-busting cop by night, devoted wife and mother by day, Diva spent years in the Mumbai Police Academy mastering the art of changing from sari into slinky catsuit in a flash. With gun in hand, this is one Mama Mumbai's criminals do not want to mess with.

Feared across the Punjabi fields, Sheedah Badmarsh soul is as dark as his villainous moustache. Wanted for killing over a hundred men with his bare teeth and ravishing many a fair maiden, this crazed madman is all reasons to keep your doors safely locked at night.
