Thread fast approaching lock. In short, beauty is subjective but stereotyping entire group, sect, community, race or whatever is offensive.

Meanwhile, there are many good looking Indian men but sadly all are on TV, they do not get chance to do a BW film. Also those men on TV some of them are better actors then BW ones.

For me Turkish men are good looking and yes so are Pakistani men they were ranked 2nd or 3rd for having good looks.

There are more good looking guys in HW.

The person said, "Caucasians usually have defined jawlines and sharp features" which is utter claptrap. That's where colonial hangover comes in.

Good looking men can't act like Sid Malhotra, Arjun Rampal, Johan Abraham, Fardeen, Neil Nitin.

Then there are the ones who are amazing in acting but not conventionally good looking like Nawaz, Vicky, Irrfan.

Hrithik fits the bill to a certain extent when he does not overact and when he leaves out the koi mil gaya Rohan out from the character.

beauty lies in the eyes of beholder..its only perspective..

i used to find SUSHANT SINGH RAJPUT really ugly esp couldn't see him in Dhoni movie with long locks ughh...

but that DUDE became a sex symbol after Raabta..i now got a shirtless poster of him on my wall...so its all about perception.

In the young(er) generation, apart from RK, RS, Arjun & Tiger, I don't think anyone is ugly tbh. Varun is not that handsome but he is decent looking on screen.

I so agree. Not just in bollywood, I can see this in other Indian film industries as well. But idk I think this is seen pretty much everywhere. I mean, look at actresses like Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley. They are so pretty but their husbands are not. At all. Maybe Hollywood is a much larger industry (is it?) and that's why we can find more good lucking men there, though the ratio must be around the same?
BTW, are you on reddit as well haha?

@bold Sadly, yes. Sadly cuz I spend way too much time on there and it isn't doing me any good. 😆

There are Hrithik Roshan, Salman Khan, John Abraham, Arjun Rampal which are <3

All of the three Khans (+Akshay Kumar, tho only when clean-shaven) were hot in their youth, but only Salman persists to this day. I suppose the secret is to never get married. But there are hardly any handsome men amongst the young ones. I remember getting blown away by JA and AR's handsomeness back when I was a kid lol.

Shiney Ahuja was hot too, but now, he is canceled in my books.

There was also that Dev Pratap Singh from Kaajjal. He was such a <3
