It's not an easy thing to create a name in the glamorous world of Bollywood. But many actresses feel that by showing skin they can get an instant fame. By doing this, they do get famous for sometime but to sustain in the industry one also needs to have talent. Here are the list of such heroines who raised eyebrows with their very first film and bold acts.

Mallika Sherawat - In her very first film, Khwaish, Mallika Sherawat had 17 liplocks with co-star Himanshu Malik. In her next film, Murder opposite Emraan Hashmi, she gave many bold scenes.

Udita Goswani - Udita began her career as a model and she did many ads including Pepsi, Titan Watches and Nokia. She debuted in Bollywood with Pooja Bhatt's film Paap. The actress gave many steamy scenes in her movie.
