In 2016, Deepika Padukone dethroned Priyanka Chopra as the sexiest Asian woman but a year later, in 2017, Priyanka has reclaimed her throne as she has yet again been voted as the “Sexiest Asian Woman”. A poll conducted by London-based weekly newspaper Eastern Eye has come up with a list of ’50 Sexiest Asian Women’ and Priyanka has topped it for the record-breaking fifth time. However, Deepika has slipped to the third position in the list.
Commenting on her big win and thanking those who voted for her, the global Indian star, Priyanka said, “I cannot actually take credit for this at all. Full credit should be given to my genetics and your optics. I feel grateful and am humbled. Consistency is key.” The Quantico actor had an eventful 2017 with the release of her Hollywood debut Baywatch also starring Dwayne Johnson, her win at the People’s Choice Award for her TV series Quantico, her signing other big projects in the West (Kid Like Jake, Isn’t It Romantic?), her several stylish red carpet appearances (Met Gala, Academy Awards, Emmys) and Ventilator, a Marathi film produced by her winning three National Awards.
