dangermousieOK, I have to admit. I have a Bolly guilty pleasure. His name is Zayed Khan.
Tell Bolly fans that you love Shahrukh, Hrithik, Salman, Abhishek, they are unlikely to react with a start of surprise. Mention Zayed, and the reaction is either "who?" or "why on earth?" Yet, I think Zayed Khan is hot and charming.
Having a thing for Zayed makes me quite a rarity, if the Bolly board I belong to is any example. It's not that he has tons of haters, it's just nobody seems to care one way or another. But I think he is quite hot, though unlikely to make either John Abraham or Arjun Rampal relinquish "the best looking man in BW" tag, and he is a decent actor, though I doubt he'll make SRK tremble or Big B cower in dismay.
It was like at first sight when he appeared on the screen of the delightful Main Hoon Na, ratty long hair, tattered clothes, and a cocky grin, and burst into the first musical number of the movie. He played a rebellious but good at heart younger brother of Shahrukh Khan and I adored him. I knew guys like that in college. Then I saw him in Vaada. He was dreadfully cute if you got over the fact that he was a psycho that basically hounded the poor heroine to death. And my love was completed when I saw Dus the other day, where he played a goofy bomb expert angstily in love with Dia Mirza.
Here's the pictorial proof I am not wholly insane. Or maybe that I am:
See, he's buff:
And can do a broody romantic pose in black sexy shirts (why would Ash in Shabd ditch him for Sanjay Dutt makes no sense to me):
And feeds my oral fixation:
And has a lovely smile:
And he flirts with Ash:
And has stubble:
He has a cute wave:
And sometimes wears no shirt at all:
Or sticks his tongue out:
Has a penchant for cars:
And doesn't mind posing for sexy pictures:
Or wearing funny hats and makeup:
Or grinning up at women:
Even if he decided to be a cannibal and munch of Kareena Kapoor:
He has the good taste to hug Abhishek Bachchan:
And make Ash laugh:
Has loooong legs:
Which he uses :D
And killer sunglasses:
And hair gel that is unthreatened by water:
Even if he splashes himself:
And people make nice sigs of him:
And can be a good psycho (all right, all right, I am reaching):
