51 Men In Bollywood That Redefine The Word Macho

A ripped physique, a chiselled jaw line, a fighter spirit and a personality that packs a punch – what is it that makes a man macho? Here are 51 Bollywood men who redefine new age machismo for Indian men, ranked from best to worst! 1.Akshay Kumar Action runs in his blood. His thirst for adventure, his love for stunts and his passion for sports and fitness is simply unmatchable. Akshay kumar is what real men are like. He has stood against all odds and made a big name for himself, and it takes a real man to do that. He is straight-forward, brash and bloody damn proud of who he is. 2.Salman Khan The sole reason why fitness is such a big deal in Bollywood, Salman Khan is a real life hero to millions and millions of fans all over the world. Misunderstood ever so often and yet so strong-headed, not many men possess the kind of unignorable masculinity Salman Khan exhibits. 3.Ajay Devgn The quintessential angry man who wouldn’t take no for an answer, who is ready to stand against the world to fight for what he believes in – Ajay Devgn is macho in every sense of the word. Just in case you forgot, he was one of those few men in Bollywood who pulled off the most daring stunts in films in the 90s 4.Hrithik Roshan His recent recovery from the fatal injury he faced during the filming of ‘Bang Bang’ is one of the bravest, most heroic moments in Bollywood so far. Not just that, this Greek God has one of the best bodies in B-Town, his dancing abilities can put professionals to shame, his charm on women is hypnotic – is there anything this guy can’t do? 5.Randeep Hooda One of the most underrated actors in Bollywood, Randeep Hooda is every bit of a macho man. His personality defines ruggedness. A man who can change tyres, beat up goons and fire bullets like he was born with that talent 6.John Abraham A fitness fanatic and an idol for the Indian youth, John Abraham proved he is a man of steel time and again, not just with his impeccable body but even with his strong performances in films like ‘Madras Café 7.Vidyut Jamwal Let’s just say, it takes only a real man to overshadow a superstar like John Abraham and who is a better example than Vidyut Jamwal? 8.Arjun Kapoor If stubbles are considered the sexiest trait in macho men, Arjun kapoor is the reason. Because of his personality, his carefree taste in clothes and his ripped physique, of course, there is no doubting Arjun Kapoor is one of the most macho men in Bollywood. 9.Ranveer Singh Despite being so crude, his masculinity exudes out of him. He does things his own way, gets away with everything and doesn’t care what people have to say, ‘Like A Boss’. 10.Sanjay Dutt No matter how old this man gets, he will always be considered one of the most macho men in Bollywood for the legacy he has left behind. He has been the definition of manliness for Bollywood since decades! 11.Sonu Sood With those flexed muscles and daredevil streak in his eyes, this man seems tailor fit for negative roles. 12.Arjun Rampal A man of a few words, Arjun Rampal’s aura screams masculinity. Unbelievably good looking, quiet and still intense, this man couldn’t get any better 13.Vijender Singh Now, who gets more macho than a boxer? He’s made India proud time and again by bringing home Olympic medals and we respect this man for that. He’s a true fighter! 14.Shahid Kapoor Just when we think he cannot get more macho than this, Shahid Kapoor surprises us and how. Be it his regular photoshoots or his powerful performances in films like ‘Haider’ and ‘Kaminey’, Shahid Kapoor consistently ups the manliness quotient 15.Fawad Khan Being well-mannered and chivalrous is the most basic of qualities that make men desirable and there isn’t a better example of that than Fawad khan. He is living proof that sophisticated too can be macho 16.Shah Rukh Khan He has always been the quintessential romantic hero in Bollywood, but we must say he has surprised us all with his recent makeover that can put even body builders to shame. It is not just his physique but even the soaring success he has tasted over the years that make him one of the manliest on this list 17.Rana Daggubati In times where most men are just too concerned with the way they look, it is refreshing to see a man being totally himself. Daggubati’s earthy, dishevelled and aggressive appeal is what makes him rank way above so many A-listers! 18.Saif Ali Khan The one and only Nawab of Bollywood, Saif Ali Khan exemplifies manliness with that urbane yet raw demeanour. He may be the typical metrosexual man in his films but every once in a while, he appears in films like ‘Omkara’ and highlights a completely different side to his masculinity. 19.Rannvijay Singh This man started off as the winner of Roadies Season 1 – the show that created a rage amongst the youth of this nation. His stunts in MTV Stuntmania to RannVJRun have earned him immense respect amongst the adrenaline junkies from all around the world 20.Sidharth Malhotra Tough, silent and brooding – Sidharth Malhotra epitomises what women like in a man 21.Varun Dhawan He’s fun, quirky, well built and a natural charmer – just how every young Indian man must be 22.Siddharth Shukla This TV hunk’s ripped physique has gained him enough attention already. One of the latest heartthrobs in Bollywood, Siddharth has successfully bagged the 22nd position on this list as one of the manliest celebrities in Bollywood! 23.Honey Singh The music fraternity may hate him for the songs he makes, but when has he ever expected anyone’s approval? It takes a real man to be such an influential trend setter and there’s no denying that Honey Singh is at the top of his game 24.Sushant Singh Rajput Be it ‘Kai Po Che’ or ‘Shuddh Desi Romance’, Sushant Singh Rajput played the unkempt, messy, scruffy man to the perfection. And from the teaser of his latest film ‘Detective Byomkesh Bakshi’, looks like Sushant Singh Rajput is going to up the manliness quotient even further. 25.Ranbir Kapoor Only Ranbir can switch so effortlessly from the spoilt brat in ‘Wake Up Sid’ to the aggressive and rugged Jordan in ‘Rockstar’ who refuses to conform to conventions. It wouldn’t be long before he surprises us all as the next Indian superhero in an upcoming Ayan Mukherjee film. 26.Aditya Roy Kapur From a ‘cool dude’ to a macho man, Aditya Roy Kapur’s journey has definitely been noteworthy. We really wish to see this guy play the anti-hero in a film soon 27.Farhan Akhtar Thank God for ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’, we saw a whole new side to Farhan Akhtar, and there has been no looking back since then. Not just that, his social campaigns like MARD for women empowerment and equality prove what makes a real man! 28.Tiger Shroff He may be the butt of all jokes on the internet right now, thanks to his baby face, but his body is proof enough that he is one of the toughest guys amongst the newcomers in Bollywood right now 29.Aamir Khan As far as challenges are concerned, Aamir Khan has always taken the big plunge. Be it ‘Ghajini’ or ‘Dhoom 3’, Aamir has impressed us with his applause worthy efforts in transforming himself into a mean machine 30.Milind Soman Men get manlier with age and Milind Soman is solid proof to that. He is the epitome of masculinity 31.Emraan Hashmi A man who has not only evolved as an actor but even as a man, Emraan Hashmi’s intensity and choice of films is what brings him to number 30 32.Anil Kapoor Bratty, untamed and definitely a hit amongst women, Anil Kapoor is one of those few men who can give the youngest men a run for their money even at this age 33.Nikitin Dheer He has appeared in a selected few films but every time he has appeared as Thangaballi (Chennai Express) or a Sharifuddin Hussain (Jodhaa Akbar), he’s only proven how macho he is 34.Manoj Bajpai This man defines power. He has no six-pack abs or sixteen-inch biceps, but he has conviction and authority in his eyes that can make the world bow down in front of him 35.Suraj Pancholi It is time before he proves his worth in Bollywood, but from the looks of his debut film ‘Hero’, he does look like another macho man in the making. 36.Kay Kay Menon With every role he takes up, he takes manliness to a higher level. He really is a man of substance 37.Rahul Bose A national level rugby player, a regular at all famous marathons, an age defying body—there are plenty of reasons why he’s on this list 38.Parambrata Chatterjee Ever since he featured in ‘Kahaani’, his image as the macho policeman who fought against all odds got etched in our minds! 39.Raghu Ram Love him or hate him – he doesn’t give a damn. He speaks his mind and has a strong personality that just cannot go unnoticed. He’s the man the youth actually fears 40.Arunoday Singh One look at this man and you know there’s no messing with this one 41.Irrfan Khan He may not have an envious body and may not even be as young as most others on his list, but he’s someone who can make men tremble just with a death stare 42.Vivek Oberoi Unconventional looks, powerful performances and some great action sequences to his credit, Vivek Oberoi cannot go unnoticed on this list 43.Abhay Deol Gone are the days when brawn solely equalled machismo. Abhay Deol takes forward the Deol legacy of manliness and gives it a whole new definition with his suave yet assertive personality 44.Ali Zafar Doing away with that well-spoken, gentleman personality, Ali Zafar is finally seen venturing out of his comfort zone and doing an action film ‘Kill Dill’ and it is a fairly pleasant surprise 45.Nikhil Chinapa This man follows his passion for music and anchoring like nobody else. There have been so many VJs who’ve ventured into anything and everything just to taste commercial success, but this man believes in doing his own thing 46.Mohit Marwah His rowdy act in ‘Fugly’ definitely showed some promise. Here’s hoping he gets more such opportunities 47.Shiv Pandit He may be just a few films old in Bollywood, but with his fight sequences in ‘Boss’ and his bad boy performance in ‘Shaitaan’, he made his way into the league of most macho men in India 48.Neil Nitin Mukesh After watching his performance in films like ‘David’ and ‘7 Khoon Maaf’, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that there isn’t another Indian man who can carry off that blonde beard better than Neil Nitin Mukesh. 49.Kunal Khemu He may not be the most successful star, but his well-built physique 50.Abhishek Bachchan There was a time when his raw appeal had him voted as one of the sexiest men in Bollywood but it is long gone now. From his choice in movies to his dressing sense to his fitness level to that jarring paunch, his manliness quotient has sky rocketed down and how! 51.Imran Khan Time and again, Imran Khan has tried to ‘experiment’ with his roles, but neither the stubble nor the villainous role in ‘Kidnap’ have helped him shed even an iota of that teenager image. He has a long way to go before he climbs up even a step on this list. For now, we say adieu with him on the last spot!
