10 imported heroines Bollywood loves

Katrina Kaif: London's loss has been Bollywood's gain. Katrina Kaif needs no introduction - she's talented, beautiful and has a great fan following. This former British Indian model made her Bollywood debut with Kaizad Gustad's box office bomb Boom in 2003, but hit big time in 2007 with Vipul Shah's Namastey London and since then, she's been in hit movie after hit movie including: Welcome (2007), Race (2008), New York (2009), Rajneeti (2010) and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011). She's even at the top of the item girl list with Sheila Ki Jawani from Tees Maar Khan and Chikni Chameli Agneepath.

Kat is currently shooting for the upcoming movie Ek Tha Tiger opposite Salman Khan.

Nathalia: Nathalia Pinheiro Felipe Martins, a deadly mix of Brazilian and Punjabi blood who won the Kingfisher Calendar Hunt 2012, is making her Bollywood debut with Ram Gopal Verma's film Department which is yet to release. She will be doing an item number to the much-hyped Dan Dan song.

Amy Jackson: This British model has wasted no time making her presence felt, both on screen and off it. Amy Jackson made her debut opposite actor Prateik in the movie, Ekk Deewana Tha, which released last month and, if rumour is to be believed, is also living with him now.

She won Miss Liverpool in 2009 and Miss Teen World in 2008.

Recently, Amy walked the ramp as showstopper for designer Bhairavi Jaikishan during the Lakme Fashion Week.

Jacqueline Fernandez: Murder 2 girl Jacqueline Fernandez, is a former Miss Sri Lanka, who made her Bollywood debut in 2009, opposite actor Riteish Deshmukh, in Sujoy Ghosh directed Aladin, for which she even received an International Indian Film Academy Award and Stardust Award for Best Female Debut in 2010.

Currently she is working on two big Bollywod projects- Housefull 2: The Dirty Dozen, which is set to release next month in April and Race 2 which is expected to hit the theatres in November this year.

Barbara Mori: Beautiful Mexican model and actress Barbara Mori's debut movie Kites sank without a trace in 2010, but she made headlines for a rumoured affair with co-star Hrithik Roshan.

Candice Boucher: South African model and Playboy centrefold Candice Boucher made her Bollywood debut in Prashant Chadha directed action film Aazaan, opposite entrepreneur turned actor Sachiin J Joshi in 2011. Candice said Bollywood was not a planned career move and that the director had to convince her to be in his film.

Giselli Monteiro: Brazilian model Giselli Monteiro made her Bollywood debut opposite actor Saif Ali Khan in 2009 released Love Aaj Kal, directed by Imtiaz Ali. The film was a hit at the box office and Giselli has since carved out a niche both modeling and acting. We last saw her in the SRK produced film Always Kabhi Kabhi.

Denise Richards: This is, perhaps, the biggest Hollywood name to have appeared on the Bollywood marquee. But even Denise's presence, albeit in a small role, couldn't save 2008 movie, Kambakkht Ishq from bombing. She even shared a kiss with co-star Akshay Kumar in the movie and had the last word: "Akshay is a great kisser."

Camilla Belle: American actress Camilla Belle is already a name to reckon with in Hollywood and starred in the big budget 10,000 BC (2008). She made her Bollywood debut with Robert Lieberman directed Speedy Singhs. The movie which released on 23rd September, 2011, was a huge letdown at the box office.

Ali Larter: Heroes actress Ali Larter starred opposite Salman Khan in 2007, in the movie Marigold, which was a super-flop at the box office. She played the lead role alongside Salman.
