Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan has been voted the Sexiest Asian
Male of 2019 as well as the last decade in an online poll released in London on
Wednesday.
The 45-year-old
actor who has box-office hits such as War and Super 30 topped the annual 'Sexiest Asian
Male' ranking compiled by British news weekly Eastern Eye, based on votes from
film fans around the world, heat generated on social networking sites as well
as wider impact over the year. Roshan scored a double win as he topped the
overall ranking for the last 10 years as well.
"I would like to thank everyone who
feels so and has voted for me; I am flattered," said Roshan, as he
stressed that he did not view it as an "achievement". He said:
"Just a person's looks are not relevant in the larger scheme of things. I
don't judge people by the way they look. Similarly, I don't judge myself either
by the way I look. What is attractive in a person is his/her story, journey and
the way that person has dealt with situations in his/her own life. Looking a
certain way for my characters is just a part of my job, which takes a lot of
effort and hard work."
“Hrithik is
the most voted for star since the list was founded 16 years ago and
consistently shown there is more to him than the Greek God looks, and
physique,” said Nazir. Bollywood actor and 2017 winner Shahid Kapoor came in at
second place, with television actor Vivian Dsena ranking third, screen action
hero Tiger Shroff making his debut in the top 10 at No. 4 and British Asian
popstar Zayn Malik completing the top 5 for 2019.
“The men featured in 2019 were connected
by the fact they all went beyond their stardom and looks to make a positive
impact. That is what really sexiness is about and why this list connects with
millions around the world,” said Nazir.
Besides Roshan, the top 10 for the decade
is dominated by actors and singers except Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli,
who is ranked seventh. The list, which created a buzz on social media as it
trended on Twitter in recent weeks, will be published in Eastern Eye on Friday.
