Deepika Padukone is the 'Sexiest Asian woman in the World'

December 08, 2016 15:30

Actress Deepika Padukone has added to her rapidly growing list of achievements by being crowned the Sexiest Asian woman in the World.

The award-winning movie star dethroned Bollywood rival Priyanka Chopra, who won the title 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.

Eastern Eye's Entertainment Editor Asjad Nazir said, "This was the year Deepika not only won awards, but also became the undisputed queen of Bollywood and the highest paid leading lady in Indian cinema. It was also the year she smashed her way into Hollywood and generated mass excitement with none-Bollywood audiences even before the release of her mega-budget Hollywood debut. With huge films releasing next year, it looks like 2017 will be an even bigger year and more international producers will try stealing away the jewel in Bollywood's crown."
