People Magazine is just so smart. Their “Sexiest Man Alive” issue concept is brilliant, and releasing it right before SUPER STRESSFUL Thanksgiving is extra brilliant. Anyway, I am borrowing their idea 🙂
I’m not taking SRK off the table, but I am saying that if you pick SRK, you have to pick a second choice too. Just to make it harder! You can pick as many choices as you want, but you have to rank them! And hopefully by American Thanksgiving, we will have a top 5. I have faith in us!
Some suggestions:
SRK
Sid M
Amitabh Bachchan
Maddy
Jackie Shroff
Harsh Kapoor
Aditya Roy Kapur
John Abraham
Oh, and it is THIS YEAR. So no fair saying “young Amitabh” or “Shashi”. Only folks as they are today.
My choices:
- Shahrukh Khan
- Madhavan
- Sid M.

I agree with your top two but I would drop Sid M and add Rana.

Oh, this is easy. Since you said, South Asian, I am going with the following:
1. FAWAD!!! He wins by a long shot. Anyone that doesn’t think he is the sexiest man alive, is just wrong in my humble opinion. 😉
2. Amitabh. He’s still got it.
3. Sid M/ARK. They can share 3rd place.

1. Team Fawad!
2. ARK – every time I watch a new movie of his it hits me all over again, Ludo most recently
3. Vicky Kaushal – go Kat!
Honorable mention: Harshvardan Rane for his scenes in Haseen Dilruba.
Kind of surprised we have no Hrithik stans.
SRK can rejoin the list when he releases a new film, but not this year. Shahid is in the same category for me, one new movie in the right role could put him over the top.

Oh, I am a Hrithik fan and he is definitely so pretty and I enjoy him shirtless in many movies. But somehow, I don’t think of him as Sexiest Man Alive material because to me, sexy is so much more than just a pretty face and body. Does that make sense? I will oogle at Hrithik all day long, but when I think of sexy, someone like Fawad immediately pops up. He is handsome, intelligent, well spoken, loves her wife, and also someone who I imagine would just come and talk to you without any airs. Just all around so so sexy.

Excellent point on SRK! It’s like Harrison Ford, he only qualifies the years he comes out of retirement.
Ooo, first vote for the other Harsh!
Which reminds me, just to throw in a bombshell here and change the game, Vikrant Massay?

This is kinda depressing because I realized that the last person I found sexy in the industry was Fawad, and it’s been like five years since then. So if I leave SRK out, there’s only Fawad.

Difficult question. Which Fawad is this? Do I know him? Help me I’ve forgotten.
I guess a top three for me of people even marginally acceptable to others would be ARK, Jim Sarbh, Maddy. Though personally obviously Govinda is my perennial favourite. Those pictures of him driving with his tits out were really great.

He was Anushka’s complicated husband in ADHM and the buttoned up older brother in Kapoor and Sons. Those were probably his best movie performances, though Khoobsurat is fun too. Better known for two of the biggest Pakistani series, Humsafar and Zindagi Gulzar Hai.

I’ve always had a thing for older, intelligent men who know what they are doing so for me SRK Maddy are extremly sexy.
Harsh Kapoor, ARK, Sid M. are hot but not sexy. But southern Sid – very sexy. Dhanush – very sexy. Arjun Kapoor – sexy.
My list:
1. Maddy
2. SRK
3. Siddharth
4. Arjun Kapoor
5. Dhanush
6. Satyadev
7. Vikrant Massey (I agree with Popka that he is more a marriage material but so sexy, especially when he speaks his mind)
8. Unni Mukundan
9. Arun Vijay
