Ali Zafar is going places, well, literally. While he is gearing up for the release of Total Siyapaa, he is also shooting for Kill Dil. Meanwhile, he has also been crowned as Numero Uno in Eastern Eye newspaper’s list of the 50 Sexiest Asian Men In The World. In the process, he went on to beat Hrithik Roshan into the second place while also shrugging past many other notable celebrities from India.
"To beat actors of the likes of Shahid Kapoor, Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Sidharth Malhotra, Shah Rukh Khan, Jay Sean and Varun Dhawan amongst others is indeed something," says a source, "Still, Ali has managed to do that. This was courtesy sheer volume of votes that he received from different continents. As someone who has made his presence felt right from the days of Tere Bin Laden to Chashme Baddoor, Ali is arguably the biggest global celebrity Pakistan has right now."
No wonder, Ali Zafar was taken aback by the win. He said, "I am very flattered and never expected to be given this title. I still don't know how I made it onto this list, let alone top it. However, from the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank all those who voted for me."
Says Eastern Eye showbiz editor Asjad Nazir, "As a composer, musician and actor, Ali is also one of the most talented. He has cracked Bollywood and there will be very little to stop him from making a significant mark in the West.”
Fingers crossed!
