Is it the rippling muscles? Is it the tattoos? Is it the mischievous eyes? Whatever it is, girls just can't get enough of Karan Singh Grover. Call him hunk, call him cool dude, but there's no denying the effect that the 27-year-old actor has on women — and girls — everywhere. Whether it is the romantic Dr Armaan Malik in Dill Mill Gayye or the effortless dancer in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, all eyes are on Karan. Even marriage to television actress Shraddha Nigaam last year hasn't diminished the Punjab da puttar's popularity. Plus, he is probably the only man on television brave enough to model jewellery — and come out looking like a million bucks!
