7 Reasons Irrfan Khan Is Taking Over As Bollywood's New Romantic Hero

Unconventional pairings, heroes turning villains, female-centric films, Bollywood seems to have seen it all in the past few years. Now actor Irrfan Khan is here to break more stereotypes and has conveniently tossed away all conventional opinions about typical romantic heroes of Bollywood. The actor's onscreen chemistry with Deepika Padukone in his latest film Piku is perfect. And that's not all. He will also be seen opposite Kangana Ranaut and Aishwarya Rai as the romantic lead in Divine Lovers and Jazbaa, respectively.

Here's how Irrfan Khan is establishing his supremacy as the new romantic favourite for many! 

1. His portrayal of love on-screen is refreshingly honest.

The small nuances of love and romance are best captured by Irrfan Khan as he displays that side of love which is more real than reel. Silence is the best form of communication between two people in love, and Irrfan perfectly plays the silent and calm lover, not only with his expressions, but with his gestures too. He displays that sense of longing for a woman that is always present in real life romances!

2. He is a charmer, all thanks to his unconventional looks!

His looks are what make him relatable as an actor. Not every guy in reality is a Greek god and love is much more than that. Irrfan Khan's intelligent looks have worked to his advantage and he has convincingly played the loving husband, the quiet lover and the witty friend, with ease in several films.

3. He's got the makings of a marriage-material kind of guy for his female fans.

Irrfan Khan doesn't qualify as the stereotypical guy on the street. He's not the guy who wears low jeans, tight shirts and has gelled hair with a boyish personality. He is someone who knows what he does every step of the way, a simple man with a simple heart and a charismatic personality, and a mature partner who will steal your heart. He's the man one can always fall back on.

4. He has clearly redefined the dynamics of mature love stories in Hindi cinema.

Love doesn't always need to be expressed in order to show it to the world. Irrfan Khan is one of those actors who represents the shy, mature and reserved kind of love that is actually very simple. There's no running around trees and singing songs; instead, a deep and mature feeling that enhances the whole experience of falling in love.

5. His charm and suave looks have never reduced his on-screen wit and humor.

Irrfan Khan is one of those romantic heroes who doesn't impress his lady loves with grand actions, but by simple things like making them laugh and engaging in intellectual yet simple conversations. Long walks on the beach are the best with a guy like him.

6. His versatility as an actor is commendable.

If we trace Irrfan Khan's filmography back to the beginning, we will never be able to find a pattern in his choice of films. Whether it's 7 Khoon Maaf, Lunchbox, Gunday, D-Day, Paan Singh Tomar or Shoojit Sarkar's Piku, when it comes to film, he has never compromised on the script and has always pushed himself beyond the edge to prove his caliber. He has never held himself from trying new things and that certainly makes him a risk-taker.

7. People from all over the globe have validated him for his performances!

Not everyone knows that Julia Roberts stopped outside the Kodak Theater (Oscar venue) to compliment and congratulate Irrfan for his performance in Slumdog Millionaire. And this is just one instance. We are sure there are many.
