While Bipasha and Shilpa may have not tasted as much success domestically as Aishwarya, they project a more assertive image of Indian women, making them hot prospects for Hollywood. Both have eluded the top tier of Bollywood’s film industry because of their smoldering looks and lack of emoting.

They both have had some experience overseas, Bipasha with her modeling career and recent appearance at the New Seven Wonders of the World and Shilpa with her win of the latest Celebrity Big Brother show. The wholesome, traditional female persona doesn’t seem to cut it in Hollywood. What does is the ability to charm the world press, embracing controversy instead of shying away, and oozing sensuality.

Bipasha, who’s been described as hot by none other than US actor Richard Gere, may just be India’s next export. She was recently propositioned by agent Simone Sheffield, (who is based in California and also Aishwarya’s rep) with three projects during their mutual stay in Lisbon for the New Seven Wonders of the World show.
