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.Deepika Padukone, Actor
Priyanka was pushed down to second place and actor Nia Sharma took the third spot, and reclaimed the title as the sexiest television star.
TV actor Drashti Dhami maintained her top five place and came in fourth. Rising star Alia Bhatt cracked the top 10 for the first time and was ranked fifth.
Others in the top 10 are Sanaya Irani (sixth), Katrina Kaif (seventh), Sonam Kapoor (eight), Pakistani actress Mahira Khan (ninth) and Gauhar Khan (10th). The oldest is 53-year-old philanthropist Nita Ambani (32nd), who is the first woman to ever be included as an editor’s choice in the 13-year history of the long-running countdown.
