It is no secret that Pakistani singer-turned-actor Ali Zafar is well liked for his abundant musical talent, humanitarian causes, charming demeanour and good looks.  

Actors like Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan were left behind when voting for the Sexiest Asian Man commenced. Both ranked number seven and three, respectively. It is therefore rather surprising that Ali Zafar’s status as a role model and a shining symbol of success has now been cemented by Britain’s weekly Asian newspaper, Eastern Eye. He has been crowned the closest contender, by winning 2nd place on the Sexiest Asian Man on the Planet list.

The results were published following a worldwide poll in which people from different continents voted. Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan beat Ali Zafar and was voted the sexiest Asian man in the world, claiming the title for the second time in a row.
