The hot and talented Deepika Padukone has added yet another feather to her pretty professional cap.. The well-acclaimed ‘Cocktail’ actress was voted as India’s Most Desirable Woman in 2012 by a poll conducted by Times. Deepika won the poll with over seven lakh votes in her favour, leaving actresses like Katrina Kaif who came second and Kareena Kapoor who came third, far behind.

It can be noted that it was only recently that the leggy lass won the Critics’ Choice Award for the Best Actress at TOIFA for her film ‘Cocktail’ in 2012, proving her talent for her work. Hmmm truly an example of beauty with substance".!

Ecstatic to have won the title of India’s Most Desirable Woman, Deepika said, "I do hope that my desirability comes from my work and the person I am and that it's not just limited to the physical attributes." Despite all the praises for her work and her beauty, Deepika still remains her humble self. Talking about her success, she said, "You can't take these things too seriously. Yesterday it was someone else, today it is me and tomorrow again it will be someone else. But yes, I'm happy as it is a result of my work over the years and has not happened overnight."

Deepika is also one of the hardest working actors in the industry. With three films lined up for release this year - ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’, ‘Chennai Express’, ‘Ram Leela’ - Deepika is all geared up to make 2013 her year!
