2017 was a year where many women generated a lot of heat in our air-conditioned office rooms, and there have been instances where we were just a few seconds away from calling the firefighters. Throughout the year, whether it was winter, spring, summer or monsoon, these women made us feel thirsty and go hot and heavy. 

Let’s take a look at who our favorites were each month. 

January – Pallavi Sharda

She might not have had a great career despite having a grand launch with Ranbir Kapoor starrer Besharam, but when we look at how scintillating and sizzling hot she is, we forget her acting skills completely. 

February – Nia Sharma

Even though the TV show Jamai Raja is no longer running, we were floored by the good looks of Nia Sharma who starred in it. No wonder she was voted the third sexiest Asian. 

March – Disha Patani

If Tiger Shroff likes her, who are we to judge? The MS Dhoni: The Untold Story actress is cute and sexy in equal measure. How’s that for a killer combination? 

April – Kim Sharma

We think Kim Sharma’s Instagram is worth a million dollars. The actress has moved to Africa after her marriage to businessman Ali Punjani in 2010. Alas!

May – Parineeti Chopra

“I’ve only been in a couple of long-term relationships. The best ones were just spent sitting at home under a blanket, ordering in and watching a movie, eating and talking. I’m a very homely person when it comes to relationships,” she tells us in an interview. Well, that’s something that gives us relationship goals. 

June – Aditi Rao Hydari 

“The day I call something my “biggest achievement” will be the day I hang up my boots. There’s always something big to do next, something big to achieve and something new to learn every day,” she said in an interview with us. It’s hard not to love her. 

July – Tillotama Shome

“The airbrushed look, the race to be on a magazine cover, the perfect selfie, eternal youth… it’s endless. I dip myself into the pond of being well turned out only once in a while, so it feels like a fun day and not armour I have to wear every day,” she said in an interview with us. We think it’s difficult to stop looking at her. 

August – Mandana Karimi

You know what Mandana means? “Eternal, something that lasts forever,” she said in an interview with us. She is from Iran, and had run into controversy this year for posting a topless photo on Instagram. 

September – Karishma Sharma

She is a party girl and she loves swimming. We prepared a guide for dating her some time back, which reminded us of a T-shirt she wore which said ‘Drake and Bake.’ Who doesn’t want a Saturday night like that? 

October – Jacqueline Fernandez

She is probably the Bollywood actress with the best pole-dancing skills. And the best Instagram profile. Cross that. The best social media presence. It’s a sin to be so perfect, Jackie. Never change. 

November – Esha Gupta

She is the one who wanted to make us call the firefighters. Warning: if you check out all these photos, you might need some Burnol yourself. 

December – Manushi Chillar

Manushi made all of us proud by winning the Miss World crown, and boy oh boy, doesn’t she deserve it? We hope she has a great career in Bollywood too.
