Bollywood actor Deepika Padukone has bagged top honors on a leading annual poll of Sexiest Asian Woman across the globe. A UK-based weekly has recently released the list of Sexiest Asian Women in the world. It is Deepika Padukone who has been crowned as the ‘Sexiest Asian Woman of the Decade’ while Alia Bhatt has bagged the same title for this year, i.e. 2019. As for Deepika, the gorgeous diva is basking in the glory of her successful films and this is just another feather in her cap. Fans are sure going to be excited to see Deepika's name on the list. However, she finds the title 'ironic'. "I find it ironic that such recognition coincides with the release of a film such as Chhapaak.
