Here’s a quick chat with Disha Patani on winning the coveted title. Excerpts:
How does it feel to be India’s Most Desirable Woman of 2019?
I feel the audience is too kind. I am grateful for all the love that I’ve been receiving and it’s a beautiful feeling. It’s fun, but at heart, I am still the tomboy I used to be.
What do you think are the qualities that make you desirable?
I think my relatability is what resonates with the audience. It could be anything — being my own version of fashionable or maybe, staying fit. But, above everything, I am thankful for people’s love and the fact that they find me desirable.
Who would you credit for supporting and nurturing you to be the best version of yourself that we see today?
My mother and sister. They are two of the strongest women I know, and they have really helped me be the best version of myself. And then, the credit goes to my directors, filmmakers, my team, and most importantly, my audience. I am always driven to deliver my best to the audience, and their response keeps me motivated.
And, who according to you is the most desirable man in Bollywood?
Well, everyone has a desirable personality. But, I think Shah Rukh Khan leads the game, undoubtedly.
Forever Desirable
We have created a separate list for women who will remain ‘Forever Desirable’. The coveted league includes Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. These ladies, therefore, do not feature in The Times 50 Most Desirable Women list. Given how beautiful they are, they would have undoubtedly topped the list year after year.
With plenty of new, young contenders clamouring to be a part of this ‘Top 50’ list every year, a separate list for these ‘Forever Desirable’ women, only makes room for more new entrants.
