I was just watching this song and Aftab's smile


He was easily THE chocolate boy/heartthrob of the early 2000s. I used to have a crush on him in 2001 when Kasoor released, as well as Koi Mere Dil Se Pooche.


I always wondered why he never made it big. He definitely had all the pre-requisite qualities for success. Looks, charm, a killer smile, even decent acting skills.


I know a lot of my classmates had crushes on him as wellšŸ˜‰ One girl used to cut out all his pictures from magazines and post them on her wall, so when we went to her house for birthday parties we would always be greeted by those lifesize cut-outsšŸ˜†


Aftab's current IG is filled with delectable pics of him as wellā¤ļø

He had perfect chocolate boy looks but just like Jugal Hansraj only cute looks but very average acting and in some films he was annoying..all the songs of his movies were good though and he was really handsome in Kasoor movie Songs

Man I had the biggest crush on him back in the days. It was as if he was the cutest man that existed on earth. Mast, Kasoor, boring movie with Isha I don't remember the name of, boring movie with Ameesha I don't know the name of, Pyar Ishq aur Mohabbat where he clearly should've gotten the girl, movie with Gracie Singh I don't remember the name of but the song was great, Masti, Awara pagal deewana...I loved him through all those movies. Eventually I stopped caring about how pretty he looked. He was a bad actor and he didn't eventually hit gold like other great looking bad actors of his day Arjun Rampal and John Abraham. He did bad acting in bad movies so he never made it big. You have to either mix bad acting with good movies, or good acting with bad movies. Both can't suck.
