A Drool Special - TV's Hottest Hunks

In India, television was considered to be the actress' domain where the female lead was given much more prominence on the screen. Indian television, they said, was meant to be for all those women sitting at home wielding the remote. Where, oh, where then were the neat specimens of the male variety that the female species could have visually feasted on? Take away the handful muscled physiques and you were left with the wimpy husbands, the adorable obedient sons or the paternally affectionate fathers in law. Hardly material worth writing home about, leave alone dreaming of!

In the last couple of years, the industry has moved away from the traditional genre of portraying the male characters as pieces of furniture on the screen. The role of the male actor is evolving into multi-dimensional characters where they are able to hold screen space on par with their female counter-parts.

We have rounded up a few of the best bods strutting their stuff on the tube in our prowl for some of the sexiest hunks on television. These may or may not match up to international standards, but if fan mail is to be believed, some of them are definitely sending female hormones into a tizzy!

Let's take a look at the younger generation of guys spread out across the telly. Here is a list of the current batch of hot and happening hunks who are either already playing a main lead or deserve to be the main lead and are making their presence felt even in the female-dominated field with their hunky appeal.

SERIOUSLY HUNK CATEGORY

Shabbir Ahluwalia - Hunk Rating: The Mischievous Tease

His broad shoulders, the bulging pecs, the unshaven look and the sky-high cheekbones make Shabbir Ahluwalia (Rishi from 'Kahiin To Hoga') a naughty fantasy. Smooth, good-looking, and flirty, Shabbir is known for his impish charm and scruffy appeal. Shabbir Ahluwalia has even Ekta Kapoor admitting that he is such a macho "dude." His dark good looks and versatility has allowed him to play charismatic roles which bring spice to the small screen. "Sex on Legs" personified with beautiful innocent eyes and a 'million dollar smile" makes Shabbir a lethal combination making womens' hearts skip a beat and turning their knees to marshmallow Kayamath Se Kayamath Tak.

Rajeev Khandelwal - Hunk Rating: Cootchie-Coo Cutie

Rajeev spun his magnetism as the intense Sujal in 'Kahiin To Hoga' and won millions of hearts as he charmed women on screen and off with his killer good looks and undeniable charm. Rajeev is every inch a celebrity, with his eagerness and perseverance, not to mention his smashing good looks and cute smile. Rajeev is the son every mother wants and the husband every Indian woman desires. And, as most girls will agree, he makes their hearts go, 'Left Right Left.'

Iqbal Khan - Hunk Rating: Stud muffin

Iqbal Khan made his deadly debut as a crooning rock star in Ekta Kapoor's 'Kaisa Yeh Pyaar Hain.' With his muscles rippling like a cornfield, Iqbal is the gallant, hunky knight in shining armour. He's the kind of guy that girls would love to be protected by while his sharp Kashmiri features and sweet demeanor makes most girls go weak in the knees. Iqbal is Indian television's stud and just looking at him flex his muscles as he strums the A-chord on the guitar is enough to make the entire Indian female population go, 'Haan mujhe iqraar hai.'

Eijaz Khan - Hunk Rating: Fantasy Dreamboy

One of the hottest faces on television this handsome and talented actor has appeared in several Balaji serials like Kahi To Hoga, Kkusum, Kkavyanjali and Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka. With his dreamy blue eyes and picture perfect looks, he is every girls' fantasy dreamboy. Delicious and tempting comes to mind when he appears on the small screen and most girls would give their right arm to be another Anita Hassandani.

Karan Patel - Hunk Rating: Heart Throb

Despite his dark lover act, the female species hasn't quit professing its undying devotion to him. Besides his dark brooding characters, what helps him is his rakish Mills and Boons hero act. He has an eye for the ladies and his effortless charm and criminally attractive good looks have made him a favourite on the small screen.

Chetan Hansraj - Hunk Rating: Quintessential Bad Boy

Nobody does shaggy, stubbled sexy as green eyed, Chetan Hansraj (Sasha of Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki). He's the guy every girl's parent asked her to stay away from and therein lays his appeal. Every girl wants to sit on the back of his motorbike and grab his leather jacket. His bad attitude and crooked ways just make the girls want him more. Chetan's the bad guy we love to hate. The chicks just want to cha-cha with Sasha.

CHOCLATE BOYS CATEGORY

Hussain Kunjerwala - Hunk Rating: Indian Poster Boy

Hussain represents the conventional Indian poster boy, the chocolate hero that every girl salivates over while spending sleepless nights gushing and sighing. Hussain might have some serious "hunk" material deep within, but seems to fit more into the "cho- chweet category".

Karnvir Bohra - Hunk Rating: Naughty but Nice

Blessed with both chocolate looks and a cute personality' this guy is out to do some serious damage. His portrayal of the complex character of Prem in Kausatii Zindagi Kay continues to steal the female viewers hearts and minds when he appears on the small screen.

Hiten Tejwani - Choclate Rating: Sweet as Sugar

We hear he stills makes ladies' pulses race when he knits those pensive brows on the small screen. Hiten's characters have always been positive thus accentuating his sweet image. He is the guy you want to take home to meet your mother and the son most mothers would love to have.

Jay Bhanushali - Choclate Rating: The Lost Puppy

Hmmm'. That's the sound women often make when they see Jay. He looks like the lost puppy dog that every girl wants to nurture. It wouldn't be implausible to say that most women would be floored by the strength of his appeal. He is quite the charmer with an impish cute smile to boot.

THE OLD BOYS BRIGADE CATEGORY

Ronit Roy - Old Boys Rating: Sugar Daddy

Who wouldn't want to partner with this sexy business tycoon? If anyone is getting better with age, it's the distinguished Ronit Roy. His flamboyant portrayal of Mr. Bajaj ('Kasautii Zindagi Kii') adds to his mature appeal. Ronit Roy has added another feather to his cap with his with his leaner, meaner look as Aparichit Deb in 'Kasamh Se'. There's a method to his madness and that's what makes this debonair dude, dashing.

Ram Kapoor - Old Boys Rating: Mr. Personality

When you can hold the nations eyeballs onto you in a woman-oriented drama like 'Kasamh Se' you're definitely doing something damn right. Ram Kapoor's intense eyes, commanding voice and authoritative demeanor combined with his delicately rugged looks have helped make him one of the hottest actors on Television. Ram isn't the conventional hunk, but it's his towering persona that makes him so awe-inspiring. Combine that with a sexy stubble, a mature look and the ability to make life and death decisions look easy and you have the perfect recipe for the alternate hunk. Prachi Desai, his co-star of 'Kasamh Se' said, "Ram is the sweetest, most helpful person to work with on the show. But the first time I saw him, I was very nervous." That's the Ram Kapoor effect, kasamh se .

Shabbir Ahluwalia has even Ekta Kapoor admitting that he is such a macho "dude." His dark good looks and versatility has allowed him to play charismatic roles which bring spice to the small screen. "Sex on Legs" personified with beautiful innocent eyes and a 'million dollar smile" makes Shabbir a lethal combination making womens' hearts skip a beat and turning their knees to marshmallow Kayamath Se Kayamath Tak.

Aww all my three hotties made it to the list... Just says that my taste is too good...😳😳😳

Though I do have a few problems with this list ...

Firstly no Harshad Chopra (Prem) 😲... come on yaar, this guy is a shoo in for the chocolate boy category...

Secondly, No Karan Singh Grover ... I'm not the biggest fan of him (my sister loves him to pieces though)... but this guy has the one of the highest fanbases on India-forums.. with a whooping 378 members... also its not for no reason all my friends go gaga over him.. I would surely put him in the "hunk" category....

Thirdly, is this list ranked in order of hotness, because personally speaking I would rank KP higher than Eijaz Khan, IQ would be No. 1 on the list along with Shabbo... and I would not put Karnvir Bohra on the chocolate boys list, his Prem was anything but a chocolate boy!!! 😆 And lastly I would rank Jay higher than Hiten...
