TV Hotties - Femina - Indiatimes

Matt Le Blanc, Mathew Perry and David Schwimmer: Better known as Joey, Chandler and Ross in F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Without doubt, our favourite men on the small screen. We wanted to pick one but it's impossible. They're all incredible in their own way. Joey's hot (our one-time pin-up), Chandler's hilarious (and hot, though not on the show) and Ross is endearingly geeky. They've got the looks, the charm, the boyish nervous act that girls love and most importantly, they've got all the funny lines.

Samir Soni: Something about this guy's looks spells stability, no matter what character he's playing on TV, though we must say, the corporate, cool dude look suits him the most. You want him to be the 'nice guy' even when he's playing a jerk. The kind one wants to take home to mom. We still remember his Motorola 'Bang-bang' ad days. And we love the way he brightens up when he smiles. Quite neat, this one.

Ray Romano: He's the guy who plays the lead in 'Everybody Loves Raymond'. And he's always in trouble! You squirm and pray for him when he says something that's going to make his wife see red (which happens with alarming regularity!) He ain't a looker and can be an exasperating husband as well, but along with his weird parents and even weirder brother, Ray creates comic magic in the show. He's very funny and his book 'Everything And A Kite', proves just how much. In fact, one of our staffers wanted to marry him at one point, until the rest of us pointed out how his screen-wife is never laughing...

Gaurav Kapur: He's been our 'Locker Room' guy so you probably know how funny he can be. But apart from his inherent wit and charm, we love Gaurav because he has brought diabetes (something he has been affected from) in young people to the forefront. It's tough to talk about your problems, especially in front of the entire nation. Requires sheer guts. Something we simply adore in a man.

Akhtar Khan: He hosts 'Fast Track' on BBC World. He's stylishly casual and seems to have just the right mix of guy-next-door charm and intelligence. An experienced journalist, he's covered considerable base in reportage and knows what holds a good show together. The dark, good looks have us drooling... An outdoor guy, he loves white water rafting, skiing and... cooking!

Akashdeep Saigal: The ponytail sporting Ansh from 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi'. True, sometimes he looks menacingly into the camera even when he's not required to, but we'll let that pass. As we went to press, we'd heard rumours of his imminent death on the show. Well, maybe he'll be brought back to life in a distant land with no memory. If he's still on when you read this, yippie! If not, may his gorgeous screen-soul rest in peace.

Look out for a 'Private I' with this dude...

Prannoy Roy: Style. Class. Sophistication. Yeah, like Clooney, but Roy also has an unruffled reporting style and vast experience that lend him a quality that the viewer instantly trusts. And the viewer's trust is a journalist's biggest strength. So, here's to the head honcho of all things newsy... 'Hail, Mr Roy, may your tribe increase'.

Jeff Corwin: He loves spontaneity and since there's a lot of that happening when you're dealing with unpredictable animals on Animal Planet, he's a hoot to watch, with monkeys swinging happily off him, snakes wrapping themselves obstinately around him and frogs jumping off his hands onto his face while he's trying his best to tell us something. Once, as part of a challenge from the producers, he was deposited in the wilderness, somewhere in America, and had 48 hours to find out where he was, based only on the snakes he found. With loads of hilarious situations (perhaps not for Jeff!), he succeeded!

Topher Grace: He's Eric Forman from 'That '70s Show'. He's very hot, though like Chandler, not on the show. There, he's kind of a nerd with a hot girlfriend. He's not into sports, he's endearingly inept at most things that require tools, he's called 'Dumb Ass' by his dad all the time, he's a bit of a momma's boy and his sister would gladly sell him for a couple of bucks. Sounds a little loser-like? Well, therein lies his charm. He's got brilliant comic timing and he and his gang sure know how to have a rockin' time! He was discovered acting in a high school play. 'That '70s Show' was his first audition and is now, his pathway to Hollywood. Good for him!
