Manish Malhotra on Bollywood's sexy six

Designer Manish Malhotra will showcase his bridal collection at the Lakme Fashion Week on September 19. We caught up with him to get his take on six of Bollywood's leading ladies.

Bipasha Basu 
Now here's someone who needs to change her look. There's something about her hair and dressing that is beginning to get repetitive. It's time for change! 

You've almost always seen Preity Zinta in western clothes. Perhaps it's something about her personality that makes you associate her with urbane collections. But she can look stunning in traditional clothes too. Watch her in the song from Main Aurr Mrs Khanna and you'll know what I'm saying! 

Kareena has always had a great sense of style. She's also very open to experimenting, which can be a good thing. But Kareena must, must put on some weight! I know she's gaining kilos. But perhaps she could do with some more flesh on her  

It will be interesting to see Katrina in a completely de-glam avatar in (Prakash Jha's) Rajneeti. Katrina has always looked amazing. But she could do with some slimming down. It'll make her look even more amazing. 

I am dying to watch Priyanka Chopra carry off the 12 different looks in her latest film. But I'm quite happy with the way I have styled her in Pyaar Impossible. It's far different from the way she has been styled earlier. 

Aishwarya Rai needs to be seen in more contemporary saris rather than the traditional ones. I think she could also do something with her hair.
