Here are 20 scorchers that make Hindi movies hotter than the summer...
God of romance - Shah Rukh Khan
If there’s one person responsible for raising the romantic expectations of women the world over, it’s Shah Rukh Khan. He’s also responsible for the men trying that extra bit harder to please their partners. SRK is the reason millions in India and abroad believe in love. His movies are a testament to on-screen romance, more so they’ve rewritten the norm of chemistry. Well into 2015, with massive successes like Chennai Express and Happy New Year, SRK is simply spreading the love farther and wider. That’s what makes him so sexy. Regardless of how long he’s been doing it, when he stretches out those arms, the world seems a far better place.
Destiny’s star - Salman Khan
Being Salman Khan is to not be human at all. When he’s on screen, he has his own set of rules. He can fight like a superhero. He can be blasé towards technique and yet, people will lose their sanity cheering for his theatrics. Off-screen, he displays great compassion and generosity. He’s a man who lives and thrives in extremes. There’s nothing remotely normal about this enigma. He’s extraordinary and a phenom.
Happy go lucky - Abhishek Bachchan
He has a great sense of humour, but that’s not the main reason why Abhishek Bachchan is attractive. It boils down to his innate sense of coolness. He’s suave, he’s interesting, he’s quirky, he’s witty, he’s like a comic book hero. He’ll act silly just to put his audience at ease. To make them feel that he’s not some great thespian. That’s why Abhishek Bachchan pulls off tricky characters like Sam from Dostana and Nandu from Happy New Year. He’s at ease being idiosyncratic. Others may be trying, but Abhishek is a natural born dude!
Greek God gateaux - Hrithik Roshan
A sinfully layered individual who’s more exotic than the architecture in Athens. That’s Hrithik Roshan. He’s so heavenly he hardly seems human. Yes, his perfect body makes him instant eye candy. His smashing good looks make the girls drool over and over again. But it’s his unfailing dedication that adds weight to his personality. Everything he does, has to be perfect. You’d never imagine anybody else in a Krissh costume. You’ll never consider any other hero to be a better dancer than him. No one has the same definition on their six pack either. Flawless seems like an understatement.
Lover boy - Ranbir Kapoor
Everything that’s fantastic about Ranbir Kapoor can be seen crystal clear in his eyes. The pathos, ethos, passion and love shines through with utmost honesty. That’s why Ranbir enjoys such phenomenal popularity with women. In him, they see the perfect friend, but more importantly the impeccable lover. He’s not sculpted like his peers. Nor is he under any pressure or attachment. He’s his own person. He chooses to be normal. And that’s exactly what makes him special.
Intense love - Ajay Devgn
Dark. Brooding. Silent. Every trait that could be a corollary to intensity is part of Ajay Devgn’s repertoire. He is sexy because he’s unconventional. He’s not your average slick looker. He’s not the social animal winning hearts on the party circuit. Even when he comes down to the trivial act of showing off his muscles, he does it with a level of restraint. You can safely add his husky voice as another advantage. That he’s nothing like anyone else is what makes him seductive. Singham Returns or even the forgettable Action Jackson, were enjoyed solely on the physicality of Ajay Devgn.
Everybody loves a sport - Akshay Kumar
Akshay KumarHis athletic frame has undone the effects of time. Akshay Kumar still looks like he’s in his late 20s. And when it comes to pulling off grungy and slick looks, he does it with consummate ease. His penchant for martial arts and fitness set him apart. This side of his personality has enveloped his creative pursuits. Take a look at his movie roles, TV commercials and professional endeavours. He takes the khiladi tag seriously. That makes Akshay extremely appealing, not just for women but men as well.
Amazing grace - Amitabh Bachchan
No one in Indian showbiz does justice to a suit like Amitabh Bachchan. His tall frame, his brooding intensity and his verve for life make this 72-year-old one of the hottest men in entertainment. While the young boys rely on six packs and pumped up muscles, Mr Bachchan rakes up the charm with old school finesse. Take any picture of his from any red carpet event round the year. It’s going to be just perfect. That’s why he continues to push the boundaries of glamour. At an age when most men recede to being just grandfathers, he’s still the rockstar.
Smooth operator - Varun Dhawan
There’s a recreational side to Varun Dhawan’s big box office boom. Four hits on the trot, Student Of The Year, Main Tera Hero, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badlapur. His sexiness is palpable in his versatile talent. He’s like a catalyst in a dramatic chemical reaction. He can pull off kitsch and authentic with equal ease. He’s the all-rounder. That one man you could go to for being your best friend, boyfriend, husband, lover and confidante. The term ‘total package’ was made for him.
Fabulously fresh - Sushant Singh Rajput
The pull of something never-seen-before is absolutely undeniable. That’s what makes Sushant Singh Rajput so popular. He’s fresh, untouched and new. Not just that, in his short time under the spotlight, he’s exhibited great resolve. He’s not just a typical wide-eyed newcomer. He’s the hot new kid with an eye for quality. He’s faultlessly committed to his fiancée Ankita Lokhande and that only adds to his appeal with the ladies. B-town’s latest poster boy is everything you need to spice things up.
Sinful Temptation - Sidharth Malhotra
It’s almost like Sidharth Malhotra is way beyond his years. He’s turned 30 yet he behaves with a level of restraint that’s rare even in much-older men. And, he has all the trappings to engage the female gaze. He’s built like an athlete, his disposition is as cool as a surfer and he’s as talented as any artiste. Now that’s a heavenly combination. And that’s exactly what’s worked wonders in movies like Hasee Toh Phasee and Ek Villain. Sid is so attractive; he’s literally luring you into committing a sin. There’s no way you’re getting over this hot cake.
Think sexy - Aamir Khan
One idea sums up Aamir Khan’s appeal perfectly, intelligence is attractive. It’s one reason everyone loves him, respects him and is drawn to his persona. It isn’t easy being the magnet of attraction especially when you’re just about 5 feet 6 inches. It’s contrary to the traditional definition of tall, dark and handsome. But it takes genius to turn a disadvantage into an advantage. That’s Aamir Khan’s game. Watch movies like 3 Idiots, Talaash and PK to understand the unbound appeal of the superstar. And then turn a page to social efforts like Satyamev Jayate to unravel the heart of gold.
Royal rapture - Saif Ali Khan
Even though Saif Ali Khan has tried his hand at myriad characters, his real-self hasn’t changed in the past decade or so. He hails from the royal family of Pataudi and he maintains his nawabi air with great élan. Regardless of whether his films are doing well or not, Saif has always maintained a sense of dignity and erudition about himself. He’s like a polished and well-cut diamond. A crown jewel even the most complex women would not be able to resist. Yet, he’s a committed family man and gentlemen extraordinaire.
Natural rockstar - Farhan Akhtar
Coincidentally, it all began with a little movie called Rock On!! And the rest is history. Farhan Akhtar today is the definition of all that’s hot in showtown. This director turned singer and actor has transcended from the shadows of filmmaking to being the face. His talent shone in movies like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. And he continues to shine as a performer at live concerts around the world. He’s a proverbial doer. And that attitude makes Farhan a much sought after man.
Mr Suave - IMRAN KHAN
Ease is the operative idiom for describing everything that makes Imran Khan such a darling. It’s as if he’s barely trying to be handsome. And yet, for all his casualness, he looks like he was carved from marble, velvet and satin. He’s delicate and yet he’s got the resolve of a man. Essentially, he’s the gentleman with the boyish charm. He’s laidback but very alluring.
Boy crazy - Ranveer Singh
He is a nuclear bomb of sheer energy. When Ranveer Singh unleashes his megaton blitz, you don’t need anything else. He’s adrenaline itself. Whether he’s on the big screen in the middle of Sanjay Leela Bhansali opulence or in the veil of Gunday gruff, he makpes everything seem like it’s in high tempo. There’s no slow in his dictionary. Whether you’re a girl or boy, this young lad can have your hormones in a serious rage. He also has one of the best bodies in tinsel town.
Brawn binge - John Abraham
From the time he sped onto the popularity charts on a superbike in Dhoom, John Abraham has been the veritable beefcake of Hindi movies. His muscles have grown, toned and transformed as he’s grown as an artiste. He’s maintained the fine balance between brains and brawn and that’s what’s made him so popular with the fans. He is an idol for gay men, not to speak of the frenzy he evokes in the hearts and minds of women. John is the perfect example of prime machismo. He’s robust, he’s sensitive and he’s smart. It’s a deadly combination and it guarantees leagues of swooning men and women.
STUD MUFFIN - Randeep Hooda
He is a heady mixture of chocolate and rum. He’s dark, he’s passionate and he’s sure to give you an experience worth relishing.

Movies like Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster, Highway and Rang Rasiya have worked only because of his candour. Just like his equestrian pursuits, Randeep brings a distinctive flavour to temptation.
Hunky dory - Arjun Kapoor
The archetypal hunk, Arjun Kapoor maintains a delicate balance between being winsome and intimidating. He seems tailor made for female attention. He’s also the perfect material for the boys to emulate. Erstwhile chubby kid turned into a mean machine. It’s the testosterone driven story that every boy would want to headline. That’s why Arjun Kapoor is at home in movies like Gunday and Tevar, where he’s literally the superman. But, there’s also a softer side to the burly hero. When he curls those lips downwards and makes big puppy eyes, the boyish charm becomes irresistible.
Chick magnet - SHAHID KAPOOR
Of all the names in this illustrious list, one enjoys unprecedented levels of female attention. That’s Shahid Kapoor. His fan clubs have occupied prime real estate on social networking sites. They’re swelling each day. Shahid, to college and school girls, is the equivalent of honey to bees. They flock to him entranced.
