MUMBAI:

Priyanka Chopra, who has been chosen Asia’s sexiest woman by Eastern Eye, an Asian newspaper published in Britain, says she is flattered by the honour because she’s never really thought of herself as attractive.

“That was news to me. It was specially flattering because I was in the reckoning along with some of the sexiest women in this country,” Priyanka said from Adelaide. “Bipasha Basu got the honour last year. She’s truly sexy. I’ve never considered myself sexy. In fact, I’ve never even thought myself as attractive.”

Ask her to define sexy and Priyanka hems and haws.

“Hmmmm. To me it’s certainly not about taking off one’s clothes. My sexiest character to date was in Aitraaz. And I played the man-eater fully clothed. Sexy is not about skin. It’s about attitude and poise.”
