Priyanka Chopra has defeated Angelina Jolie, Emma Watson, Blake Lively and Michelle Obama to be named the second ‘most beautiful woman in the world’.
In a poll by LA-based photo journal and video-sharing social media network BuzzNet, Priyanka is just behind pop diva Beyonce in the list.
The 34-year-old star took to Twitter to share the news and thanked her fans for voting.
Model and Victoria’s Secret angel Taylor Hill was at number three, followed by Harry Potter actress Emma Watson.
Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson and former US presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton came in at fifth and sixth positions respectively.
Jolie was ranked at eighth, while this year’s Oscar winner, La La Land star Emma Stone sits at number 12.
Supermodel Gigi Hadid is in the 13th position and the former first lady of the US Michelle Obama is number 21.
The list also includes Wonder Woman Star Gal Gadot, Oprah Winfrey, Naomi Campbell, Alicia Vikander, Margot Robbie, and Priyanka’s Baywatch co-star Alexandra Daddario.
Priyanka Chopra became a name to reckon with in the West after she landed the lead role in the TV series Quantico.
Her singles In My City and Exotic, in which she was seen alongside Pitbull, also fetched her much acclaim beyond the country’s shores.
Last year, the actress was also named as Unicef’s newest global Goodwill Ambassador and called on the world to build a better future for children.
She has been a nationwide ambassador in India for the children’s charity since 2010 but has now taken on a prestigious international role, following in the footsteps of Bollywood heavyweight Amitabh Bachchan.
