There are too many of these sexiest women/men lists. And some of them are plain misleading – being just a publicity stunt. India editions of international men’s magazines announce some Bollywood actress as the “sexiest woman of the world,” while in their other editions the ‘sexiest’ female might not even appear for contention.
There are only a few such ‘sexiest’ lists that I follow. One is the one prepared by AskMen.com. The primary reason being that I get exposed to quite a few women I didn’t even know existed and they detail the things out.
The AskMen.com’s sexiest women in the world list (though they don’t brand it that way) just came out. Here’s the complete list (just to save you the bother of going through all those pages on their website).

This time only one Indian woman made it to the list. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at No. 60. She dropped quite a number of places from her No. 27 position in the 2008 list of the most desirable women. The year before in 2006, she was placed at No. 40.
Besides Aishwarya the 2008 list had two other women of Indian origin – Padma Lakshmi at No. 66 and Malaika Sherawat at No. 67.
For the 2009 list there were five Bollywood babes in the nomination list – Aishwariya Rai Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Preity Zinta and Priyanka Chopra. But it seems that in the eyes of the world and that of AskMen.com editor’s Ash is still sexier than the other desi girls.
