Amrita Rao on cover of Maxim India

Actress Amrita Rao, who has shaken off her girl-next-door image with a sexy makeover, is the latest covergirl of the men’s magazine ‘Maxim” and believes that she is one of the most desirable actors in Bollywood.

The 28 year old actress who played the coy beauty in films like ‘Vivaah’ and ‘Ishq Vishq’ went for a glamorous makeover for ‘Shortcut’ and she continues to sizzle on the cover of the magazine’s October issue.

"Gracing the cover of India’s largest selling men’s magazine was a fantastic opportunity and it just goes to show that I am one of the most desirable actors in tinsel town," said Amrita Rao.

The actress who had reportedly gone under the knife to boost her assets, was photographed wearing a curve hugging white mini said that she was happy with the cover as it made her look sexy without baring it all.

"Maxim represents the sensual woman, the woman within, who reveals her darkest, sauciest secrets. I loved the cover a lot as it portrayed me as natural and sexy without baring everything," said the actress.

The magazine has produced covergirls like Minissha Lamba, Neetu Chandra, Sheryln Chopra and Jiah Khan in earlier editions.

Amrita Rao to be seen in Bikini

Amrita Rao is the latest entry to Bollywood's 'bikini brigade'. The actress is shedding her girl-next-door image and will be seen in a bikini in the song 'Patli Galli' composed by Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy, in the much-awaited film 'Short Kut - The Con Is On'. Amrita's bold appearance is the highlight and the talking point of the film.

Amrita gives complete credit of her glam change to Manish Malhotra, who designed the outfits for her. The actress has no qualms about her ability to adapt to sexy outfits. The actress said that her bold avatar in the film was not a conscious decision.

"Everyone has been asking me whether I made a conscious decision to change my look. This is not the case. I haven't sat and decided that I'm bored with one kind of role so give me something else. It's just that I have got an opportunity to do different roles and I have moulded myself to suit the character," said Amrita.

She was rumored to be dating Shahid Kapoor and Hurman Baweja. But she said that there is no one 'special' in her life right now and she won't think about marriage for the next 10 years.

Amrita Rao wants to have a image change

It was really to shocking hear from cute Vivah Girl-Amrita Rao that she was tired of being called sweet and wants to be known as a bollywood hottie.

She was recently dressed up by Manish Malhotra for a fashion show. That does say something about the characters she has played so far.

“I’m tired of playing the sweet girl next door who looks at life each day with wide-eyed wonder. But I do crave for a change of image. In my next release, ‘Short Cut’ I play a very glamorous girl.” says Amrita.

When asked about this surprising image change statement, Amrita laughs away the query away.
