She looked effortless and not at all conscious about donning it.
Jhanvi Kulkarni Sonavne, 27, architect <img title="Jhanvi Kulkarni Sonavne" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2015/aug/13-Jhanvi-Kulkarni-Sonavne.jpg" alt="Jhanvi Kulkarni Sonavne" /> It is undoubtedly Katrina Kaif&rsquo;s neon orange monokini in Bang Bang. As it is, she looks sizzling hot all the time.
Yasmin Singh, 27, sales executive <img title="Yasmin Singh" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2015/aug/13-Yasmin-Singh.jpg" alt="Yasmin Singh" /> Sonam Kapoor is known to be a clothes horse and by sporting a bikini in Beswakoofiyaan, she proved that she looks great in a risqu&eacute; avatar too.
Vivek Salain, 25, sales executive <img title="Harsh Parekh" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2015/aug/13-Vivek-Salain.jpg" alt="Harsh Parekh" /> Deepika Padukone carried herself really well in Cocktail; none of her contemporaries have done as much justice to a bikini.
Harsh Parekh, 28, creative producer <img title="Harsh Parekh" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2015/aug/13-Harsh-Parekh.jpg" alt="Harsh Parekh" /> Deepika Padukone takes home the trophy while Nargis Fakhri comes a close second because we keep seeing the latter&rsquo;s bikini pictures often and so, there is not much freshness about it.
Wilson Pareira, 29, social media manager <img title="Wilson Pareira" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2015/aug/13-Wilson-Pareira.jpg" alt="Wilson Pareira" /> Nargis Fakhri is sizzling, comes with a package, is not too fair, not muscular, not as tall as a coconut tree. She is perfection personified.
Abhishek Dutta, 26, social media manager <img title="Abhishek Dutta" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2015/aug/13-Abhishek-Dutta.jpg" alt="Abhishek Dutta" /> Alia Bhatt is the winner hands down. She has that mass youth connect as she is not the perfect bikini babe that we can only dream of. When I saw her in the bikini, I could imagine that my girlfriend would look sexy in a two-piece too.
