One of the biggest hassles involving Bollywood bachelors relate to their walking in and out of virtual marriages, secret marriages and rumored marriages. Nevertheless, Bollywood has its share of confirmed bachelors who seldom miss a date yet remaining single all their life. Of course, these are real heroes whom their ladyloves hate to see in the role of husband as they themselves had missed the bus during their prime time. Nevertheless, there are exceptions where the hurt hero gulps his own sorrow, yet showing little disrespect to women with whom he once happened to be in love.
1. Salman Khan
Take, for instance, the case of Salman Khan, Bollywood Hero Numero Uno who is said to be the heartthrob of numerous females, starting from Mumbai super models to most sought after Bollywood actresses. However, looking at his filmy career chronologically we may find Salman plunging into Bollywood with the 1988 film Biwi Ho To Aisa, playing a supporting role. The actor’s first lead role in Sooraj R. Barjatiya’s Bollywood romance Maine Pyar Kiiya (1989) won him the Filmfare Best Male Debut Aard and a nomination for Filmfare Best Actor award, while the film itself was considered the biggest hit of the year. Of course, it also helped established his status in the Mumbai film industry. Hoiwever, Salman received international acclaim through the movie Phir Mileng (2004) where he played the role of an AIDs patient, an issue greatly appreciated by WHO. But in spite of Salman’s being romantically linked with quite a few actresses and having relationship with ex-girlfriends Somy Ali, Sangeeta Bij;lani and Aisharya Rai, Salman is perpetually portrayed by the Indian media as Bollywood’s most eligible bachelor.
2. Karan Johar
The next in line in the list of 5 most eligible bachelors of Bollywood, we have illustrious young bachelor Karan Johar who had given us a handful of blockbuster movies during the recent past. In 1998, Karan directed a moving love story Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mookherjee. This was followed by Kabhi khushi Kabhi Gham, starring Amitabh-Jaya Bachchan, Sah Rukh-Kajol, Hritik Roshan-Kareena Kapoor. An entertaining comedy about children and their parents, it drew praise from all quarters and was a super hit.
3. Ranbir Kapoor
Next in line as one of the 5 eligible bachelors of Bollywood, we have charming Ranbir Kapoor who surely is living up to the Kapoor legend. His lively performance in Ajab Prem Hi Ghazab Kahan and Rocket Singh seem to have hit the right note, bringing him all the accolade. Being the son of actor Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh, grandson of legendary Raj Kapoor and great grandson of famed Prithviraj Kapoor who first introduced cinematographic faculty in the family way back in the thirties, Ranbir will prove his talents in not too distant future.4. Neil Nitin Mukesh
As our next most celebrated bachelor roaming the woods of Bollywood, we have Neil Nitin Mukesh with his milky skin tone and trimmed stubble. Being the grandson of the great singer Mukesh and son of Nitin Mukesh whose famous lines in the film song So Gaye Ye Jahan from Tezaab were simply great would sure take Neil to greater heights. Neil Nitin Mukesh first appeared as a felon in Johnny Gaddar in 1997and was given due appreciation for hid role in the film, even though the film itself did not see much of box office success. However, his upcoming roles are quite encouraging and unless he gets himself much too obsessed with success, Nitin Mukesh is going to shine through.5. Shahid Kapoor
And our last but not of least significance is one of the 5 most eligible Bollywood bachelors, we have none other than young and handsome Shahid Kapoor. The actor started his career with the romantic movie Ishq Vishk Pyaar Vyaar. The cine idol had a romantic relation with the gorgeous actress Kareena Kapoor in the past. However, the love didn’t last for long. Shahid Kapoor is single and happy to mingle now.
