Many users also gave their own choice as to which other actor could be the most handsome in Bollywood. Several users pointed out that Akshay Kumar in his younger days, Arjun Rampal, and John Abraham could definitely vouch for the same spot.

A comment read, “Man there are so many, Shashi Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Vinod Khanna in his prime + Rahul and Akshaye Khanna, John Abraham, Arjun Rampal, Mukul Dev, Keith Sequeira, Jugal Hansraj, ARK, Sid Malhotra, Jimmy Shergill in his prime, Ram Kapoor, Dino Morea, Aashim Gulati, Jas Arora, Randeep Hooda, Akshay Oberoi, Hritik, Rajneesh Duggal, Milind Soman, Vivaan Bhatena, Abhay Deol, Ankur Rathee. And for a lot of them it’s not just their looks but it’s their confidence and personality too.” A user said, “Young Akshaye Khanna is underrated.”

Shashi Kapoor was the youngest brother of Raj Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor. He started out doing romantic films. Soon, he diversified to family dramas like Waqt and Trishul, multi-starrers (Deewar, Suhag, Kaala Patthar) and comedies (Namak Halaal, Chori Mera Kaam, Chor Machaye Shor). He died in a hospital in Mumbai of cirrhosis on December 4, 2017, at the age of 79.
