Sweet salaries for Indian ‘eye candy’ • 10.30.08
Many established Bollywood beauties have recently taking on a new role - posing in skimpy outfits for international magazines. The risque photo spreads are jacking up magazine sales and added some hefty amounts to the bank balances of various Indian divas.
So far, the list of foreign magazines seeking open-minded Indian models includes Vogue, Conde Nast, Harper’s Bazaar, Maxim, Hello, Rolling Stone, People, Housekeeping and Marie Claire.
Former Miss India winner Gul Panag recently posed in revealing black lingerie on the cover of the men’s magazine Maxim. She follows in the scantily clad footsteps of sub-continental starlets such as Neha Dhupia, Amrita Arora, Deepika Padukone, Shreya
Saran, Minissha Lamba, Mallika Sherawat, Amisha Patel, Shilpa Shetty and Soha Ali Khan.
Needless to say, Gul Panag, like the others, worked out endlessly, stuck to a strict diet and reduced herself to the coveted “size zero” to fit into the perfect bikini and hot pants.
