    Mila Kunis named sexiest woman in the world

    Mumbai: Actress Mila Kunis, who broke into films in 2008 with Forgetting Sarah Marshall, in which she played Rachel Jansen, has been named the sexiest woman alive by Esquire Magazine.

    Kunis grabbed the title from last year‘s winner Rihanna. “If I wanted to charm the pants off you, I could. I think that if I bought into the hype, I would lose all sight of who I am, and so much of who I am is what my parents went through and instilled in me. And I never want to lose that. Ever. Because I would be so disappointed if I didn‘t make them proud,” she said in a statement.
    Kunis‘ performance as Lily in Black Swan gained her worldwide accolades including receiving the Premio Marcello Mastroianni for best young actor or actress at the 67th Venice International Film Festival and nominations for a Golden Globe Award for best supporting actress and a Screen Actors Guild Award for outstanding performance by a female actor in a supporting role.
    Kunis has been making headlines for her high-profile, PDA-packed romance with her ‘70s show co-star Ashton Kutcher.
