MUMBAI: Major transformations of celebrated Bollywood actors have often grabbed attention, especially when it’s a shift from their soft-boy era to a gritty and intense space. And who better than our beloved actors from the late 90s and early 2000s who stunned us with striking transformations in their energies! Take a look:
Shah Rukh Khan: Shah Rukh Khan ruled hearts with his charming looks in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Dil To Pagal Hai, all while defining his soft boy era. Steadily, he marked a shift in his screen personality by starring in films that brought out the gritty shade of him, including titles like Jawan, Raees, Don, and many more that added more to his spectrum.
Arjun Rampal: Arjun Rampal entered Bollywood in 2001 with Pyaar, Ishq Aur Mohabbat and his charming looks tugged heartstrings. Years passed, his filmography evolved and so did his personality. He took on intense roles in films like Om Shanti Om, Daddy, Ra One, Rana Naidu S2 (series), which logged his shift into the gritty space. And since then, the audiences have been loving his transition.
Dino Morea: Dino Morea made his film debut with Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi and since then, he has stood strong with the title of the OG chocolate boy. His smiles, charm, and soft boy looks cast a magical spell over his admirers. In 2021, Dino starred in The Empire, which introduced a contrasting shade to his soft boy charm. The actor entered an intense zone of his screen personality, and it was cherished equally!
Shahid Kapoor: Audiences rightfully gave Shahid Kapoor the moniker of a chocolate boy after falling for his look in films like Vivah, Kismat Konnection and more. Then came a wave of his transition with films like Haider, Kabir Singh, Bloody Daddy, Deva and Udta Punjab, that clearly shed his chocolate boy image.
John Abraham: Earlier, John Abraham was known for his lean physique and softer smiles that defined his chocolate boy era. Then came his films like Dhoom, Shootout At Lokhandwala, Vedaa, Race 2, and more that marked his shift into the ‘macho’ man zone.
