FHM 100 Sexiest Women – the definitive and most democratic search for the sexiest women in the world crowned Katrina Kaif as the winner…again!   Katrina is the only woman in the world to win the title three times – a first across all 28 FHM editions around the world.

Marc Cain, the international luxury brand joined hands with FHM to celebrate the success of the edition. Katrina Kaif unveiled the cover of the magazine in the presence of Kabeer Sharma, Editor, FHM India and Punit Agarwal, MD, Marc Cain.

FHM International has been making the 100 Sexiest List for the last 17 years, in India the list has over the last 4 years grown to be an authoritative and unapologetic poll of women Indian men love. Katrina has before this been polled the sexiest woman in the world in 2008 and 2009 and replaces the 2010 winner Deepika Padukone. The List is based entirely on SMS and online polling and saw more than 35,000 votes being cast this  year.

Canvas, the venue saw the swish set of Mumbai rub shoulders with one other while sampling the delectable hors de oeuvres. Attendees included the likes of Narendra Kumar, Vinay Khosla, Angad Bedi, Gaurav Chopra, Karishma Tanna, Hanif Hilal, Alex O’Neil and many more, who had a great evening.

“Katrina Kaif seems to have become a permanent feature on the top of our 100 Sexiest List…we might as well dub it the Katrina Kaif issue. FHM and Katrina Kaif are a match made in magazine heaven. Her average is more than Sachin Tendulkar’s which in itself is quite a feat,” says Kabeer Sharma, Editor FHM.

Punit Agarwal, MD, Marc Cain said “Marc Cain as a brand exemplifies beauty, class and panache and The FHM 100 Sexiest Women was a property which fits the prospect right. Katrina Kaif is a global icon and was a worthy choice as coronated by the FHM team. It has been a wonderful association and we hope to look forward to many more such occasions”

The event was managed, coordinated and executed by Apex Entertainment.
