Bollywood superstar Priyanka Chopra has won the “World’s Sexiest Asian Woman” crown, according to a survey conducted by a weekly magazine.
Priyanka, 30, defeated reigning champion Kareena Kapoor and three-times winner Katrina Kaif to claim the crown of sexiest Asian woman on the planet this year.
"It has rounded off a dream year for Priyanka, which included a starring role in super-hit film ‘Agneepath’, delivering a superb performance in India's official entry to the Oscars, ‘Barfi’, and launching an international pop career alongside chart-topping singer Will.i.am," the release added.
Clearly delighted with the win, Priyanka said: "I'm hugely flattered. Who wouldn't want to have a title like this bestowed on them! A big shout out to everyone who voted for me."
British Asian magazine Eastern Eye, who annually puts together the popular list believes a dream year will give Priyanka the perfect platform to possibly becoming a Hollywood star in 2013.
"The sheer diversity of the projects that Priyanka did in 2012 combined with her close connection to fans online worked in her favor and added to her already impressive fan base. That is why she was able to beat off pop stars, TV personalities, models and fellow film stars," the magazine stated.
