Hottest B-Town Actresses & Their Marathi Mulgi Avatars

With quite a few Marathi-inspired tracks to hit Bollywood in the recent past, we rate Bollywood actresses who pulled off the lavani and those who fell flat on their pretty faces.

Koena Mitra (Dil Mein Baji Guitar)
Poor Koena looks positively scary in this semi-Marathi mulgi avatar. Why, Apna Sapna Money Money co-star Ritsh Deshmukh looks more feminine in the bit where he cross-dresses.

Vidya Balan (Mala Jau De)
After playing Silk Smitha in The Dirty Picture, Vidya’s been showing off her all-sexed-up avatar quite a bit — from TV ads for chips to this item in the recent release Ferrari Ki Sawari. However, her OTT expressions and awkward dance steps in this one get a huge thumbs down from us.

Pooja Bhatt (Galyan Saakli Sonyachi)
We love this nostalgia-inducing song from this 90s cute love story Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahi, but unfortunately, can’t say the same about Pooja Bhatt’s ability to pull off this genre of folk dance. The backup dancers do a much better job.

Kainaat Arora (Aila Re Aila)
Late Divya Bharti’s cousin sister does justice to this “celebratory” song from Khatta Meetha (she apparently told the media she doesn’t consider it an item number), but we can’t help but focus on Akshay Kumar. Star power, huh?

Chitrangada Singh (I Want Fakht You)
The once-serious actor of Sudhir Mishra’s Hazaron Khwaishen Aisi went the item girl way for Shirish Kunder’s forthcoming film Joker. And we must say Chitrangada looks smoking hot in the number, especially compared to pleasantly (?) plump Sonakshi Sinha.
