  • Deepika Padukone crowned Sexiest Asian Women in the World
Actress Deepika Padukone has added to her rapidly growing list of achievements by being crowned the SEXIEST ASIAN WOMAN IN THE WORLD for the first time. The award-winning movie star dethroned Bollywood rival Priyanka Chopra, who has won the title for the last two years, in the popular long running list annually published by UK-based Eastern Eye newspaper.
 
The win rounds off a dream year for the current queen of Bollywood, who has won numerous 2016 Best Actress awards for her acclaimed role in Indian film Piku and commenced shooting her high-profile Hollywood debut xXx: Return of Xander Cage opposite Vin Diesel.
 
In demand, A-list star Deepika was delighted to top the list for the first time and said: "Well it does bring a smile to my face but sexy means different things to different people. For me it's not just physical. For me being comfortable with who you are, is sexy! Confidence is sexy! Innocence and vulnerability is sexy."
 
The 2016 edition of the popular annual poll was based on millions of votes pouring in from across the globe and heat generated by stars with their work, and on social media sites in the past 12 months. The mass interest in the 13th edition of the list was such that it was trending on Twitter in various countries including across India during the voting process.
 
Four times winner Priyanka Chopra was pushed down to second place and actress Nia Sharma took third spot, and reclaimed her crown as the sexiest television star. TV actress Drashti Dhami maintained her top five place and came in fourth. Rapidly rising star Alia Bhatt cracked the top 10 for the first time and was ranked fifth.
 
Others in the top 10 are Sanaya Irani (6), Katrina Kaif (7), Sonam Kapoor (8), highest placed Pakistani Mahira Khan (9) and Gauahar Khan (10).
 
The highest placed newcomer in this year’s list is Indian television actress Harshita Gaur (17). The youngest on the list is 20-year-old actress Helly Shah (31) and the oldest is 53-year-old philanthropist Nita Ambani (32), who is the first woman to ever be included as an editor’s choice in the 13-year history of the long running countdown. 
  
The highest placed British woman was half-Indian British pop superstar Charli XCX (18), who has a Gujarati Indian mother from Uganda. Other popular stars in the 2016 list include Kareena Kapoor Khan (13), Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandez (15), Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (19), Esha Gupta (27), Shraddha Kapoor (30), Hina Khan (39), Anushka Sharma (42) and Disha Patani (47).
