The queen of Bollywood royally slayed her shoot for this year's calendar
The Dabboo Ratnani 2016 calendar is finally here!
In a five minute long video released on January 11, 2016, the ace photographer teased us with sneak peak into what we could expect for this year’s shoot, and we certainly weren’t let down.
The likes Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra, and Amitabh Bachchan were seen working with Dabboo, and set hearts racing in anticipation.
But now, the much awaited calendar has been unveiled, and it is bigger and better than ever.
So brace yourselves, because this may be the most wanted calendar shoots Dabboo and the Bollywood stars may have ever done.
As expected, the queen of Bollywood royally slayed her shoot for this year’s calendar.
Avid Aish fans would have recognised her ensemble from the 2015 stardust Awards, where she wore an enthralling Georges Hobeika Couture gown.
But the official released photo is a close up of the former Miss World.
Simple make-up, sleek hair, and an enchanting look pierces through the camera lens.
Aish captures our hearts with this shoot, and proves why she holds the title of the most beautiful woman in the world.
Dabboo was thrilled to have the one and only Amitabh star in his shoot, tweeting:
“Thank you Amit Uncle Amitabh Bachchan For Your Kind Words. It’s an Honour to Shoot With You For Dabboo Ratnani Calendar?”
The Bollywood patriarch shows us his many faces, from silly to serious.
This suave, silver fox strikes again, and we never doubted him for a second.
Quantico star, Priyanka Chopra has had skyrocketing success in 2015, which makes her appearance in the 2016 calendar even more exciting.
Wearing a fur hooded dressing gown, the star adheres to the playful premise, and looks adorably cute.
The Bollywood turned Hollywood beauty knows all too well how to slay a Dabboo Ratnani shoot, as she has appeared in several editions.
The star even joked about her frequent shoots with the Indian photographer, stating:
“Being on Dabboo’s calendar is more consistent than being in movies.”
If you have ever wanted to see a half naked Sidharth Malhotra in a bath, then you’ve come to the right place.
The actor promised that this shoot would be saucily sexy, and he definitely did not disappoint.
Guaranteed to put on a show, Sidharth seduces everyone with his cheeky chappy persona, teasing us as he smokes a cigar.
This is the perfect amount of rough and rugged that we needed, and we can’t keep our eyes off him.
Whilst many celebs are now pros at posing for the Dabboo Ratnani calendar, others are new to the gig, Kriti Sanon being one of them.
The Dilwale (2015) actress tweeted her excitement at being a part of the biggest calendar shoot of the year, typing:
“It’s gonna be my debut on @DabbooRatnani ‘s calendar this year! #proudfeeling.”
And so she should. The star’s slim stomach protrudes through the soft grey jumper, leaving little to the imagination.
Looking flawless and comfortable in front of the camera, you would never have guessed that this was her first shoot.
Another Dabboo Ratnani calendar shoot, another opportunity for John Abraham to flaunt his perfectly toned stomach to the world.
Not that we’re complaining, because this shot is one seriously hot look.
Hanging from a raised bar, John flexes his muscles as he extends himself against a plain black backdrop.
Mysterious, seductive, flawless. What more could we ask for?
Bringing colour and life to the calendar is Bollywood heartthrob, Varun Dhawan.
The half naked star presented us with his chiseled abs, and a temptingly gorgeous glare that we simply cannot ignore.
This brightly coloured shot is definitely one of the more elaborate entries of this year’s calendar.
The unusual premise weirdly works, which is what makes Dabboo one of the best photographers right now.
Shooting the yearly Dabboo Ratnani calendar comes easy to Alia Bhatt, who stuns us for yet another year with her playful, carefree pose.
Keeping the colour palette mellow and mild, Dabboo transforms Alia into a gracious princess.
Innocence is the key for this shoot: natural hair, nude make-up, and a minimalist beige top that wraps around Alia’s enviously perfect figure.
Shahrukh Khan sends pulses racing as he literally drips with sex appeal in this wet and wondrous shoot.
Wearing a white shirt paired with a black jacket, SRK is soaked through as he poses into the lense.
The talented star challenges all other celebs into possibly having the best shot of this calendar year.
2016 is only 12 days old and it is already shaping up to be the best yet.
Year after year, Dabboo Ratnani produces an all star calendar and unquestionably challenges all other photographers.
The biggest celebrities, the most outlandish backdrops, and the most exciting concepts – he never lets us down.
This visually striking calendar has raised the bar yet again, and we can’t wait to get our hands on one.
