Top Bollywood Artists

Sherlyn Chopra is a very happy woman as of now. First, she became the only Indian who posed bare for the Playboy magazine, and now India's erotica icon has bagged the 63rd spot on the list of the most desirable women in the world. The list consists of 99 ladies around the world in a poll on the International website AskMen.

Surpassing names like Rachel Weisz, Tina Fey, Katie Holmes, Kate Moss, Kim Kardashian, Charlize Theron and India's Bipasha Basu (who bagged the 67th spot), Sherlyn scored up.

The site revealed "while some of her more traditional countrymen chastised her for the bold move (to pose for Playboy), Sherlyn stood firm, posed for the iconic mag and proudly took her place in history."

Sherlyn's publicist told, "Around 20 million readers are said to have voted for this poll, which makes it a list that truly reflects who men from all over the world really celebrate."

What's more! The list is also one of the few which refrains from picking names for looks, face value and popularity. Instead the readers have chosen more wisely, going with women who represent the complete package of beauty, brains, ambition and charm.

Unquestionably, being chosen as a woman of substance is more awesome than just being a pretty face or a hot bod; and Sherlyn Chopra must feel proud of it.

That's not the only reason for the hottie to celebrate. If all things go well then she will also be seen at the Cannes Film Festival next year, for her role as the female lead in Rupesh Paul's Kamasutra 3D.
