Katrina Kaif
Her conspicuous year-long absence
from the big screen hasn’t prevented Katrina Kaif from claiming the
‘World’s Sexiest Asian Woman’ title for the fourth time in a list
compiled by Eastern Eye newspaper, the popular Asian publication in the
UK. The British-born beauty defeated reigning champ Priyanka Chopra, TV
superstar Drashti Dhami, and current box office queen Deepika Padukone,
following another year of votes pouring in from fans around the globe.
Katrina secured the top spot in the world-renowned 50 Sexiest Asian Women List 2013 - compiled by Eastern Eye newspaper - with actress and singer Priyanka Chopra coming in at second place, TV actress Drashti Dhami in third and Deepika Padukone in fourth. A permanent fixture in the top three for the past six years, the A-lister beat stiff competition from the world’s most stunning Asian women in the tenth edition of the UK based, Eastern Eye newspaper’s definitive ‘Sexy List’.
The unprecedented fourth win comes just weeks before Katrina hits the big screen again in one of the year’s biggest films Dhoom 3: Back In Action.
Surprised by the win, Katrina said: “I didn't know it was a record! That's a nice surprise and a lot of fun to hear. I like it because Eastern Eye newspaper is the one my sisters see because they live in London. It's lovely, but also people are reacting to what they see. Obviously if everyone were to see me when I wake up in the morning or in my track pants and then vote for me, then maybe I would be a little bit more believing of it myself. But of course it's very flattering.”
Similar to the list last year, the biggest surprise of 2013 was the sheer dominance of television actresses from India. One notable name is Drashti Dhami, who added to a dream year by becoming the first television actress to crack the top three. Sanaya Irani entered the top 10 for the first time at sixth position. Other Indian television actresses who made the list included last year’s highest new entry Nia Sharma (11), Jennifer Winget (15), Asha Negi (18), Krystle D’Souza (19) and Rubina Dilaik (26), who was the highest new entry in terms of TV stars.
The highest new entry was Aashiqui 2 star Shraddha Kapoor (12), who narrowly missed out on the Top 10. The highest placed Pakistani was Humaima Malick (15) and the only non-Indian in the top 10, was Anger Management star Noureen DeWulf (10). The American actress, who stars with Charlie Sheen in the hit US sitcom, dominated the non-Asian vote. The oldest women in the list were Bollywood icons Madhuri Dixit (23) and Sridevi (40).
Mass interest in the 2013 List exploded across social media, with many of the stars trending across Twitter during the voting process. Other notable stars in this year’s list include Sonam Kapoor (5), Parineeti Chopra (14), Sophie Choudry (21), Mehreen Syed (22), Sunidhi Chauhan (28), Ankita Lokhande (29), Hina Khan (31) and Shreya Ghoshal (43).
The 50 Sexiest Asian Women List is now in its tenth year. 2013’s full list will be out in the newspaper on Friday 6 December.
