10 Asia's Sexiest Women

1 - Bipasha Basu -Britain's largest selling Asian newspaper hailed actress Bipasha Basu as the Sexiest Asian Women in the World. The newspapers defined the Bollywood diva as "a living embodiment of sexual attractiveness... whose acting ability, beauty and charm are capable of arousing great interest from the world's media". Last year, it was Priyanka Chopra who was No. 1 on the list of the Sexiest Asian Women in the World.

2 - Madhuri Dixit -In the runner up position surprisingly is no glam actress of today. Instead actress Madhuri Dixit, whose film Aaja Nachley is all set to hit the screens soon, enjoys the second position in the poll. Looks like her mesmerizing smile and great persona still makes her so 'wanted'. Quite an achievement at her age, we say.

3 - Priyanka Chopra -At No. 3 is Priyanka Chopra. All of only 25 years of age, Chopra was hailed as the third Sexiest Asian Woman in the World. The actress has made her mark in Bollywood and is only getting better in talent and looks as days go by. And about being touted as a sex symbol, we're sure Priyanka has no aitraaz, as long as her andaaz is still recognized.

4 - Aishwarya Rai Bachchan -The lovely Aishwarya Rai comes fourth on the list. One wonders if her change in marital status has anything to do with her drop in popularity. But let us tell you, Ash is still 'drop dead gorgeous' and a tough competitor is these sexy polls.

5 - Laila Rouass -Laila Rouass is best known for her role in the Brit Drama Footballer's Wives, where she plays Amber Gates.

9 - Lara Dutta -Miss Oomph, Lara Dutta was Sexy Asian Woman No. 9. The actress has upped her sexy quotient ever since Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, and soon after was lucky to have yet another success story under her belt in the form of the Salman-Govinda starrer Partner. The girl, we're sure, is going to climb the ladder of success and sexiness slowly but surely.
