We're making democracy sexy and urge everyone to get onto www.FHMindia.com and make their vote count."
Giving stiff competition to their foreign counterparts such as Scarlett Johansson, singer Rihanna, and supermodels Gisele Bundchen and Kate Moss, are our very own Bipasha Basu, Kareena Kapoor, Ujjwala Raut, Deepika Padukone, Aishwarya Rai, Priyanka Chopra and Sushmita Sen.
