No Shahrukh! He would skew the results. Instead, I am putting a bunch of non-SRKs up against each other in a series of matched pairs. Good news is, you don’t need to have heard of any of these people before!!!!! Just look at the photos and make a snap judgement. Like picking out a bride.
Not acting ability, personality, personal life, any of that. Just pure sex appeal, who do you prefer?
Arjun K
Or Arjun R?
Sid M
Or Southern Sid?
Harsh Kapoor
Or Harsh Rane?
Aditya Roy Kapoor
Or Shahid Kapoor?
Ranveer Singh
Or Ranbir Kapoor?
Varun Dhawan
Or Vicky Kaushal?
And finally, the grand finale hardest choice of all:
Young Shashi Kapoor
Versus Older Chubby Shashi
(no, you can’t pick 35-45 Shashi, that is clearly the best choice which is why I am removing it. You gotta go 22 or 52, no in between)
My choices, purely based on sex appeal:
Arjun R.
Sid M
Harsh K
ARK
Ranbir
Varun
Old Shashi
Overall winner….Sid M! I’m shallow.

Okay…if I see “sexy” as desirable, inviting and intriguing, the choices are easy for me: Arjun Rampal, Sid Malhotra, Harshvardhan Rane, Shahid, Varun and Ranveer. As for Shashi, I don’t find him sexy but attractive – young and old.

Yes! I purposefully didn’t just do shirtless photos. I went for photos where they are looking at the camera, so you can think about how they would be.

Really? Southern Sid? Sid M seems so much sexier to me.
I tried very hard to be fair with the photos in order to make this an even battle. For instance, I gave Varun his super sexy pose, and Vicky a not so sexy, so they would meet in the middle. Ditto Ranveer/Ranbir.

My choices based purely on those pics are :-
Arjun R – Nothing beats Arjun on a still pic. The man knows how to pose.
Sid M – He’s just so pretty.
Harsh K – No idea who this is but he’s cuter than the other guy.
ARK – No choice. I’ve been turned off SK since Kabir Singh.
Ranbir – Wins but only because I had to make a choice.
Vicky K – He’ll always be cuter than VD.
Old Shashi – Tough choice but knowing twinkle in his eyes wins out. And yeah, 35-45 Shashi would’ve been no choice at all. He’d have beaten them all, no sweat.

Yep, older Shashi! We had a discussion in the comments once about how what makes Shashi so sexy is that he only loves one woman, but tragically that is also what makes him impossible for other women to enjoy. Technically older Shashi was single, but you know he is still super off limits to the women of the world. Such a waste!!!!

I just did a bit of research – turns out Karan, the hot Bombay Dyeing model lives in London and is a photographer. But the other son Kunal lives in Mumbai and is a ad film-maker. His son, Zahan Prithviraj Kapoor(cool name) is the theatre actor.

Oh cool! I think Kunal is acting a little too? Someone is anyway, because I’ve seen a Shashi son playing a father in some movies.
Probably shouldn’t start an elaborate plan to go to Bombay, find the play Zahan is in, casually wait outside the dressing rooms, and then seduce him, right?

I’m immensely grateful to have found people here who appreciate Shashi – my favourite after my Raj Kapoor phase (in my mind I fondly call him with his birth name…Balbir…especially the older one…I think it was a good choice: Shashi for the cute & sexy one and Balbir for the older one – simply because of the sound…that’s why I chose both).

Okay. Arjun K, Sid M., Harsh K (despite being so boring), Shahid, Ranveer, Vicky, I hate you Margaret I cannot choose between Shashis. I guess young Shashi because even though old fat Shashi had a weird erotic appeal he didn’t have when he was thinner, I just feel bad for him and his grief.

Excellent Shashi reasoning. But young Shashi means he is already married to Jennifer and in love. Really if you are trying to get single and free Shashi, you have to go for Not Yet Legal Shashi, and no one wants him.

Harsh R. Forever!

I agree on southern Sid in Leila. If you like your men on the bony-skinny side, he’s about as hot as they come, esp in Indian film. And I’ve rarely seen such high sculpted cheekbones on any man as he’s got in Leila. The photo above isn’t doing justice to his singular beauty, especially the way he’s aging like fine wine.

Sexiness is first and foremost in the eyes and in how a man uses his eyes. You understand this because just about every photo you posted in a post about Male sexiness is sans eyewear. And yet you put ranveer behind the darkest thickest sunglasses possible? Is he so scorching hot that he needs handicapping? Interesting that hiding his eyes brings out his male-model-perfection – his facial bone structure, his physique, his musculature being the right level of sculpted (not cut, not steroidal, but well toned and defined).
Otoh Ranbir looks like the chaperone to all the others. He’s wearing entirely too many clothes. The others are showing some skin. Even young shashi is showing forearm. Plus his complexion looks like he needs some sun.
That’s the worst photo of ARK I’ve ever seen. How did they make such a beautiful man look so awful?
Purely judging the photos for sexiness

Overall sexiest body… Ranveer

I think you are right! I did subconsciously handicap Ranveer! I knew I had to put him up against Ranbir, and I wanted to be fair. Same reason Ranbir is so fully dressed, personally I find his body very off-putting somehow, so I like him fully clothed.
