Most beautiful of them all?

Actor Gwyneth Paltrow was recently crowned 2013’s Most Beautiful Woman in the World, by a magazine. Mother of two, the A-list Hollywood actor was officially honored for her beauty by the magazine in their annual list. The actor is married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, and has two children, Apple, 8, and Moses, 7. Recently, she has started focusing on healthy diet and lifestyle and has even authored two cook books.

However, since beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, we asked Femina readers who according to them is the most beautiful woman. Here’s what they had to say.   
Steffi Graf
For me, Steffi Graf is the most beautiful woman alive. She’s sexy in a sporty way and has an athletic body. She can look sporty and athletic, or graceful and elegant, when she chooses to. Her smile is the best thing about her—it lights up her face.
Nidhi Manek, 30, homemaker

Kate Winslet
Since the time I watched Titanic, I have been a fan of Kate Winslet. She is undoubtedly the most beautiful woman in the world. Unlike these anorexic models and stick-tin Hollywood actors, she looks healthy and her skin is radiant. And she can act too.
Anuja Menon, 21, student

Rachel Weisz
The star of The Mummy, Rachel Weisz gets my vote for the world’s most beautiful woman. And her beauty is only surpassed by her acting skills. She has acted in some amazing films. Besides, every woman wants to be her—she’s married to Daniel Craig, after all!
Dimple Shah, 32, homemaker

Monica Bellucci
If I could describe Monica Bellucci in just one word, that word would be breath-taking. She is definitely beautiful, and has aged gracefully. She is curvy and vivacious. She is glamorous and at 48, she oozes sex appeal.
Manasi Shah, 27, pharmacist

Aishwarya Rai
She exudes natural beauty. In 1994, by winning the Miss World crown she gave hope to so many young Indian girls—I was in school then, and I clearly remember she made me aspire to be a beauty queen. She photographs so well, and has the prettiest eyes I have ever seen. And now, I have newfound respect for her because she didn’t let the critics who went on about her post-pregnancy weight gain, get to her. She has taken a year and half to get back to her old self, and she looks gorgeous now.

With Love from Tehran – Mandana Karimi

The part Turkish, part Iranian, part Indian Mandana Karimi will be soon be seen in the Vikram Bhatt-directed Bhaag Johnny. The tall, brown-eyed Karimi talks to us about poetry, watches and food. When we heard you were from Iran, we instantly thought of Ferdowsi. We think his Shahnameh was as excellent piece of work as ever to come out of Iran. Are you into poetry as well? I love Ferdowsi, but there are others that you should read. People like Ahmad Shamlou and Sadi. And Hafiz, too. Hafiz… he was good, eh? Can you recite a couplet or two from one of his poems? You have to read them in Farsi, but wait, let me try to translate a couple of lines from one of his poems. This is from Drunk on the Wine of the Beloved, a collection of some 100 poems by Hafiz: Come and set my boat free on sail in the winerivers! Come and burn the guru and the youth inheavenly fires! Oh wine-bearer! In wine, let my boat sail away As, “in water set free your goodness”, they say. In mistake, I turned away from...

10 things you might not know about India

For many people writing about India, the common cliches of Delhi belly, lengthy traffic jams, bureaucracy, corruption and yoga retreats are the subjects that fill the column inches. Here are 10 other observations.   1. Hardly anyone pays income tax Only 3% of Indians pay income tax, in a population of 1.2bn. One explanation for this is that agriculture is exempt and two-thirds of Indians live in rural areas. A large chunk of the economy is also informal, unorganised labour, for which it's harder to collect taxes. Many argue that some of the country's financial problems would be solved in one fell swoop, if this massive tax hole could be filled. 2. The rise of the 'wedding detective' A friend of mine told me that, before his arranged marriage, he had a hunch his prospective in-laws had hired a private detective to check whether he'd had a girlfriend in the past. The answer was that he had, but the snoop (thankfully for my friend) failed to find out, and the weddin...
