Meet TV's hottest hunks

Eijaz Khan

A model-turned actor, Eijaz Khan shot to fame with Kkavyanajali. The television hunk who has done several serials is popular among the youth and females for his six-pack abs and sweet smile. Currently, he is seen in Punarvivah 2 as a widower and a father of a child, who gets married to the protagonist Sarita (Shristi Rode). Shown to be a man of his words he fights for his wife’s rights and is her staunch supporter. He may not be a romantic in the serial but the bond that he shares with his six-year-old onscreen son Abhiman (Eklavya Ahir) has the girls sighing over him. A ladies’ man he’s had his share of girlfriends, and is currently dating singer Natalie Di Luccio.

Gurmeet Choudhary

Whether it was Geet Hui Sabse Parayi where he co-starred with Drashti Dhami or Punarvivah 1, which had Kratika Sengar opposite him, Gurmeet shared a sizzling chemistry with both the actresses. Geet... had him playing an arrogant businessman reluctantly falling in love with the girl.

His scruffy stubble, intense looks and well-toned body — he even went shirtless for a scene — had girls going crazy for him. Punarvivah 1 saw him in a subdued avatar, gradually getting attracted to his wife, and even this was lapped up by his female fans. His marriage to his Ramayan co-star Debina hasn’t dimmed his rugged appeal! Now he will be seen scorching the screen with her in Nach Baliye 6.

Iqbal Khan

He was missing from the small-screen for over a year, but that hardly stopped Iqbal Khan from being in the news. He is one actor who has grabbed headlines more for the shows he’s turned down than the ones he did. The tall and handsome actor with deep baritone broke into the TV scene as a rockstar in Kaisa Ye Pyaar Hai and since then has been a hot favourite among the fairer sex. Known to be choosy about his work, the light-eyed actor is back with Tumhari Paakhi, a tumultuous love story. He made a dashing entry rappelling down a mountain that showed off his muscles.

Gautam Rode

His entry in Saraswatichandra was quite sensational — bare torso in waist-deep water. It showcased his perfect physique. Add to it, his portrayal as the silent, sensitive lover, who conveys a lot through his eyes — it had the girls swooning over him. For his birthday this year, the channel that airs the show was flooded with several marriage proposals for Gautam! Interestingly, the gifts he received were all related to his gym-toned body — from green tea, energy bars to track pants — apt for a man who spends one-and-a-half hour everyday pumping iron.

Mohit Raina

He has earned the moniker of being the sexiest god on television. With his ripped body and chiselled features, Mohit’s Shiva in Devon Ke Dev Mahadev changed the way people looked at TV gods.  The perfect Mahadev, he made an appearance as the Lord even in the mythological serial Mahabharat! This tellygod has a female fan following that cuts across age groups, and several believe he is the ‘real’ incarnate! Speculation is rife that Mohit is seeing his Sati — Mouni Roy who played the role in the serial — but he insists he is single and has no time to mingle!

Karan Singh Grover

A die-hard fan of Salman Khan, Karan is a fitness freak. Taking inspiration from his idol, the teen heart throb is heavily into body building. He had bared his muscular body in Dill Mill Gaye and left the girls wanting for more. Now, as the anguished lover Asad in Qubool Hai, Karan is stealing hearts with his intense eyes and crackling chemistry with co-star Surbhi Jyoti. Whether it was the fun-loving, flirty Armaan Malik of Dill Mill Gaye, or the mature and responsible Asad, Karan has the girls eating out of his palm. The actor is married to Jennifer Winget but that hasn’t dented his female fan following.

Siddharth Shukla

Tall, dark with an athletic build, Siddharth Shukla as the spohisticated Shiv in Balika Vadhu has his female fans going weak in the knees. He gave a tantalising glimpse of his body when in a white transparent shirt with buttons open he tried to save his love Anandi from drowning. His dancing skills in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa prompted judge Karan Johar to say that he had the makings of a Bollywood hero.    

Vivian Dsena

As the rude and arrogant superstar RK with tons of attitude in Madhubala, Vivian Dsena should have evoked hatred but he has done the exact opposite, thanks to his good looks. Not surprisingly, girls have the hots for this charismatic actor. His way of expressing love to Madhu is offhanded and coarse but it only seems to have added to his sex-appeal. In his earlier serial Pyaar Ki Ye Ek Kahaani, he had played a dishy vampire. He is yet to play a full-fledged lover boy but that doesn’t seem to matter to girls who hang around the sets vying for his attention and clicking a picture with him!

Other emerging hotties

Ruslaan Mumtaz

He may have a dream body but his cuteness quotient is higher. Nevertheless, the makers of Jee Le Zara are trying their best to ‘exploit’ him by getting him to shed his shirt every chance they get! He recently displayed his fab body in a towel a la Ranbir Kapoor (Saawariya).  He is a combination of hot and sweet!

Gaurav Choudhary

He has been on telly for some time with serials like Sapnon Ki Bhanwar Mein but it is as the dapper NRI in Bani–Ishq Da Kalma that Gaurav is getting noticed. It was his clean-cut international looks that got him the role in the first place. Having been a Gladrags Manhunt finalist, Gaurav is waiting for a chance to show off his muscular body.  Meanwhile, he has been wooing Bani with his sensitivity only to cheat on her!
