<div class="section1"><div class="Normal"><script language="javascript">doweshowbellyad=0; </script><br />The <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">kabhi haan kabhi naa</span> affair of our coyest and their sexiest continues. The clockwork regularity with which gossip on Ash as the next Bond girl crops up, we have to take recourse to a cliché – there just ain''t no smoke without fire.

Sherawat has a body, and likes to show it. Ash has a body but does not like to show too much of it. But Ash has the face that everyone wants to see. It all adds up to an Indian Bond girl. <br /><br /><formid=367815></formid=367815></div> </div>
