Deepika officially declared the hottest

If Katrina cornered the sexiest tag, Deepika is the one who is finally burning hot as the queen of the Maxim Hot 100 Girls worldwide list.

By winning, Deepika Padukone can be proud of being the number one among the ravishing beauties in the first edition of the Maxim Hot list in India.

The heroine of 'Om Shanti Om' was selected to lead the list because of two reasons.

One was her huge fan following among Indians in the country as well as abroad.
The other quality attributed to her is that she has the potential to be an international celebrity in true sense.

It has been indeed a fast journey to the top for this new actress with the least professional experience to boast when compared with her companions in the A-list heroines group.
