She will feature in the new edition of the magazine and on Wednesday she unveiled the edition featuring her and the other girls in the top 100 list of sexiest women.
However, Deepika believes that her physical appearance has got nothing to do with this poll and it is only her work that led her to this. “I think something like this is really the result of the work that I do. I don’t think it has anything to do with me physically. I think that brand endorsements are also the result of the films that you do,” she said.
“I have been very fortunate that the roles I have done in the last two to three years have been very different from each other. So I guess this and the endorsements are a result of that and, of course, the success of that and the relatable characters,” she added.
Deepika was last seen in the Tamil film Kochadaiiyaan. Her look in her upcoming film Finding Fanny is also out. The film has been directed by Homi Adajania and stars Arjun Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah and Dimple Kapadia.

@Jehangir Jawiad: Why is it imp for women? If you have accepted you being a failure then why are you crying. Who are you to decide what others should do with their life? Why do you use Internet created by enlighted people? What is your contribution to this world apart from mere consumer?
When the world was created, Human beings had no sense of wearing clothes but as the times goes they came to know the importance of wearing clothes and later it becomes the basic need for human beings not only as necessity but also for ''Haya / Pakeezgi'' Specially (for women). Now the dirty and so called enlighten and modern people trying to make society as nude as possible in the name so called 'Basic Human Rights' and they are very much successful.
@akber I am hundred percent agree with you. But this is how voting works ! You need not to accept what other says. Also everyone can have his own vote. Even, I think that in many people may vote for Ranbir kapoor instead !
She is no doubt the most sexiest woman today.Haters are going to hate.
@ Zahid .. Mate In days of equality when a woman cant choose what I should wear , Why should I choose it for her. Yes men would love to see women naked , but whose problem is that , who needs to shift his gaze from seeing woman as an individualrather than an object. What gives men the right to stare visciously and judge women by her attire, is that not perverted morality.
And why rapes happening in conservative societies even with women with conservative dresses. ? Should not we think problem lies some where else ? Should not we think out oif the box? Should not we think as people living in 21 st century where world has become a global village and we have to interact with all sorts of people with all sort of dressing preferences? Can we stop imposing our order on others? Can we live n let live ?
LOL look at all the Indians flipping tables and writing 9000 thesis papers because one Pakistani made a comment that "just because all of India voted for it, doesnt mean the world believes in it" I love it. I love the intolerance and anger in you guys. Proves Quaid-e-Azam right..
This is simply not correct. Jennifer Lawrence is FHMs sexiest. Deepika might be indias sexiest in some side poll or something. Come on ET
@Zahid: U can crawl back to your cave this is 21st century !
Pakistani are criticizing just cos she is an Indian. They criticized Malala also . Pakistan needs to come back to 21st century!
@Zahid: Living naked is basic human rights.
@Reema if you think showing your body to others is women's liberty then you're slave of your distorted thoughts. I am sure men would love to see women's naked.
@Junaid So you are that type of man that judges beauty, intelligence and character of a female based on the cloths she wears? Are you for real? Come out of your patriarchal male chauvinism. Controlling, judging and moral policing woman in today's time is so not done dude. Woman of 21st century don't require permission or beauty standard certificate from men like you on whats cheap and best for them. Save such regressive,sexist,oppressive thoughts for yourself.
No doubt she is very sexy. If her fan base thinks that she is sexiest women in the world then nobody should object to it..
@tata some anonymous locals within locals in their country who the world haven't heard of. Wiki too doesn't have their education,personal background or information apart from their daily soaps wrk and housewife kitchen achievements. And comparing that to the actress who's national level badminton champion, self made career oriented woman,fashionista,who's vogue,mabeline,lakme,kingfisher model, actress - who's film opened the Moroccan film festival ,offered film fast and furious which she declined for clashing dates of ram leela movie is stupidity. Deepika has also won uk magazine eastern eye worlds sexiest asian from 2009-2013 ranking in top ten every time.
@junaid: Mahira khan ,sanam baloch and saba qamar..who are they..
So??? But that is called democracy. If you got high number of votes you will win.
@junaid: calm diwn man. Atleast she never went topless like veena malik
@akbar you are comparing india's net population of 73million vs 7billion population of rest of the world voting together, yet we win? 73million > 7billion? Hats off to your logic. For your info america and china are first and second most internet user populated country. By your logic shouldn't they be on list? Same way if it was just population then all world polls should be won by india right? Why is Obama voted top in majority? Or bill gates as most influential? Just because she's indian you don't have to criticise for the sake of it. @junaid how many world beauty pageants have your country won to claim that statement? "Cheap,show skin" cheap to you, as your thinking is backward and Stone Age, come back to modern world of 2014. Its liberating and freedom of expression for them the way they want to dress and behave without male supremacy. It's their right and liberty no man has right to curtail womens wing calling it cheap and how they should behave diktat. They see covered people from top to bottom as repressed prejudiced society.
@akber: that's called democracy mate. the person who gets the most votes wins.
we have most beautiful women like Mahira khan and sanam baloch and saba qamar. Its just that we dont show skin and become cheap like hollywood and bollywood bimbos. There is grace with beauty which some people dont get
So??
the most photoshoped sexy girl in the world,
just because Indians votes more than any other country in a poll doesn't mean the whole world thinks the same, if we can see the sample of pole that all over the world voted in majority for depeka than we can accept it to be voice of the world.
