Bollywood has seen many beautiful women with the peaches and cream complexion and hazel eyes, however there are a handful of men who are blessed with the perfect chocolate looks with light eyes and fair skin.
And amongst the handful few, there are just a couple of them who have ruled the box office.
Indiatimes Movies lists down some of the delicious men.
"The showman" as he was fondly called, Raj Kapoor was the original blue eyed boy of Bollywood. He started off young, at the tender age of 11 years and at the raw age of 24 he established his own studio, R. K. Films, and became the youngest film director of his time.
The Kapoors are referred to the "first family of Bollywood" for their tremendous contribution to Indian cinema.
The Kapoor empire set up by Raj Kapoor is now looked after by his sons and grandsons. Raj Kapoor who was also nicknamed as the Charlie Chaplin of Indian cinema, is by far the most successful light eyed boy of Bollywood.

Shammi Kapoor or the Yahoo! Boy, was the next big thing in Bollywood as far as the light eyed men were concerned. Being from the Kapoor clan, it seemed like Shammi just carried the legacy of fair and handsome men of the Kapoor Khandan a bit further.
Shammi who was well known for his dance was quiet a hit with women in his peak days and had a prosperous career.
Even till date Shammi makes his presence felt with the chola and mala look.
Being Raj Kapoor's son did help Randhir's career to an extent but this fair and light eyed boy of the Kapoor clan could not make it big in Bollywood. Randhir did a handful of films in his career and was an average at the box office. Jawani Diwani and Rampur ka Laxman were his two solo hits as an actor, and he starred in quiet a few multi starrer box office hits.
He then turned director and was also nominated for the best director category for his film Henna.
But he earned maximum brownie points to give Hindi cinema two top actresses of their time Lolo and Bebo, his daughters Karisma and Kareena Kapoor.
Born to legendary music director Roshan, fair and good looking Rakesh Roshan started his career as an actor in the 1970s and has acted in over 70 films. Shammi who was well known for his dance was quiet a hit with women in his peak days and had a prosperous career.

Rakesh has done a string of films based on family melodrama and has a few hits to his credit. His most sought after work include Khatta Meetha, Paraya Dhan, Khoobsoorat, Kaamchor, Bhagwan Dada and the likes.
Though Rakesh did not have a flourishing career as the "it boy" his son Hrithik made up for it and went on to become a rage not only throughout India but worldwide. Rakesh Roshan who is well known for his fixation with the letter "K" is now busy directing movies for Hrithik these days.
With only half a dozen films to his credit Karan Kapoor, son of legend Shashi Kapoor never seemed to make it big into Bollywood.
However Karan is till date remembered for his modeling stint and is known as the face of famous brand Bombay Dyeing.
Karan was by far the most handsome Kapoor of the Kapoor Khandaan, however he could not make it big in Bollywood due to lack of acting skills and dialogue delivery.
Aditya Pancholi ventured into Bollywood in the late 70's and has almost 75 films to his credit. Aditya initially started off his career as a solo hero but didn't get the box office cash register ringing.
Aditya put his good looks to best use by experimenting with negative roles and character roles thus surviving in Bollywood.
However, Aditya knows how to make it to the headlines, not for his performances, but for his off screen link ups.

Jugal Hansraj started his career as a child artist in the 1983 film Masoom and continued his career as a child artist in several films like Karma and Sultanat. His first film as a young and handsome boy was Aa Gale Lag Jaa in 1994, where he was paired with Urmila Matondkar who incidentally played his sister in his first film Masoom.
With just another solo film to his credit, Papa Kehte Hain, Jugal's career never took off as an actor. He graduated to multi starrer movies and seems to have been adopted by Yashraj Banners.
Even after failing in multi starrer films he will soon direct an animated film produced by Yashraj Films and Walt Disney
Shiney Ahuja started his career as a model and was a recognized theatre artiste before he made his debut in the critically acclaimed Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi in the year 2005.
He won the Filmfare best male debut award for his performance. There was no looking back since then, he slowly ventured into mainstream cinema and has done meaningful roles in several movies.
Being drop dead gorgeous, fair and handsome, Shiney is known for his intense facial expressions and his acting skills rather than his looks.

Hrithik Roshan, this name does not need an introduction. This fair and handsome light eyed man is often referred to as a Greek god and is probably a more runaway success than the first blue eyed boy of Bollywood Raj Kapoor.
He is a household name today and is not only a hit with women but with his superhero series he is the kiddies favorite too. Roshan, who began his career as a child actor in a few films in the 1980s, made his film debut as a leading actor with the blockbuster Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai in 2000. The film earned him two awards for Best Actor and Best Male Debut at the Filmfare.
Hrithik is now in the league of superstars of Bollywood and is known for his dancing skills and is also a style icon and indeed the hottest light eyed man Bollywood has ever produced.

Neil Nitin Mukesh, son of singer Nitin Mukesh and grandson of legendary singer Mukesh, could easily pass off as a younger and cuter version of Hrithik Roshan.
Neil made an entry into Bollywood in 2007 with Johnny Gaddar in a negative role and also went on to win the Filmfare Best Newcomer award for the same.
With looks to die for and the milky white complexion and light eyes, Neil could have chosen the easy way out by making his debut as a romantic hero but he chose to appear in a meaningful role and his next shot is a yet another hard hitting flick, Jail, directed by Madhur Bhandarkar.

The latest entry into the category is none other than Aamir Khan's good looking nephew Imran Khan, who made his debut with Jaane Tu … Ya Jaane Na. Imran is an instant hit with the women and has his acting skills in place as well.
His debut movie has done very well at the box office and now only time would tell if he is going to make it to the list of the few top notch light eyes fair men of Bollywood.
