Handsome hunk Hrithik Roshan beat off tough competition from high profile stars to top Eastern Eye newspaper’s renowned list of the 50 Sexiest Asian Men In The World for 2011. The popular A-list actor led the voting from the outset and won by the biggest ever margin in the history of the men’s list to topple last year’s winner Ranbir Kapoor who finished sixth. Hrithik, who was third last year, got votes from all over the world from fans of different ages and cultures via social networking sites like twitter.

Described by many as a Greek God, Hrithik went back to winning ways in 2011 playing the lead role in mega-hit movie Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and having his waxwork added to the Madame Tussauds museum in London. He also shot for the hotly anticipated Agneepath remake, featured as a judge on hit TV show Just Dance and signed up for hotly anticipated superhero movie sequel Krrish 2. Shahid Kapoor was the surprise runner up in second place, with Shah Rukh Khan in third and Salman Khan in fourth. Eastern Eye showbiz editor Asjad Nazir, who annually puts together the very popular list and is chairman of the judging panel believes Hrithik is a worthy winner and a leading man with global appeal. This year there was a massive gap between Hrithik and the rest of the crowd. A majority of the men and women from different age groups, cultures and countries agreed that Hrithik was the sexiest man on the planet. He is the perfect ambassador for India and someone who could take on anyone in Hollywood in terms of looks, talent and likeability. The fact that he can probably get even better is a frightening prospect for rivals and great news for his fans said Asjad.

2011’s full list is published in UK’s most popular weekly newspaper Eastern Eye on December 2.
