Who is the sexiest of them all?

In the war of Khans, young Imran has a long way to go. Not in terms of theatrics or box office hits, but in terms of pure sex appeal. Be it the virtue of his sardonic wit or newly developed six pack, 45 per cent of our nation's population thinks Shah Rukh is the hottest Khan, according to a survey conducted by Filmfare magazine recently. Close on his toned heels is long-pumping bad boy Salman Khan, with 33 per cent of the population rooting for him.


Aamir will have to resign to being a thinking actor with only 11 per cent; while nephew Imran has Saif for company - both got only four per cent of the votes.

The opinion would differ drastically if one of these was to make foray into Hollywood. Only 15 per cent of the junta thinks SRK has what it takes to break into Hollywood, while only 8 per cent think Aamir will make it.

Hrithik, with his Greek God looks and green eyes, is touted by 39 per cent of the people to be the best bet as our man in the West. Curiously, man of the moment Akshay Kumar is the second most favoured, with 18 per cent votes; John Abraham's tanned Caucasian looks place him very close at 17 per cent. So while SRK's charm holds the desi audience in sway, Duggu (Hrithik) and Akki are clearly export quality heroic material.

Interestingly, when it comes to rating the sexiest among the women, Bipasha and Mallika have to take a back seat, with Katrina Kaif filling that spot, with 26 per cent votes. If Kareena needed any more incentive to put back her weight, her poor ranking - only nine per cent of the populace thinks she's pin-up material (and one of them must be Saif) - should drive her to the nearest buffet.

A mere 15 per cent of the people think Bipasha is pin-up material and even less, 12 per cent, would put a poster of madame Mallika on their walls.

But the table turns again if we were to export these beauties. A reverberating 30 per cent think Mallika would make a great Bond girl, while 24 per cent think Bipasha would do a good job of it. Only 15 per cent think of Kareena as a femme fatale, while Katrina doesn't even figure on the list.
