Pakistani men voted third sexiest in the world


With celebs like Fawad Khan and Ali Zafar garnering global attention, it's no surprise that the world is increasingly thinking of us as an attractive nation.

Us Pakistanis have wowed the world with our technological skills and musical talent, but it appears that we are now turning heads, simply because we're that good looking!

Destination dating website MissTravel, which pairs lone travellers with attractive tag-alongs, conducted a poll about the sexiest nationalities, and 110,000 of their American customers voted Pakistani men to be the third sexiest in the world.

Beating them in this 'hot list' are men from Ireland and Australia, who came first and second on this list of sexiest nationalities for men.

The top three sexiest nationalities for women, according to this poll, were Armenian, Barbadian/Bajan and American.

Celebrities like Ali Zafar and Fawad Khan also recently made it to the top 10 of Eastern Eye's list of sexiest Asians in the world, so it comes as no surprise that Pakistani charm and good looks are picking up on the international radar.

Bollywood star Salman Khan won't go to jail today as his five-year jail sentence has been suspended, pending appeal, by the Mumbai High Court. The five-year sentence was handed down to the actor earlier this week, for a 2002 hit and run case.

According to The Times of India, the actor will continue to be on bail while he files an appeal against the verdict.

On Wednesday, Additional Sessions Judge D.W. Deshpande convicted the 49-year-old actor of culpable homicide for crashing his SUV into a group of homeless men in Mumbai and then fleeing the scene. One man was killed and several others were injured in the incident.

If Khan's sentence stands, he'll become the second big-name Bollywood actor to be imprisoned in the last two years. Sanjay Dutt, the star of a series of gangster movies, is currently behind bars over possession of weapons linked to several bombings in Mumbai in 1993.

Meanwhile, Indian newspapers reported that Salman's fan were celebrating the suspension of his sentence outside the court and his home.
