The Haider actor topped Eastern Eye's 2017 list of 50 Sexiest Asian Men in the world. Last year, he ranked seventh. Expressing surprise, the Udta Punjab star dedicated the title to his fans who voted for him.



"I would like to thank everyone who voted for me. I am humbled by the desirable tag. I believe sexy is not only to do with the physical, but as much to do with the mental perspective on life. This one is for all those fans who have loved and supported me," Shahid said in a statement.

Actor Hrithik Roshan ranked second for the third year in a row, with Zayn Malik falling to number three.

Mehran Ahmad | 6 years ago | Reply What a wasted listing. So biased... Are there only two countries in Asia?
Trollslayer | 6 years ago | Reply Eastern Eye is an Indian publication out of England, which explains the biased ranking system favoring Indians followed by former Indians. I guess India is a world unto itself, where there is no room for billions of other Asians. It would be nice to see a more inclusive list.
