In Indian films, bright colors, seething passions, a lot of songs, dances and fights. They are a little naive: good here always triumphs over evil, and justice triumphs. How I want to sometimes believe in a fairy tale! How about really? What do Indian men look like in life, without makeup and decorations? In India, they will never give an unequivocal answer to your question. Such is the country.
Indian beauty
Each nationality has its own characteristics. It makes the world around you brighter and more interesting. India is a densely populated country. More than a billion people live in it - a sixth of the inhabitants of the planet. There are several hundred nationalities in the country, all religions, races and skin colors.
The population is divided into castes that are engaged in a certain type of activity. Therefore, representatives of several families traditionally become actors, musicians and businessmen. Although the country has a very large variation in height, skin color, eyes and hair, nevertheless, most of the inhabitants are swarthy and black-haired. However, in the movies, on the covers of magazines and on the TV screen amongIndian men and women are many people with an almost European appearance.
Dark skin is traditionally associated with lower castes, poverty, hard work. Successful people are fair-skinned. When the Aryans, who had light skin, came to India many centuries ago, they divided the people so as not to mix their blood - these are the castes of warriors, brahmins, artisans and merchants. Non-Aryans could not enter into castes. Couldn't keep it clean. Nature brings surprises, and in the family of a very we althy person there may be a swarthy boy.
Now in India, hair lightening, face whitening creams are used, and the beauty standard is increasingly approaching the European one. So much so that the winner of the 2016 UK beauty pageant was an Indian man.
Mr World
In Southport, 46 participants competed for twelve days in talent contests, sports competitions and answered numerous questions, demonstrating intelligence. As a result, the winner was named - it was Rohit Khandelwal. A year before, he was recognized as the most handsome Indian man. For the first time, an Indian won.
In 2016, one more title was added to the flattering title - the most desirable man on the planet. Rohit was born on August 19, 1989. He is 177 cm tall and weighs 80 kg. Hair and eyes are black. Single.
Before entering the modeling business, he worked as an assistant in a computer company. Having decided to change his life, he took care of himself, began to visit the gym and in fouryear achieved excellent results. He dreams of acting in films, and now works as a TV presenter.
Indian beauty pageant
If we talk about the beauty of Indian men, as it is understood in their homeland, it is impossible not to talk about the beauty contest among the Sikhs. They make up 20% of the personnel of the Indian army. Most people who practice Sikhism belong to the rural worker caste. In 2005, this competition was launched to raise the profile of the Sikhs and encourage young people to be proud of their faith and traditions.
Amritsar, the host city of the competition, has received many candidates. And after numerous tests, 26 guys reached the final. They had to fight in such categories as the best costume (of course, national), the best physique, the most belligerent look. The demonstrations used real Sikh weapons.
The Indian men in the photo are the ones who made it to the final. Sikhs do not use any nutritional supplements in the process of training - this is not allowed by religion. Therefore, the relief of their muscles is not as pronounced as that of bodybuilders. But on stage, the guy easily lifted the motorcycle up on outstretched arms - the Sikhs did not take strength. The award ceremony took place in national costumes. The jury encouraged the guys to wear a turban, not be shy about this headdress and show its beauty with dignity.
Bollywood sex symbol
Hrithik Roshan was born on January 10, 1974 into an acting family. He stuttered until the age of fourteen, so he did not think about cinema, although he played a role insix years of age. Everyone believed that after graduation he would continue his studies in Europe, but the guy went to acting classes. His father helped him a lot and Hrithik quickly became famous. He sings and dances beautifully. However, this can be said about Indian men in general.
He is considered the sex symbol of Bollywood. The attention of the audience is riveted not only to his thirty films, but also to his personal life. He was married, now divorced, helping his ex-wife raise two children.
He is 180 cm tall, weighs 80 kg, has green eyes and brown hair. He is an athlete, diving and bodybuilding.

In the sky of Bollywood, among the Indian male stars, there is one especially bright - Shah Rukh Khan. He is an actor, producer, screenwriter, director, broadcaster and King of Bollywood. He was born on November 2, 1965 in the family of an engineer and a lawyer.
At the University of Delhi, he studied economics, but the desire to act in films took over. Khana quickly became famous. There are so many Best Actor awards on his cast list that he's become something of a record holder.
In India, Shah Rukh Khan is called India's Tom Cruise for his large bank account. And in 2015, he even overtook his American namesake. The actor is married and remains faithful to his first love. The couple have three children.
He is 165 cm tall, weighs 75 kg, has dark brown eyes and black hair.
Poet, artist and musician
The talented Ali Zafar was born on May 18, 1980 in a family of teachers. Hiscan not be fully attributed to the number of Indian men, because he is Pakistani. He started drawing early and trained as a designer after school. Music attracted him more, and he began to perform with his songs, which brought him worldwide fame. Having released three albums, he is currently working on his fourth. Acts in films, but admits that he loves music more.

Indian men's names
The official language of India is Hindi. English - the second, additional. If the family is Catholic, then the boy can be called the usual Western name. Muslims have their own names. Traditional Hindi names always mean something. If they want to call a boy a sonorous, glorious name, these will be the names Abhay, Babar, Vijay, Isha, Raj, Sanjay, Seresh, Sing, Sharma, Yash ("fearless", "victory", "protector", "king", "triumphant ", "God Ruler", "lion", "protection", "glory").
The handsome boy will be named Aravind, Arjun, Bala, Vimal, Kamal, Nanda, Neelam, Prabhat, Kumar ("lotus", "white", "young", "pure", "red", "joy", "sapphire", "dawn", "son"). If parents want the name to reflect the mindson, they will name him Amit or Devdan, Mahatma, Mehmud, Rishi, Sumati ("infinite", "gift of God", "great soul", "worthy of praise", "sage", "inclined to good").
Not so long ago, a single name system was adopted in India: the first name is personal, the second is the father's name, like a patronymic, and a surname. But not everyone has switched to this order yet. In different religions, in different localities, it is customary to add a title to the name, the god worshiped or the name of the locality. This causes confusion. Apparently, it is difficult to switch to a new naming system.
Simple Indian boys
Handsome Indian men, who are shown in the movies, give a lot of strength to their form - it's their job. Even Mr. World once did not stand out in the crowd. If you train with a fitness trainer, eat balanced sports food, constantly wax and visit a stylist, then anyone will become handsome.
The average Indian man seen on the streets of Europe or America most likely belongs to a priestly or non-manual caste. These are employees of institutions, doctors, teachers. That is the type of appearance that is now so popular. The Indian man often wears tinted glasses. He has black hair and brown eyes and dark skin. If he does not shave twice a day, he wears a small beard. Almost all Indians are well built, dance well and love to sing. They tend to like blondes.
Regular students may not be very fashion savvy, not so tall, don't go to the gym often. But it is interesting to communicate with them - they have rich traditions. Ultimately, personality matters more than outward beauty.
