Move over Yana, Ishaa and Sameera. Mumbai girl Rakhi Shivsagar, winner of Pritish Nandy's hunt for a dare-bare dancer, is the new sex bomb in town and she's just waiting to explode.

Judges at the PNC talent search insist newcomers have never had it so good before. "Contests like these provide a great platform for youngsters to get a break in Bollywood. Item songs have a huge market today and in fact, many of them are remembered even if the films flop."

They lure the audience to the theatres and have carved a niche in terms of picturisation, composition and choreography," says model-turned-actress Cleo Isaacs.

Nandy chose to be tight-lipped about his new item girl except deny that she would be cast in the the Aishwarya Rai-Sanjay Dutt starrer 'Shabd'. "We held the talent hunt not for Shabd but another forthcoming project."
