Bollywood heart-throb Hrithik Roshan is this year's sexiest Asian man in the world. The "Bang Bang" actor reclaimed the top position in the "50 Sexiest Asian Men In The World" list.
The UK weekly newspaper, 'Eastern Eye', produces the "Sexiest Asian Man in the World" list annually. This is the third time Hrithik had been voted as the Sexiest Asian Man.
Last year, Pakistani actor Ali Zafar had won the poll and gained the top position, but this year he has slipped to third position. Surprisingly, television actor and "Bigg Boss 7" contestant Kushal Tandon has grabbed the second spot in the list after Hrithik.
"Thank you 'Eastern Eye'. I am humbled by the desirable tag. I believe sexy is less to do with the physical and more to do with the mental perspective on life, others and yourself," Hrithik said, according to Press Trust of India.
"Do good, never please, know your worth, walk your path, have a sense of humour, be the giver, be self-sufficient and contribute with power to all around. Sexy is as sexy does.
Create your own sexy!"
The weekly newspaper's showbiz editor Asjad Nazir said Hrithik is talented, has the best physique and he connects with everyone. Nazir also said Hrithik would soon become India's first global cinematic superstar.
"The reason why Hrithik is regularly voted top is that he ticks all the boxes. He is a talented actor, is the best dancer in Bollywood, has arguably the best physique and has the kind of humility that connects him to the everyday individual," Nazir said.
Meanwhile, this year Indian television actor dominated the list with around 12 actors from small screen making it in the sexiest Asians' list.
"Madhubala" actor Vivian D'Sena made his entry in the top 10 list for the first time. Vivian has been voted the fourth sexiest Asian alive, followed by "Haider" actor Shahid Kapoor in the fifth position.
Television actor Barun Sobti has been ranked as sixth sexiest Asian, while Pakistani actor Fawad Khan has been named as the seventh sexiest man.
"Barfi!" actor Ranbir Kapoor and "Kick" actor Salman has made it to the top 10 list at eighth and 10th positions, respectively.
The weekly newspaper will release the complete list on Friday. But here is the list of Indian actors who dominated the list.
