• Just when we thought heroes were either chocolate-faced puppy dogs or brainless muscles, along came Abhishek Bachchan - tall, dark and handsome.

• We love his sexy 'day-old stubble' look. And an attitude that says devil may care...

• Aby's baby is standing tall in Bollywood despite many no shows at the Box Office. How many actors we know can do that?

• He's born to Bollywood's most famous couple but Abhishek's not one to throw his weight around and parade his connections. Down to earth and adorable - just our type!

• Seems to have taken over from dad as the Angry Young Man. Whether he's playing the 'Refugee' or firing up the screen as Lallan in 'Yuva', we can't have enough of this smouldering sexy rebel.

• The guy has eyes that seem to hold a million secrets. Won't we love to be the ones to discover them...

• He's the perfect gentleman. He doesn't blab on his ex and maintains a dignified silence on rumours linking him with other heroines. Give us a man who knows his manners any day...

• From Kareena Kapoor to Bhumika Chawla and Rani Mukherjee, Aby's baby is a superhit with his heroines. Kareena calls him her special first hero, Bhumika says he's 'sweet, cultured and well behaved' and Rani just glows when paired alongside this heartthrob.

• He's a prankster at heart. But only when the cameras are switched off and the media is far away. No cheap acts to get into the spotlight for this one. It's firmly on him anyway.

• He may look like a 'wear and go' kind of guy but we love his sense of rugged, casual style. And with Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla as his favourite designers, the guy's got taste as well.

• Wonderfully single. That seals it for us, doesn't it?
