5 rom-com heroes who steal our hearts this Valentine’s Day

Arjun Kapoor in 2 States (2014)

As Krish, Arjun Kapoor plays the perfect boyfriend—sincere, supportive, and willing to go to any lengths to win over his girlfriend’s strict South Indian family. His understated charm and emotional depth make him the guy you’d want on your side in a family showdown. Plus, his chemistry with Alia Bhatt is effortlessly natural!

Imran Khan in Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na (2008)

Imran Khan’s Jai is the ultimate boy-next-door—sweet, funny, and completely oblivious to his own feelings.

His easy-going charm and playful energy make him one of Bollywood’s most beloved rom-com leads.

Ranbir Kapoor in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013)

Carefree, ambitious, and full of life, Ranbir as Bunny brings an irresistible charm to Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. While he’s a little too focused on chasing his dreams at first, his eventual realization about love and friendships makes for a swoon-worthy arc.

Shahid Kapoor in Jab We Met (2007)

Shahid Kapoor’s Aditya Kashyap is the silent, brooding type who undergoes a major transformation thanks to Kareena Kapoor’s energetic Geet. From a heartbroken businessman to someone who learns to embrace life again, his understated intensity makes him an unforgettable rom-com hero. Bonus points for his killer smile, and heartfelt performance!

Sidharth Malhotra in Hasee Toh Phasee (2014)
