PIX: Hrithik, Salman Are Asia's SEXIEST Men!
Hrithik Roshan, who topped the Sexiest Asian Men list of Eastern Eye Weekly last year, came out on top in the weekly's annual list for 2012 as well.
The actor, who had a blockbuster of a beginning this year with his film Agneepath raking in over Rs 100 crore at the box office, will be next seen in yet another high profile film -- his home production Krissh 3.
A suitably surprised Hrithik responded to his win, 'I am extremely humbled at the decision of the public, also a little embarrassed as I just can't imagine myself as sexy! I'm actually someone who's just trying to get by with his battered, bruised and broken tools. So a big thank you to all for this dose of encouragement!'
Several other Indian celebs -- some regular fixtures and others making their debut -- also feature in the list.
Here's looking at the HOTTEST Indian actors in Asia!
2. Ali Zafar
Pakistani pop star and actor Ali Zafar, who is relatively new in Bollywood, made a surprise entry at number two.
He has appeared in films like Tere Bin Laden and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.
3. Salman Khan
Bollywood's resident big brother Salman Khan, who's often hailed as one of the most good-looking actors in the industry, figures at number three.
Owing to his overwhelming popularity among his loyal fans and his blockbuster films, Salman is the ultimate pin-up of Bollywood right now.
4. Shahid Kapoor
His film career may be facing a slump right now but that has hardly affected Shahid Kapoor's popularity.
He's slipped two spots down from last year's number two to the fourth spot.
5. Siddharth Malhotra
Siddharth Malhotra, who made his Bollywood debut with Student Of The Year, has really gained himself a sizeable fan following, thanks to his swagger and ripped body.
He makes his debut on this list at number five.
6. Kushal Tandon
Television actor/model Kushal Tandon leads the TV brigade with his entry on the sixth spot.
Tandon rose to fame with his role on Star Plus show Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai.
7. Shah Rukh Khan
Shah Rukh Khan, who's reclaimed his king of romance title with Yash Chopra's swan song Jab Tak Hai Jaan figures at number seven in this list.
8. John Abraham
John Abraham, a usual suspect on lists like these, figures at number eight.
9. Ranbir Kapoor
Ranbir Kapoor, at the top of his game now, can do no wrong as far as his career choices go or even his fan following.
It's only fitting that he figures in the top ten, at number nine.
10. Barun Sobti
One of the popular young actors on TV right now, Barun Sobti has appeared in hit shows like Baat Hamari Pakki Hai and Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon.
He rounds off the top ten.
11. Karan Tacker
Mumbai lad Karan Tacker, who's known for his roles in shows like Love Ne Mila Di Jodi, Rang Badalti Odhani and Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai, started his TV career as an anchor.
He's good friends with costar and fellow honouree Kushal Tandon.
13. Varun Dhawan
Another Student Of The Year debutant Varun Dhawan has entered the prestigious list too.
Filmmaker David Dhawan's younger son (older son Rohit Dhawan directed the Akshay Kumar and John Abraham starrer Desi Boyz) showed promise with his first film.
14. Jay Sean
British rapper and beatboxer Jay Sean, who is of Indian origin, has given many popualr songs in collaboration with composer Rishi Rich and fellow rapper Juggy D.
His fourth studio album All Worth It is set to release in 2013.
15. Akshay Kumar
We recently saw yet another comedy caper starring Akshay Kumar called Khiladi 786.
As anticipated, the film is going steady at the box office, and subsequently, the dishy Kumar's stock is rising too.
16. Emraan Hashmi
The star of the year so far, however, is Emraan Hashmi, who went from being a Bhatt camp loyalist to a bankable star with hits like Jannat 2 and Raaz 3.
His turn as the sleazeball porn filmmaker in Dibakar Banerjee's Shanghai won him many accolades as well.
17. Imran Khan
Imran Khan, who we see next in Vishal Bhardwaj's delightful-looking Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola after the successful romcom Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, is full of surprises as an actor.
It's hardly surprising to see this gentleman with impeccable dressing sense and manners on this list.
21. Arjun Rampal
No matter how many years pass and how many years this former supermodel ages, he'll always be a hunk with that killer smile.
Arjun Rampal, once chided for his dismal acting prowess, is coming into his own as an actor too.
22. Gurmeet Choudhary
TV hunk Gurmeet Chaudhary, who won the last season of celebrity dance show Jhalak Dikhhla Ja, is a doting husband to his former costar wife Debina Bonnerjee.
His turn as Lord Rama in Ramayana was widely appreciated.
24. Karan Singh Grover
Dil Mill Gaye's hot doctor Karan Singh Grover also figures on his popular list.
27. Vivian D'Sena
Vivian D'Sena, 24, rose to fame with his character Abhay Raichand in the youth-based supernatural show Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani.
He's at number 27.
28. Ashish Kapoor
29. Aamir Khan
Aamir Khan, actor, director, producer and TV show host, who recently featured on the cover of TIME magazine is at number 29.
