My award for the most beautiful woman in a bikini would go to Halle Berry. Sophia Loren wouldn’t have been a bad choice either, but in the end, Halle wins by a slim margin.

I would love to see Aishwarya Rai in a bikini. I’m sure she would look very graceful and sensuous at the same time. Besides, this constant speculation about whether or not she’ll wear one makes it all the more intriguing.

I would also like to see Jessica Alba in a bikini because she’s not just pretty and sexy; she has great quality. I think she’d be the perfect mannequin for a bikini.

If it were not the girls at my scuba diving school in Lakshadweep, it has to be Kamal Sidhu. She has just the right statistics and spunk to carry off a bikini. Very few women can carry off a bikini well. The girls in the Kingfisher calendar 2006 look quite hot, too. Yana Gupta is undoubtedly a scorcher in a bikini. Brad Pitt’s latest arm candy Angelina Jolie also looks good in a bikini. Though I’ve seen her sporting a bikini in the movies, I would kill to see her in flesh and blood and, of course, in a bikini.

Aditya Bal, model

Halle Berry in Die Another Day looked ravishing in a bikini and she has been my favourite woman in a bikini since then. No other actress has ever been able to match up to that look.

If there’s one woman I would love to see in a bikini, it has to be Aishwarya Rai . Going by her attitude, I don’t think she ever intends to wear one and the very idea makes it all the more interesting. There have been media reports claiming that she’d be spotted in a bikini in Dhoom 2 and I am looking forward to it.

Rahul Khanna, actor

Ursula Andress coming out of the ocean in that famous white bikini in Dr No is one of the timeless images of a woman in a bikini. She has always been my favourite woman in a bikini, even after all the Bond movies and sexy heroines after her.

When it comes to my fantasy, I would love to see supermodel Gisele Bundchen in a bikini. I think she has the right curves and would be able to flaunt a bikini with great ease.

Zeenat Aman and Dimple Kapadia are two of my favourite women in bikinis. Though there are many other models and actresses who have made a splash in bikinis over the years, the images of Zeenat Aman in Qurbani and Dimple Kapadia in Bobby have stayed on with me till today. I would love to see Salma Hayek in a bikini. Other than being curvaceous, she has the perfect attitude to carry off a bikini very well.

Akshay Kapoor, actor

Salma Hayek is my woman of choice when it comes to a bikini. Though she doesn’t have an hourglass figure or a perfect body, she has immense confidence and looks very comfortable in any outfit she wears. Besides, she has got the curves in the right places.
