Top 20 Hottest Indian Television Actors

With three times more turnover than the film industry, the television industry is a lot more diverse, with a lot more stories and a lot more actors. These are actors who work hard not just on their work in order to succeed, but also on their bodies, trying their best to achieve optimum levels of fitness so they can become capable of becoming the dream men of the many people who watch them on their television screens. Some of these actors are so good looking; it is hard to believe that they are for real. Earlier the male actors did not have much screen space on daily soaps and most of them just stood and watched as the actresses did all the work. Now the actors are also equally involved and have equally major parts to play in the stories, so the producers choose actors who are all the more talented, handsome and impressive.

1. Mohit-Raina

The man who changed the way Shiva is portrayed on television with his bulky form and optimum level of fitness; all of us know atleast 5 people who saw ‘Devon Ke Dev - Mahadev’ just for him. The actor is currently playing the grown up version of Ashoka in ‘Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat’ and he still managed to turn our eyes into heart emoticons. His girlfriend, his co-star from his previous show, Mouni Roy, is just as hot.

2. Vivian Dsena

The actor rose to prominence when he played a vampire in ‘Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani’ opposite Sukriti Khandelwal. Then he played a superstar in ‘Madhubala – Ek Ishq Ek Junoon’ opposite Drashti Dhami.

3. Kunal Karan Kapoor

The actor is best known for his role of Mohan for ‘Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha Season 1’, where he plays a journalist who falls for a single mother, and then helps her with her journey in life and in getting justice for her dead husband.

4. Rithvik Dhanjani

Many people know him from his ‘Pavitra Rishta’ days, but let us not forget that he also appeared as a werewolf in Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani, which raised him to fame.

He has hosted India’s Got Talent too, and his fans are always eager to see more of him.

6. Gurmeet-Choudhary

It is so great to see how far he has come from the days when he used to play Ram in NDTV Imagine’s ‘Ramayana’ with his wife Debina Bonnerjee as Sita. He was wonderful then, but with shows like ‘Geet Hui Sabse Parayi’, he has traveled long and worked hard, even having done a movie in the process.

7. Harshad Chopra

The actor is a personal favourite, with his dreamy eyes and messy hair. His last show, ‘Humsafars’, was a show his faithful fans saw until the very end and have been waiting for his next project to come on their television screens ever since. He will soon be seen with Sanaya Irani, another fan favourite, on their upcoming show ‘Meenu Mausi’.

8. Gautam Rode

The actor has had six pack abs for as long as he has been on screen. Leaving behind all his previous performance, he rocked our screens with Jennifer Winget in ‘Saraswatichandra’ and his sometimes brooding, sometimes loving and sometimes tortured role, as the lead was loved worldwide even by his international fans.

13. Kunal Jaisingh

The actor would not have made it to this list in his ‘Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya Season 1’ days. But now, as a bulked up Oberoi brother in ‘Ishqbaaz’, it is not possible to think of anyone more suitable for the role than him.

He is now seen as the brutal businessman Shivaay Singh Oberoi, which is rising in popularity by the day.

15. Vikram Singh Chauhan

Having previously worked on shows like Ek Hasina Thi, ‘Million Dollar Girl’ and ‘Qubool Hai’, his true break came in the form of the show ‘Jaana Na Dil Se Door’, where he plays the male lead. His demanding person, and his character of a man who respects all the women in his life is the reason why the show is going places. He is also a huge fitness freak.

16. Mishkat Varma

The chocolate boy has perhaps the cutest smile in all of television industry.

17. Kushal Tandon

After his role in ‘Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai’, the actor may have been surrounded in controversy due to his Nach Baliye tactics, but then he appeared in ‘Bigg Boss Season 7’, and wooed everyone while he was wooing his then girlfriend Gauhar Khan.
