Mumbai, Dec 7: Priyanka Chopra, who is making best of her stardom in the West, has won back the title of the world's "Sexiest Asian Woman", which she lost to her Bajirao Mastani co-star Deepika Padukone last year.

The Quantico star has topped a list of '50 Sexiest Asian Women’ compiled by London-based weekly newspaper Eastern Eye for a record-breaking fifth time.

"I cannot actually take credit for this at all. Full credit should be given to my genetics and your optics. I feel grateful and am humbled. Consistency is key," Chopra said, thanking everyone who voted in the online poll for her.

The publication notes that her ranking rounds off another dream year for the actress, which saw her make incredible strides internationally with the release of her debut Hollywood feature Baywatch, win another People's Choice Award for her acclaimed television show Quantico and sign further high-profile films in the West.

Indian TV's popular actress Nia Sharma acquired number two spot, holding on to her position as the sexiest television star in the 2017 list.

"But seeing my name next to her on the list is no less a dream and struck me with a frenzied happiness... I owe my fans this joy and want to share it with them despite not being able to digest the development," Sharma said.

Deepika (3), Alia Bhatt (4) and Pakistani actor Mahira Khan rounded off the top five.

New Delhi, Feb 25: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday gave time to Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to seek instructions on travel ban imposed on comedian Kunal Kamra.

Kamra approached the court against IndiGo which suspended him from flying with the airlines for a period of six months. Other airlines had also followed the suit in pursuance to this.

Justice Naveen Chawla said that the regulatory body should not have certified actions of airlines other than IndiGo to ban Kamra without conducting inquiry. The matter will now be heard on February 27.

Last month, IndiGo had barred the stand-up comedian for six months from using its services for allegedly portraying "unacceptable behaviour" onboard its flight.

The airline claimed that Kamra, while travelling on a Mumbai-Lucknow IndiGo flight, provoked a TV news anchor by asking questions over his news presentation style.
