Deepika Padukone  has been voted as the most desirable women of 2012 by a poll carried by Peri Peri Skinwear. The winner has been decided by 7.01 lakh votes received online on www.itimes. com/polls. Deepika has come a long way since her debut movie, ‘Om Shanti Om’. When she was asked what makes her most desirable women of 2012, she replied, “I do hope that my desirability comes from my work and the person I am and that it's not just limited to the physical attributes.

I am told I come across as a person who is warm and real. At the same time, people aspire to be like me as I am a young achiever without a film industry background For Deepika Padukone, her father is the most desirable man, “Not as a daughter, but I find my dad really desirable and admire him for the person he is. In the way that he handles his success or the human being he is or his being an achiever, but yet being simple and humble. Men of that generation are rare to find today.

That's what I will want in my man when I decide to settle down”. Among her co-stars, the ‘Cocktail’ actress finds Shahrukh Khan, the most desirable man. “At the moment my most desirable man will be Shah Rukh Khan. In my first film Om Shanti Om, I was new and extremely quiet and was just absorbing the experience. Working on Chennai Express has brought me closer to him and I can call him a friend. On a daily basis, I see a lot of goodness in him.

He is extremely generous and is the warmest person I have met. And I can say this with a lot of confidence”. Deepika is highly ecstatic to receive the best actress critics’ award at TOIFA. The actress has been rumored having an affair with her ‘Ram Leela’ co-star Ranveer Singh but Deepika said that he is a good friend of her. She will be next seen opposite Shahrukh Khan in Rohit Shetty’s ‘Chennai Express’.
