Shahrukh Khan fans can cheer on as the Bollywood actor has been voted by a London-based weekly as the 'Sexiest Asian Man' in the world for this year.

Close on the heels of the commercial success of the film 'Om Shanti Om', the Badshah of Bollywood has earned the sobriquet of being the Sexiest Asian Man in the World in 2007' - a title conferred on him by the British-Asian Paper "Eastern Eye".Shah Rukh Khan has topped the list for the first time in the title's three-year history. Not far behind are Hrithik Roshan and John Abraham at second and thurd positions respectively.Also featuring on the list is Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan who top ranked last year, but slipped to the fourth position.

Having been in the news for more than just his latest release, especially the six pack - an asset which must have surely earned him some brownie points in the race for the title - King Khan was quite surprised at the announcement. Speaking to the paper, SRK says, "I never thought I would be called sexy or be put into that category. I am comfortable about the way I carry myself. That's what is sexy, I think!"
