The concept of beauty and handsomeness extends far beyond physical attributes, encompassing a person's presence, personality and the impact they have on others. When it comes to discussions about the most handsome men in Bollywood, names like Hrithik Roshan and Shah Rukh Khan frequently top the list. Hrithik's chiseled features, often likened to those of a Greek god and SRK's undeniable charm have long been the focal point of attention. Even seasoned actors like Dharmendra continue to be revered as the original heartthrobs of Indian cinema. However, despite these opinions and the widespread admiration for these stars, the question remains: who truly holds the title of "The Most Handsome Man in the World"?

This query sparks a broader debate about the nature of beauty, charm, and what makes someone truly captivating to others. It's remarkable to note that only two Bollywood legends have received the rare and prestigious recognition of being named among the most handsome men in the world.

In the golden era of Indian cinema, Dharmendra, affectionately known as the "He-Man" of Bollywood, was internationally acclaimed for his rugged good looks. Interestingly, a Reddit thread referencing a tweet from History TV reveals that Dharmendra was crowned the most handsome man in the world in the mid-1970s.

His on-screen presence, combined with his humble persona and effortless charm, captivated audiences across the globe, cementing his status as a timeless icon of masculinity and style. This achievement is all the more notable given the era in which it occurred, long before the advent of social media and viral trends that often amplify such recognitions today.

While the recognition may not be an official award from a governing body, it still carries significant weight due to the widespread admiration and media coverage surrounding it. A notable example is Salman Khan's ranking as the 7th most handsome man in the world by People magazine in 2004. This acknowledgment from a renowned lifestyle publication globally underscores his broad appeal.

Even at 59, he remains a beloved and influential star both in India and internationally, with a fanbase that spans generations. His legacy extends far beyond his films, solidifying his status as a timeless icon in the entertainment industry. This connection with his audience has been a key factor in his sustained popularity and influence.
