<\/p>\nFormer Coronation Street star Shobna Gulati had fans swooning at their screens after she ditched her trousers for a saucy bedroom snap. <\/p>\n
The actress, 57, is best known for playing Sunita Alahan on the ITV soap \u2013 making her first appearance way back in 2001.<\/p>\n
As the wife of show alum Dev Alahan and mum of twins Aadi and Asha Alahan, who are still on the show, Sunita became a hit with viewers.<\/p>\n

But in 2013, and after 12 years on the cobbles, Sunita was killed off from the soap in a horrific fire at the Rovers Return pub. <\/p>\n
Following her exit, Shobna kept herself busy, starring in the likes of West End smash Everybody\u2019s Talking About Jamie, and Channel 4\u2019s sitcom Hullraisers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And she even released her own memoir Remember Me? in 2020 which followed her experiences of losing a parent to dementia. <\/p>\n
And of course, fans have stuck with Shobna along the way – but on Tuesday (August 29) plenty of them were left hot under the collar when she shared a sultry bedroom snap.<\/p>\n
Taking to her Instagram, the soap star looked nothing short of sensational as she appeared to ditch the trousers for the impromptu photoshoot.<\/p>\n
Posing up a storm for the mirror selfie, Shobna oozed beauty in a plunging black vest that gave fans an eyeful of her chest. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Amping up the raciness, it seemed Shobna was just wearing her kickers for the snap – showing off her long pins for her fans. <\/p>\n
Smouldering to the camera, she wore her dark locks in lush waves and curls that bounced around her shoulders. <\/p>\n
In the caption, Shobna penned: \u201cI always thought that this would be the front cover of my first novel hmmm I think there's possibility that when I get round to it at least I will have the cover image.\u201d<\/p>\n
