Protagonist of the popular television show Qubool Hai, Surbhi Jyoti figures on this list at number 16.

Dancing sensation Shakti Mohan, 29, has found her pride of place at number 13 on this list of Asia's sexiest women in the world.

Yet another TV actress, Asha Negi, who won the sixth season of Nach Baliye with her actor beau Ritwik Dhanjani, is at number 12.

10. Preetika Rao

Amrita Rao's lil sister Preetika is doing quite well for herself! The Beintehaa actress has landed herself a spot at number 10.

9. Sonam Kapoor

Sonam Kapoor, who is gearing up for two big releases next year -- Dolly Ki Doli and Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo -- is at number nine.

8. Kareena Kapoor

The gorgeous Kareena Kapoor, who was recently seen in a cameo in her actor husband Saif Ali Khan's Happy Ending, has been placed at number eight.

7. Nia Sharma

Nia Sharma, 23, who rose to fame with her TV show Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai, is at number seven.

5. Gauahar Khan

Former Bigg Boss winner Gauahar Khan, who has been in the news thanks to a shocking incident, rounds off the top five.

4. Katrina Kaif

Last year's topper Katrina Kaif has slunk to the number four spot. Her largely conspicuous absence from the big screen (Bang Bang aside) may have caused this, perhaps? 

3. Sanaya Irani

Miley Jab Hum Tum star Sanaya Irani has a sizeable fan base too. She finished third in this popularity race.

2. Drashti Dhami

Television actress Drashti Dhami, who starred in Madhubala and also won the sixth season of celebrity dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, came second.

1. Priyanka Chopra

It's Mary Kom star Priyanka Chopra who has topped the list this year, dethroning Katrina Kaif.

"Someone once told me, sexy is what sexy does and you do it best when you are yourself. I don't know what I did to deserve this but I'll happily accept this title," Priyanka said of her latest glory.
