All these threads made of who is the most handsome man in Bollywood.
Is x, y, z actor handsome?

The most attractive actors who have modelesque looks are not even the most popular or given much promotion or films as leads.

Many factors come into play.

Do they relate well to the audience. Is their fan base large enough to hype them. Lot of average looking actors hyped for their looks because they have loyal fanbases. Salman Khan being one.

Also there are great looking actors who can act who are not even given a chance. Someone with family in the industry. Sub par acting /looks will get more big banner projects. Arjun Kapoor

I would say it is similar for women. Some actresses are hyped for their looks when they are really not all that great compared to lesser known actresses.

i have a hypothesis :

1.too good looking men or women are too much envied so
are not so popular with the unfortunate looking audience.

2.avg looking men n women are adored n worshiped more
as the unfortunate looking audience can relate with
these people more ..they can find solace that they are not so
bad looking after all so how can they hate themselves by
hating the mediocre?

Good looks don't guarantee fandom. They only guarantee good wank for someone else. You need to have charm, luck and talent to succeed.

Good looks guarantee fandom on internet for sure and maybe on TV shows.
The moment people have to spend money, they back off .

very true...

being popular according to some magazine or ranking poll/website or having good number of instagram , twitter followers, crazy fans doesnt make a person successful.

good karma is definitely a need which brings the luck factor. How much one may dislike himesh reshammiya for his acting,,,but he has a good small place among the biggies..
Good karma of past life, this life.

@bold- 🤣


IMO, this applies to good-looking men but not good-looking women.

The male audience calls the shots so they welcome good-looking women like DP, Kat, Madhuri, Sridevi etc but for the most part reject the model men 'cause they don't identify with them.

see them as their threat 😆
n women hate those women whom they fear are likable by their boys..

Girls are so great, they like Deepika Aishwarya etc even when it's clear that bollywood is sexist that only supplies goodlooking girls and not goodlooking men. Men should stop being so petty that they don't watch a movie with a goodlooking man, why should boys have all the fun? I feel bad for girls who suffer through bad looking actors while actresses are required to look pretty. Such double standards and men get the real deal - pretty and talented actresses while girls get average and talented men. lol. Such a shame. Reason why I like hollywood now there are as many goodlooking men there as there are goodlooking women! It caters to both men and women audience 😳
