The list of Sexiest Asian Women by Eastern Eye is out now
Bollywood queen Deepika Padukone has reclaimed the crown of the sexiest
Asian woman on the planet. The multi-award winning actress topped the globally
renowned 50 Sexiest Asian Women In The World list published by UK based
Eastern Eye newspaper for a second time in three years. She once again beat off
competition from around the world and rounded off another dream year that began
with playing the lead role in blockbuster hit Padmaavat and ended with her marrying
A-list star Ranveer Singh. Her many magical moments in 2018 ranged from a
stunning turn on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet to continuing the quest to
spread mental health awareness through her Live Love Laugh Foundation. For
Deepika Padukone it is what is on the inside that matters and she said: “Honesty and
authenticity, I find that extremely attractive. It’s empowering and liberating.”
Now in its 15th year, the longest running list of its kind is based on many millions of
votes sent in around the world, media coverage, impact and heat generated across
various social media platforms. The mass interest in the 2018 edition list was such
that it trended on social media across different countries during the voting process.
Eastern Eye’s award-winning Entertainment editor Asjad Nazir, who founded
the list and puts it together annually, said: “Apart from being the undisputed queen of
Bollywood and a strikingly beautiful star, what really makes Deepika Padukone
special is how big her heart is and how grounded she has remained throughout her
remarkable rise. Deepika’s humility has been inspirational and the way she makes a
positive impact through raising awareness about mental health is showing everyone
that being yourself and letting your inner light shine is the new sexy.”
Last year’s winner Priyanka Chopra came in second and had another year of
being a great global ambassador for her country. Talented actress Nia Sharma
came in at number three and held onto her position as the sexiest television star in
the list for a stunning third year in a row. “As much as I want to hide my excitement
right now, I cannot help but smile brightly and let out a big hurray because it truly
feels awesome. I have to acknowledge my amazing fans who have made it happen
for a third time in a row, telling me you own it. I want to tell them we own it. Also a big
thanks to Asjad Nazir,” said Nia Sharma.
Mahira Khan came in fourth and held onto her title as the sexiest Pakistani on the
planet. Mahira had another year of being a strong symbol of girl power, which
included being the first Pakistani to walk the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival in a
major way, raising money for charity, highlighting social causes, inspiring young girls
and being a strong working mother. “I am grateful to be part of this list once again.
My fans are my strength so thank you to them. I think personally sexy is what sexy
does and I hope to continue to work hard at what I do with as much as passion as I
have been from the start,” said Mahira Khan.
The rest of the top 10 from the 2018 list was made up of Shivangi Joshi (5), Alia
Bhatt (6), Sonam Kapoor (7), Hina Khan (8), Katrina Kaif (9) and Niti Taylor
(10).
The highest place newcomer in the list is rising star Ashi Singh (18) and the
youngest in the list is 20-year-old television actress Shivangi Joshi (5), who
continues to shine on hit TV serial Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. One of two editor’s
choices for 2018 is actress Sanam Saeed (19), who is pushing the creative
boundaries in Pakistan and regularly speaking about a wide array of important social
issues including women’s empowerment. The second editor’s choice and the oldest
in the list is 51-year-old actress Madhuri Dixit (45). “Iconic star Madhuri Dixit has
inspired an entire generation with her brilliance and continues to be the shining
beacon of light for others to follow. She is quite comprehensively showing age is just
a number and how fabulous being in the fifties is,” said Asjad Nazir.
