‘Eastern Eye’ entertainment editor and founder of the ’50 Sexiest Asian Men’ list, Asjad Nazir, cited while talking to Economic Times that Kapoor’s growing profile as a role model as a key factor behind his big win this year, despite the postponement of his hotly- anticipated film Padmavati, in which he tackles the role of a Rawal Ratan Singh.

“Apart from showing off his impressive versatility as an actor and regularly delighting female fans with his chiseled physique, the handsome actor has won the hearts of fans with his devotion to his wife and young child,” says Nazir.
