Deepika Padukone has just been named the sexiest Asian woman in the world dethroning Priyanka Chopra, who won the title four times in the popular list that is annually published by Britain-based Eastern Eye newspaper.

On bagging the title, she says,

It does bring a smile to my face, but sexy means different things to different people. For me, it’s not just physical. Being comfortable with who you are, is sexy. Confidence is sexy. Innocence and vulnerability is sexy.
