Katrina Kaif and Rahul Gandhi have emerged as India’s most eligible single woman and man in a poll conducted by a wedding portal.
While Gandhi polled 30 per cent votes, Katrina was preferred by 27.5 per cent respondents.
"It surely feels nice to top such a poll. I really hope I will not remain single forever," smiled Kaif, while reacting to the outcome of the poll by BharatMatrimony. com. She beat Vidya Balan (22.7 per cent votes), Priyanka Chopra (18.7 per cent) and Deepika Padukone (13.3 per cent) to wrest the top spot.
Gandhi, on his part, edged out cricket skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, his vice- captain Yuvraj Singh and Bollywood stars Shahid Kapur and John Abraham to top the year- end poll. While Dhoni polled 21.1 per cent votes, Shahid had 13.4 per cent votes. Interestingly, flavour of the season Ranbir Kapoor finished sixth.
"Rahul Gandhi deserves the top slot. He comes across as a good boy and a thorough gentleman. Plus, there are no past ‘stories’ about him unlike several cricketers and movie stars," ad guru Prahlad Kakkar said. " For example, a person like Salman Khan is unlikely to top such a list due to his several past encounters with women," he added.
