6 Male Characters From Bollywood Movies We Would Love To Date

Many times, we criticize Bollywood for promoting toxic characters as romantic icons. However, amidst those questionable portrayals, Bollywood has undeniably introduced us to some truly charming, progressive, and supportive male characters who have left us so impressed that we wouldn’t mind dating them in real life. These characters have redefined what it means to be a partner, showcasing qualities that we admire and respect. Here are 6 such characters who have won our hearts and set new standards for Bollywood romance.

Jai Singh Rathode from Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

Jai, portrayed by Imran Khan, is undoubtedly one of the male characters we’d love to date. Taking a stand against toxic masculinity, Jai is an emotionally mature person who believes in gender equality. What sets Jai apart is his emotional maturity. He treats Aditi with unwavering respect and love, valuing her concerns and feelings. Moreover, he demonstrates an understanding and empathy toward individuals with mental health challenges, like Aditi’s brother and Meghna.

Rana from Piku

Rana, played by Irrfan Khan, is one of the most progressive male characters of recent times. Rana is neither terrified nor intimidated by the strong and independent Piku. Instead, he admires her for being strong and independent. What sets him apart is that he is neither judgmental nor stuck in society’s regressive norms about strong women, making him a perfect choice to date.

Sunny from Dil Dhadakne Do

Sunny, brought to life by Farhan Akhtar, embodies a progressive outlook on equality in love and relationships. He stole our hearts when he fought against the regressive take of Manav (Rahul Bose) on giving permission to his wife (Priyanka Chopra) to work. Who wouldn’t like to date such a supportive man?
