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.

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.

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.

'Ek Thi Daayan doesn't propagate witchcraft’

Emraan Hashmi is an antithesis of his over-the-top screen image. In real life, he has a wicked sense of humour, for only those who get it. When he debuted in 2003, critics were quick to write him off due to his non-hero looks and his choice of films. It has been a long journey and not a smooth one for him since his ‘Murder’ days. From a mass hero catering to mostly frontbenchers to bankable star super-hit potboilers, he has coursed the long mile. His performance as Jogi Parmar in 'Shanghai' made the critics sit up and take notice of him. With Vishal Bhardwaj's 'Ek Thi Daayan', Emraan's filmi graph has taken a new turn as he stars along with Huma Quereshi, Kalki and Konkona Sen Sharma. In a candid chat, the star tells us about his role and why he wants to get rid of his ‘kisser’ image. Excerpts from the interview: How did ‘Ek Thi Daayan’ happen? I was drawn to the story and the subject, written by Mukul which was adapted by Vishal. It was fascinating be

Motorola's tattoos could replace passwords

Motorola’s forthcoming phones could use electronic tattoos or pills to identify users, it has been announced.   The technology, which aims to remove the need to enter passwords and replace them simply with a phone being close to a user’s body, was one of the suggestions Dennis Woodside, Motorola’s chief executive, California's D11 conference yesterday. The tattoos have been developed by Massachusetts-based engineering firm MC10, and contain flexible electronic circuits that are attached to the wearer's skin using a rubber stamp. Nokia has previously experimented with integrating tattoos into mobile phones, and Motorola's senior vice president of advance research, Regina Dugan, a former head of the US Pentagon's Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency, demonstrated the silicon-based technology that uses bendable electronic circuits. Initially designed for medical purposes, Motorola hopes the ‘Biostamps’ could now be used for consumer authentication purposes. Motor
