Bollywood
actress
Priyanka
Chopra
has
won
back
the
crown
she
lost
to
Katrina
Kaif
last
year
to
be
named
the
world's
sexiest
Asian
woman
here
on
Thursday.
The
32-year-old
actress
and
singer
topped
the
top
50
list
in
an
annual
poll
conducted
by
UK-based
weekly
newspaper
'Eastern
Eye'.
Popular
TV
actress
Drashti
Dhami,
who
had
led
the
voting
at
one
stage,
narrowly
missed
out
on
the
top
spot
to
come
in
second.
Fellow
TV
actress
Sanaya
Irani
came
third
with
last
year's
winner,
Kaif,
slipping
to
fourth
place
in
the
race.
"Someone
once
told
me,
sexy
is
what
sexy
does
and
you
do
it
best
when
you
are
yourself.
I
don't
know
what
I
did
to
deserve
this
but
I'll
happily
accept
this
title," said
Chopra.
"I
am
very
flattered
to
have
be
named
'Eastern
Eye's'
Sexiest
Woman
once
again.
The
fact
that
this
is
decided
from
a
public
poll
across
the
world
makes
this
even
more
special
to
me.
Lots
of
love
to
everyone
who
voted
and
here's
to
always
being
yourself," she
added.
'Eastern
Eye' showbiz
editor
Asjad
Nazir,
founder
of
the
'Sexiest
Asian'
list
and
chair
of
the
judging
panel,
described
this
year's
No
1
as
an
"important
international
icon
for
India."
"Apart
from
being
one
of
the
most
stunning
women
in
the
world,
Priyanka
has
demonstrated
she
is
beautiful
on
the
inside
too
with
important
humanitarian
work,"
said
Nazir.
"She
has
also
become
a
strong
symbol
of
girl
power
with
projects
like
'Mary
Kom'
and
represented
her
country
admirably
around
the
world.
That
is
why
more
women
than
men
actually
voted
for
her
this
year
and
why
she
was
trending
across
Twitter
during
the
voting
process," he
added.
