Barun Sobti, better remember as Arnav Singh Raizada in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, rose seven places from last year to third place on the list. Eastern Eye showbiz editor Asjad Nazir, who compiles the annual list and is chairman of the judging panel, said, “The very big surprise of the 2013 list was Indian actor Barun Sobti, who rose seven places from last year to third place on the list, despite being off-screen since he left hit TV serial Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon to pursue a movie career in 2012. Sobti led a burgeoning group of television stars that are clearly giving their film contemporaries a run for their money in this year's list.”
Other television actors who scored in the top 50 sexiest men included Kushal Tandon (9), Gurmeet Choudhary (11), Karan Singh Grover (13), Rithvik Dhanjani (15), Salman Yussuf Khan (20), Gautam Rode (23), Vivian D Sena (24), Eijaz Khan (42) and Karan Wahi (46).
“Television actors are playing a much bigger part in the lives of people and that probably explains why so many film stars use television to promote their movies. It also explains why movie producers are now signing up TV stars,” explained Nazir.
Television popular Drashti Dhami and Sanaya Irani also made in Top 10 in Sexiest Asian Female category.

The lead actor Hrithik Roshan, who plays a superhero in the film, said that it was a huge competition for them to make a flick on science fiction as this would surely place them in comparison zone with Hollywood superhero films. “When we saw the look of The Avengers, Iron Man 3, Superman.. It was awesome...they had raised the bar... They have taken it to another level. We had to stand up and face competition. Why not compete with them and find out what we can do,” said Hrithik on the trailer launch event.
Starring Priyanka Chopra, Kangna Ranaut and Vivek Oberoi in lead roles, Krrish 3 is the third installment of this superhero series Koi Mil Gya and Krissh. Even as everyone is looking forward to the release, Hrithik wants to keep everything relating to the movie under wraps.
Vivek and Kangana, the new additions in the third installment will be seen playing antagonists. Elated Vivek said, “I loved working with the Roshans. They are genuine, large hearted. I believe if you have a legendary director like Rakesh Roshan then you can play any character convincingly, it is his brilliance... he has created the character.”
