Believe it or not, famous females often complain that men rarely approach them for dates.

It turns out that most fellas just assume these recognisable stars are completely 'out of their league' and, therefore, never muster up the guts to make a move.

Truth is, they couldn't be more foolish!

C'mon, every woman loves a compliment. And what's the worst that can happen? You get rejected? That's just one more experience to draw from next time, on your quest to land the perfect lady.

And so, with that in mind, we search the entertainment, sports, business and political worlds in order to bring you India�s most eligible (and hot!) single women.

Without further ado...

Mallika Sherawat: Age 36

If Ugly Aur Pugli gives us a glimpse into real world dating with Mallika Sherawat [Images], perhaps her current single status begins to make more sense. Slap!

But even we can forgive two-three jhaps for a chance with this lovely lady.

After all, she's not only beautiful, charming and highly intelligent; she's about as sexually liberated as a girl can be in conservative India.

And though the lawsuits and complaints keep coming from cantankerous conservatives, irate at Ms Sherawat's skimpy attire, the hormone-saturated young males of India salute you, Mallika. We truly do.

While most of the women on the list make their daily bread in the entertainment industry, Sania Mirza [Images] represents a new type of irresistible, single Indian female.

Sh'�s a young, high-profile professional athlete, not only the best in India, but one who manages to compete at the very highest level against global competition.

And, of course, she always manages to look good doing it.

Okay, so some of these women belong to Bollywood royalty. Others are business tycoons. And still others are champion of sport.

But how about those who actually make the law of the land? Nationalist Congress Party's Agatha Sangma, at just 27, is the youngest Member of Parliament and definitely the hottest thing in Indian politics.

And seeing that she is the daughter of former Lok Sabha Speaker and NCP leader P A Sangma, we're certain this one comes from a good family.

With a face and figure perfect for high fashion, Carol Gracias is often seen sashaying down the runway, posing in clothes designed by India's umpteen chic boutiques.

It's why she's the best-known and most desired name on the Indian model circuit today.

Recent photo shoots have shown Carol in an entirely new light: a little less haughty and a little more sexy. Nice
