Ilia Arun topped the Indian charts with her heady blockbuster "What's beneath My Blouse?".
While her earthy Rajasthani voice teases men up and down the subcontinent. others think that Ilia has sunk to new levels of western decadence, destroying the possibility of romance in life and on the movie screen.
Leslie Forbes takes the romantic pulse of the nation by asking those taste-makers of Indian culture, the movie moguls of Bombay, what they think is beneath Miss Arun's blouse.
Producer Matt Thompson
