Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor has emerged as the sexiest woman in Asia, according to a survey.
Eastern Eye, a weekly, conducted a survey through social networking sites like Twitter and Kareena came out on top, edging out last year's winner Katrina Kaif.
Kareena, who recently gave hits like Bodyguard and Ra.One, won by one per cent of votes, the narrowest ever margin and beat off tough competition from some of the most stunning women from around the world.
Cleck through the slide show to see the other Bollywood heroines who made it to the 2011 list!
2. Katrina Kaif
Eastern Eye showbiz editor Asjad Nazir said, "This battle between the two beauties is a sign of things to come in Bollywood in the next few years. Although the list contained pop stars, TV personalities, models and film stars from around the world, the voting quite comprehensively showed that Kareena and Katrina have put a distance between themselves and the rest of the contenders in terms of popularity."
3. Priyanka Chopra
Priyanka Chopra, whose upcoming movies Don 2 and Barfee are creating quite a buzz, was placed on the third spot.
4. Bipasha Basu
Widely acknowledged as one of the hottest bods in Bollywood for the longest time, Bipasha Basu slipped one slot down to number four this year.
The actress has a lot to look forward to as she gears up for two releases -- Players and Jodi Breakers.
5. Freida Pinto
Hollywood's exotic sweetheart Freida Pinto has clocked in success with Rise Of The Plaet Of The Apes and Immortals this year.
The actress has become quite adept at making headlines, be it on the red carpet or on the 70 mm.
6. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
New mommy Aishwarya Rai Bachchan may have traded films for motherhood for a while but that doesn't mean she'll recede in the background.

It's not just us who drool over Deepika Padukone's goddess-like figure and endless legs. Turns out, the actress is feted by the whole of Asia.
The 25-year-old actress figures at number seven on the list.
9. Sonam Kapoor

We are not surprised to see the young actress at number nine in this list.
