Hrithik Roshan’s sexy and we know it!

Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan has beaten tough competition from across countries to top the list of the 50 Sexiest Asian Men In The World for the second year in a row. The list, compiled by a UK-based media house, claims that this time around, the star has won by an even bigger margin than last year, as he received votes from all over the world including Asia, Europe, Africa and South America. According to an insider, even though he was the hot favourite and was leading right from the beginning, the win came as a major surprise to one of the hottest pin-ups of B-Town.

Hrithik admits that topping the list was indeed a surprise. “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! Thank you for this very sweet recognition,” says the Bolly hottie who will be seen reprising his superhero role in Krishh 3. Currently the actor is said to be maha-busy with the film that will be directed by his father, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan.

Hrithik beat Pakistani pop star turned actor Ali Zafar, who was the surprise runner-up. Salman Khan finished third and last year’s runner-up Shahid Kapoor came fourth. According to the panel, despite having the best physique, those voting for Hrithik were also impressed by a lot of his other qualities. “Although voters from different age groups, cultures and countries pushed Hrithik to the top of the list they all pin-pointed different qualities that make him the sexiest man on the planet. Whilst some were impressed by his physique and good looks, others liked that he is humble, a devoted family man, father and hardworking individual.  This not only makes Hrithik the perfect role model, but the dream man of women around the world and someone men aspire to be like. The mass global appeal means it will only be a matter of time before he becomes an even bigger international star,” they said.

Other Bollywood names on the list included Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan, John Abraham, Ranbir Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Emraan Hashmi and Imran Khan. Meanwhile, the highest placed sportsman in the list was once again Indian cricket star Virat Kohli.
