Pool side, the 'Vibe' and that 'Yes' - A good start!

What better way to let go of the summer heat by diving right in the pool when the sun is just about to set. And beware men! They better not try their luck in the pool or they've had it (laughs). I will never want my man to ask me out on the first day of our meeting. I'd love an interesting conversation. He should have the sense to sense the vibe whether the vibe from me is tilting more towards the 'yes' or the 'no'. Men who make a pass on me and flirt with me are a complete no-no for me. I like men who are subtle and someone who come on naturally.

The real guy, humour and that much needed attention

A real guy is someone who would make me hit on him or have me meet him the second time. He should be good enough for me to ask him out the second time. Girls like it when men don't give them the much needed attention. I like great company, good humour and a man who can hold on to his talks and still have a light side to him. That would make a woman want to meet him the second time.

Date, dinner and comedy store...and of course, looking sexy

I'd like to go to a comedy store with the man I'm planning a date with. Movies are passé now-a-days. It's great going when you're at a comedy store because you're enjoying the company, laughing with him, and then followed by a lovely candid dinner to end the date. Yes, you will find me wearing something very comfortable and yet sexy. It's very important to look good on your first date.

Ever since we were old enough to talk about men and women getting intimate, see them on screen shed their inhibitions, we learn to keep our literature hidden from our precious beloved in our lives. But those days no longer exist. Or do they? Times have changed. Girls have moved on and so have the boys. We plan a date, sip red wine, relish the grilled food, and end our day with a pleasant kiss and a warm hug. But it's not all the delicacies on the dinner table that makes an evening special. It's the talk. Do you talk about deleting your search history each time you've indulged in a pleasant afternoon of one handed web surfing? Do you eye another striking figure or a handsome hunk while dining? Do you have to hide? Do you talk about your 'ex' with him or her? Do you get 'hit' on by a girl when you are with your girl? Does a man come up to you and ask you for a dance when your man is standing there ordering the second round for you? Surely, in this post modern world, 'talk' is something we can now share. But how? Ladies might not like to leave their husbands with her, but I'm sure most guys would like an introduction. Welcome Aarti Chabria! She could strip her name down to her initials 'A.C' and the summer heat would perpetually go away. Classic and quirky, sleek yet curvy, optimistic and ambitious: Aarti has been around and stayed around, been there and done that, and proving herself to be a consistent winner when it comes to acting (or dating?). This girl moves it, manages it and maintains it like no other. With a career in films and a body that just won't quit, Aarti is the definition of editorial sexy. And as she pushes into the next phase of her career, Chabria is all set to hit the stratosphere this summer. And you got it! It's Aarti I'm interested in right now. So I caught up with her at her apartment to find out about her candidness towards the bold talk, her real life love, and how she would like men ensnare her. I recall Aarti saying, "My ideal man needs to figure out what turns me on". Well, I guess I better get started and 'figure' it out myself! Could you please switch on the A.C? Summer's here! And the Heat Is On in this exclusive three part 'no holds barred' special only on Bollywood Hungama.

An eye for an eye. That's an eye'cing on the cake!

I like men who look clean, who wear good shoes and who use a good eau de toilette. But what turns me on in a guy are his eyes. You get a glimpse of who the person really is when you look straight in his eyes. I immediately sense a vibe when I look in a man's eye. It's the intensity that turns me on. The eyes speak a lot more than the physical appearance in any man.

Statutory Warning: No smokers allowed in my domain

I'd never go on a date with a man who smokes. I don't like the smoke in anyone's breath. I haven't really dated a guy who smokes. Certain people look nice when they hold a cigarette in their hand but the others try too hard.

Penelope, pictures and the 'no holds barred' photo shoot

I've always given my hundred percent in all my photo shoots. I'd never bare all but it all depends upon which magazine, which photographer, which film, which director, etc. The sexiest photo shoot I've had was when my mom's brother shot some of my pictures. I was in Amby valley where we did the photo shoot. I like Penelope Cruz's photo shoot where she is in the sand topless. She is immersed in the sand and on her back with a bit of her side showing. You can see the moonlight shining on her. It's the sexiest photo shoot I think.

Intimacy - bed to boredom

If you really like a man and have known him for quite some time, then you are bound to get physically intimate with him. I don't really think its right to jump into something and regret it later. I am a more long term person. I am more committed to my man. Whatever I've been involved in my past was serious and committed. I am too precious and don't believe in sharing myself with anybody who wants to take me for a ride.

Watches, diamonds and surprises. Now that's a shocker!

I love surprises. As long as it's not a shocker (laughs). Surprise diamonds are always welcome (laughs). I'd love to gift my man a watch. Men love good watches. Once an astrologer told me that I am going to be very lucky for my man. A watch is a very auspicious gift to give your man, that's what I believe in.

XXX - X-plicit, X-girlfriends...not X-citing!

I am a complete Scorpio and I am extremely possessive. I would never accept my man's ex-girlfriend anywhere near him. I don't believe in 'ex' girlfriends being friends. But this is when I am dead serious about him and wanting to get more out of my relationship with a man. I believe that a past is a past. It can never be your present or future. We have to cut off from it as it doesn't allow you enough space for your future to grow in. You got to clear the cutter from your life.

Original Sin, Gerard Butler, Hrithik Roshan

The sexiest movie I've seen is Original Sin, Match Point and Crush. The sexiest Hollywood actor has to be Gerard Butler. I love his smile and dimples and the way he speaks. From Bollywood, it has to be Hrithik Roshan.

The beginning of the end - Kamasutra

I've read the Kamasutra and I wouldn't be surprised if my man gifts me that. Kamasutra for me is about those aesthetically beautiful sculptures. It's an age old art form. There is always this buzz about the different 'positions' and all but I guess everybody in their life should read the Kamasutra. It's like the bible of sex for beginners.
