Katrina Kaif is surely a heartthrob for many people. What girls, what boys- everyone loves Katrina’s looks and appearance. Her sizzling disposition has helped her bag one more feather in her cap. She has been listed on the top position in the Sexiest Women 2011 list of men's lifestyle magazine FHM.

She has given a close competition to Deepika Padukone who won the title last year. Though this is not for the first time that the actress has won the title of the ‘Sexiest Women’ by FHM, earlier in 2008 and 2009 also she has bagged the same title.

As many as 35, 000 responses were seen this year for the FHM 100 Sexiest Women List that is based on online and SMS voting.

In a statement to media Kabeer Sharma, executive editor FHM India, said, “"We'd love to say 2011 was a close contest, only Sheila made sure it was far from. A feat that becomes even more significant because no woman in the world across all 28 editions of FHM has ever won the Sexiest Woman in the World title three times in the last 17 years that we've been making the list. Her average is higher than Sachin Tendulkar's and she replaces Deepika Padukone who won the crown in 2010.”

Katrina is surely seeing her high these days as she was not only the sole Bollywood actress who featured on India Today's Elite Power list but also is the most Google-searched Bollywood Indian celebrity.

In an upcoming event organized by the Gem and Jewelry Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), Sonam Kapoor has been named as the face of the second edition of the India International Jewelry Week (IIJW) to be held from July 31st to August 4th.

Obviously excited about it, Sonam told the media personals, “"It's not only an honor but a privilege to be the face of this magnanimous event. This aims at promoting Indian talent on a global platform. I'm glad that GJEPC has taken the initiative of placing India on the global arena of designer jewelry. I'm looking forward to seeing some exemplary talent at the IIJW this year.”
In the first edition of IIJW there was no brand ambassador. But this year is special for not only IIJW but for Sonam Kapoor also as she has been picked as its Brand Ambassador.

GJEPC chairman Rajiv Jain said, "IIJW positions India as one of the finest creators of high quality jewelry and is a showcase of India's prowess in jewelry, be it design, innovation, craftsmanship or quality. We are pleased to announce Sonam Kapoor as our brand ambassador who exudes the values of glamour, luxury yet rooted in Indian culture and offers perfect brand fit.”

Grand Hyatt would see the key participants including Gitanjali Gems, Anmol Jewellers, Amrapali Jewels Pvt. Ltd, Tanishq, Rosily Paul creations, Divya Ahuja and Kashi Jewellers highlighting the event with their exclusive collection. Stretching up to five days, the event would showcase collections from designers and design houses for the first four days and the last day will culminate into a grand finale, showcasing the best of all participants of the week.
