'Cougar' is becoming fashionable

Cougars have become quite a fashionable phrase across the world today, with designer labels to even a new international TV show dedicating their inspiration to the concept of older women seducing younger men. While some think it is a triumph to win over older women, for others it’s just a fantasy. We ask a few young city dudes to reveal which woman they fantasise about...
Actor Maradona Rebello says, “My vote goes to Lara Dutta and Jennifer Aniston. I find these women attractive because they are fiercely individualistic, dare to do their own thing and are very attractive.”

Meanwhile for model Sahil Shroff, Padma Lakshmi and Zeenat Aman make him go weak in the knees. “Padma Lakshmi has a great body and she is superbly stylish and sexy. Moreover, she hosts a cooking show which means she loves to cook. A woman who is a delight to watch and also cooks delightful cuisines works for me. Plus there is a mature sensuality about her and her sex appeal is definitely unmatched. Zeenat Aman also attracts me a lot. She was so sexy and seductive...It would be great to turn back time and meet her in her prime.”

Model Asif is ga-ga for Demi Moore. “She is the perfect 10 cougar for me. She is a fireball. Demi Moore has also shown that she is open to experiments in terms of looks and movie roles, which means she is very experimental in real life too. Now, who wouldn’t want to date a woman who is ready to experiment. Ashton Kutcher (Demi’s husband) must be the most hated man in the world. Demi has the best body in Hollywood with flawless curves. Her sex appeal is out of the world,” he says.

Actor Sameer Dattani is spoilt for choice. “I can’t think of any other cougar besides Demi Moore. I guess Sharon Stone will also be on top of my mind especially after I saw her in Basic Instinct in my college days,” he says.

Meanwhile, actor Michelle Pfeiffer gets VJ Yudi going. “She has a great face, very different and thus attractive. She also has oodles of talent to go hand-in-hand with her looks. That makes her special. I cannot think about anyone but her,” he says, laughing.
