They've got the SWAG: Meet the Rockstars of Indian Television!

Check out the edgy and charming 'Rockstars' of Indian Television.



Long hair, quirky tattoos, trendy outfits and a dark vibe which portrays their struggle to rock it to the top; are the factors that define a "Rockstar".

Indian television has time and again come up with its own depiction of Rockstars, who are mostly the charismatic, stylish lover-boys that girls fall head over heels for. Indian television 'Rockstars' are usually a deadly combination of looks to die for and the sexy swagger that they mercilessly flaunt!  

Take a look at the quintessential 'Rockstars' of the Tinseltown. 


It was Iqbal Khan, who started the rockstar trend in the industry. Even though the current crop of 'rockstars' do not look any closer to how Iqbal portrayed his part in the show, his character sketch definitely provides a guiding line to draw inspiration from.  

Karan Patel as Robbie Sabbhrawal in Kasturi



Who knew, that angry young man Karan Patel could convincingly play a rockstar! A bad ass attitude, with a dash of swag, those passionate eyes and the whole Am-sexy-and-I-Know-it look... Bammm! The industry and audience were both blessed with the most promising actor and a true Rockstar!! 
 

Shabbir Ahluwalia as Abhi in Kumkum Bhagya



Shabbir plays the super cool rockstar Abhi in his current show. For Abhi, it has always been music that has offered him the inner peace when he is in serious turmoil. Audience can constantly see their favorite Abhi plucking his electric guitar strings time and again in the show these days, give the fact that Pragya (Sriti Jha) and Tanu (Leena Jumani) still continue their cat and mouse game around him.

Parth Samthaan as Manik in Kaisi Yeh Yaairaan



MaNan formed because of music. In fact, Manik and Nandini (Niti Taylor) hated each other and also loved each other only because of Music. It has played a very important part in their life. 

Pearl V Puri as Abeer in Phir Bhi Na Maane..Badtameez Dil



Pearl V Puri, played a heart broken musician in his debut show, Phir Bhii Naa Maane Badtameez Dil. And no surprises for guessing, Pearl is a singer and guitarist in real life as well. Looks like for Pearl, music has been with him throughout. 

Suyyash Rai as Nissar in Phir Bhi Na Maane..Badtameez Dil



Suyyash too, like his co-star from Phir Bhii Naa Maane Badtameez Dil, is a musician. In the show, where music brings Abeer (Pearl V Puri) and Meher (Asmita Sood), music is what breaks Nissar (not completely) and takes away from him his best friend Abeer. 

Mohit Gaur as Mandy in Ishq Unplugged



Remember the sweet chocolate boy from Honey Singh's Raw Star? For those who did not recognize it yet, Mandy a.k.a Mohit Gaur is the same guy. For Mohit, we can say, music made him what he is today.  

Karan Kundra as Rahul in Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum



Karan has been gifted with killer looks. One look our way and we girls would melt into a puddle. And hand him an acoustic guitar and girls are sure to die of a heart attack. How we wish Karan could sing and play a guitar in real life. 

Additi Bhatia as Ruhan in Yeh Hai Mohabbatein



One exception to the lot of male co-stars is our Ruhaan a.k.a Aditi Bhatia from Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. The girl played a teenage singing sensation with great ease and conviction.

Angad Khanna would always be unique by the virtue of being original. Iqbal Khan's portrayal of the cynical, arrogant, and later passionate in love rockstar was flawless. Not to forget he did it at a time when the men in TV industry were only allowed to be businessmen and more often than not had a dispensable part in the show.

Angad was the beginning of the concept of the Byronic hero on TV and truth be told most of the popular characters that followed were more or less variations. Angad would always be special.
