Alia
Bhatt
has
taken
Deepika
Padukone
spot,
and
has
been
voted
the
Sexiest
Asian
Woman
for
the
year
2019.
Deepika
was
the
topper
in
the
2018
list,
however,
she
holds
her
position
as
the
Sexiest
Asian
Woman
of
the
decade,
according
to
the
annual
list
released
by
a
UK
weekly
called
Eastern
Eye.
Flattered
by
this,
Alia
said,
"I've
always
believed
that
true
beauty
goes
beyond
what
is
seen
and
that
is
what
really
counts."
She
continued,
"We'll
grow
older,
our
appearances
will
change,
but
a
good
heart
will
always
keep
you
beautiful
and
that
is
really
what
we
should
focus
on."
Eastern
Eye
entertainment
editor
and
founder
Asjad
Nazir
had
this
to
say
about
Alia:
"There
is
no
one
on
a
bigger
role
than
unstoppable
star
Alia
Bhatt
and
nothing
will
prevent
her
from
dominating
the
next
decade
of
commercial
Hindi
cinema
as
the
queen
of
Bollywood."
He
added,
"More
than
a
movie
star
she
is
a
powerful
symbol
of
girl
power,
who
is
a
representation
of
the
empowered
modern
day
woman."
The
