I would choose SRK any day in any lifetime over a super good looking hunk. He has a very charming aura about him, with a lot of screen presence.
As Raj from DDLJ, he had a mixture of immaturity/cheekiness and was an overall fun loving guy with a good heart. When things got serious, he was able to stand up, take responsibility of his feelings and pursue the heroine. That character pretty much became the crazed ideal for a romantic hero. The way SRK portrayed Raj was extremely endearing and so he paved a way in becoming the ultimate romance hero.
He has very expressive eyes and to some (or quite a few people) would fit the category of being cute. His romantic roles were always playful and serious, and I suppose that just sucked us all in? Also, SRK’s chemistry with his co-stars always made the emotions, love, and intensity feel real. I’m referring to co-stars like Aish, Kajol, Madhuri, Preity etc.
So yeah, to others he might not be attractive. But to me, he is so flaming adorable (with his goddamn beautiful DIMPLES), that I’d ashoka sword any other celebrity out of the way and not even give them a second glance. 😆
