“Slumdog Millionaire” star Freida Pinto appeared in the chart of world’s sexiest women for the first time in the British men’s lifestyle magazine, FHM.

She debuted in at the 10th position in the magazine while singer Cheryl Cole topped the list, reports thesun.co.uk.

Last month, Pinto was also voted among the top five Hollywood sexiest women by men’s magazine Details.

Post Slumdog Millionaire, this 24-year-old model-actress has gone from strength to strength by landing a Woody Allen film whose cast members include Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Antonio Banderas, Naomi Watts, and Nicole Kidman.

The actress has topped quite a few beauty lists, landed leading magazine covers and walked the runway in international catwalks. And all this based on just one movie.

The “Girls aloud” beauty Cole, 25, knocked last year’s winner, actress Megan Fox, to the second place in FHM sexiest women list. Cole’s victory is the first for a Britisher in three years.

Other additions to the chart included French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s wife Carla Bruni, who was voted 40th sexiest woman in the world. Almost 10 million votes were cast by FHM readers worldwide for the poll.
