WEB DESK: Bollywood dive Nargis Fakhri is probably the hottest actress right now. But let us rewind 12 years as we come across the video of the very same actress auditioning for America's Next Top Model.

Now a stunning beauty with oodles of confidence and a quirky sense of style and humour, Nargis Fakhri was once just a simple girl-next-door trying to make it big in show business.

Top Model, she didn't have all the answers. When asked why she wants to be a model, Nargis claimed it to be 'just a job,' which seemed to not fly down well with the judges.

Supermodel and show creator Tyra Banks, however, felt that even though she was over-rehearsed and lacked the drive to be a model, Nargis had a 'great body.' After gaining entry into the show, the actress was eventually eliminated from Cycle 3. She had earlier auditioned for Cycle 2 as well.

Nargis has clearly come a long way since then, especially as a cover girl.

America's Next Top Model is now in its 23rd cycle, spawning many country-specific adaptations, including India.
