Katrina voted Sexiest Asian Woman; also most searched person on Google

There is no denying the fact that Katrina Kaif is among the most sought after actresses in Bollywood today. After all, in the recent past, Katrina has been part of many-a-hit films like Partner, Namastey London, Welcome, Singh Is Kinng to name a few. Now the gorgeous actress has added not just one but two special feathers to her already impressive cap.

Last week, Katrina was voted the 'Sexiest Asian Woman' for the year 2008 in a poll conducted by Eastern Eye, a well read publication in the U.K. Last year's winner Bipasha Basu has now been pushed to the second spot. Just as accolades started pouring in for this feat, Katrina was in for yet another piece of good news.

Katrina features among the Top 10 in 3 different categories in Google's 2008 India Zeitgeist lists, a compilation of most searched terms on the internet released every year. While Katrina tops the 'Most Popular Bollywood Celebrity' category, she figures at No.3 in the 'Fast Rising Searches' category and at No.10 in the 'Most Popular Searches' category. In fact she is the only 'person' to feature in the Top 10 'Most Popular Searches' category which otherwise features topics as diverse as Cricket to Indian Railways.

A source close to Katrina said, "Katrina's popularity is catching up with the masses in a big way. People are mesmerized by her beauty. Several of her fans have kept Kats' pics as screensavers and wallpapers. Her smile, they say, is like an oasis in a desert. It helps them feel relaxed when they feel down at work."

Katrina obviously is thrilled at this turn of developments. "I have to thank my fans for their constant love and support. I just don't know what else to say. Frankly I'm overwhelmed."
