Maxim India has released its annual Hot 100 list of ladies for this year -- we bring you the top 30.
Here's a look at the women who topped magazine Maxim India's 2012 Hot 100 list -- actresses, models, even a reality star or two.
And interestingly, not everyone in the list is Indian!
1. Kareena Kapoor
Bollywood's reigning actress emerged victorious -- 31-year-old Bebo is a force to be reckoned with, when it comes to both talent and tantalising looks!
2. Deepika Padukone

Hot on Kareena's heels is the Bangalorean beauty, 26. Dippy's a former supermodel, so it's not surprising that she's always ramp-ready.
3. Bipasha Basu
