Sensuous Sayali bhagat sizzles in bikini for The Man...!

Former Miss India-World 2004 and actress Sayali Bhagat shed clothes for The Man magazine's February 2010 issue in an exclusive shoot. Also read excerpts from her interview. Sayali is a mix of charm and sensuality and has a great figure to boast of. She continued modelling for two years after winning the pageant and has walked the ramp for most designers including Ritu Kumar, Satya Paul and Suneet Verma. She is the brand ambassador for Gitanjali Diamonds. She has also walked the ramp at the fashion weeks India and abroad.

  

   

While talking about sensuality and intelligence she contradicts herself all the time. "There is more to me. I hate it when people talk only about my sensuality. Yes, I use it to attract others but only for them to get to know me better. On dates I can talk and debate on almost anything. As a child, I played various games from table tennis, badminton to squash. I even represented Maharashtra for the 100 metres sprint. So when I meet men, I can talk to them about sport. Whether out on a date or serious, I am the 'impress me' type."

  

"For me, qualities like simplicity, humour, husband-material, etc., don't matter much. A simple gesture of sending medicine when I am not well is more welcome than trying to woo me with diamonds. I am single. I believe in marriage. I think it grounds one as a person. In that sense, I am old fashioned."

    

Lady Luck has so far evaded her in films while other pageant winners like Priyanka Chopra and Aishwarya Rai have gone on to make successful careers in the film industry., Although her debut film with Emraan Hashmi, The Train, premiered at the IIFA Awards in Yorkshire, it didn't give her career the boost she was hoping for. After The Train, Sayali was seen in Halla Bol, Good Luck, Paying Guests and Jail. She has also acted in two south films.

  

This year, Sayali has an interesting line-up of films like Wilson Louis' horror film, Shout, Saint Who Thought Otherwise, Production No 1A, and two more films in south Indian languages. "My only wish for the whole year is that I need a hit," Sayali says.
