It seems like Hrithik Roshan who started off this year with a bang by registering the first hit of the year, Agneepath, is set to end it on an equally high note. In fact the actor, for the second year in a row, has emerged as the sexiest Asian man in the world in an online survey conducted by a London-based weekly Eastern Eye.

In the poll, Hrithik outmatched the likes of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, John Abraham and Ranbir Kapoor to clinch the top spot. While he beat Pakistani singer-turned-actor Ali Zafar who ended as the runner up, Salman finished third and last year’s runner up Shahid Kapoor come fourth.

However, newcomer Sidharth Malhotra was the new entrant clinching the fifth place beating TV star Kushal Tandon at sixth, Shah Rukh Khan at seventh place followed by John Abraham at eight and Ranbir at nine.

The top 20 also included newcomer Varun Dhawan at thirteenth, Akshay Kumar at fifteenth, Emraan Hashmi sixteenth and Imran Khan seventeenth, followed by Abhishek Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan and Pakistani singer Atif Aslam.
