I’ve tried to recollect a few Indian actors who have, on more than one occasion, been hired to play the role of the guy who gets ditched by the heroine. Classic members of the L-Club. The ranking is based on certain parameters listed below. Higher points are given to the one who has:
a) More movies in which he has been ditched in
b) Box office insignificance of the movie in which he has been ditched
c) Hotness of heroine ditching him
d) The alternative chosen by the female being a bigger loser
And here is the list:
6. Shah Rukh
Devdas, Darr
The guy charges way too much to play the character who gets ditched. Even when he does, he is still the protagonist. Hence.
5. Salman Khan
Hum Dil Sanam, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam, Saajan
Admit it. He has style.
4. Tarun Arora
Jab we met, Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi, Hawas, Men Not Allowed
Loser. Total. But due credit must be given to the way he makes himself so forgettable in whatever role he plays. Actually he is the reason I thought of this post in the first place.
3. Tushar kapoor
Mujhe Kuch Kenha Hai, Gayab
Spoilt Brother. Loser. Gets ditched in movies. Makes Sense.
2. Akshaye Khanna
Hungama, Race, Humraaz
Somehow I don't see this guy fitting into any other role.
1. Saif Ali Khan
Yeh Dillagi, Kal Ho Na Ho(Yes, although he marries her, it’s a regretful one), Rehna hai tere dil mein, Na Tum jaano na hum, Kya Kehna, Arzoo, Imtihaan
The official Nawab of L-Club. Yes. I titled him so. Wins on account of sheer numbers and for actually being a momma's boy but pretending to be a tough dude.
Feel free to comment with your own nominations.
