Today, let's scroll through some of the most-talked about Bollywood anti-heroes. These hard-to-miss roles were driven by obsession, power, mad love and did manage to win a million hearts of the audiences. Here's a look at some actors who have brilliantly brought anti-heroes to life: Ranveer Singh
2 / 8
As the unhinged and ferocious Alauddin Khilji in Padmaavat (2018), Ranveer Singh delivered a tour de force performance. His portrayal of unchecked ambition and madness was so magnetic, it dominated the film and redefined villainy in modern cinema. Vicky Kaushal
3 / 8
While Nawazuddin Siddiqui's serial killer character grabbed headlines, Vicky Kaushal's performance as a corrupt, drug-addicted cop in Raman Raghav 2.0 (2016) was equally disturbing. His descent into darkness blurs the line between law and lawlessness, making him a fascinating anti-hero. Shah Rukh Khan
4 / 8
Before he became the King of Romance, Shah Rukh Khan stunned audiences with his portrayal of the obsessive and terrifying Rahul in Darr (1993). His haunting delivery of 'K-k-k-Kiran' remains iconic. He later took on the role of a stylish and ruthless criminal mastermind in Don 2 (2011), redefining the anti-hero for a new generation. Randeep Hooda
5 / 8
Randeep Hooda played a menacing anti-hero in Jaat, delivering a performance that balances charm with menace. Known for diving deep into intense characters, Randeep brings depth and grit to the role, portraying a man who operates in grey zones while still commanding empathy. Shahid Kapoor
6 / 8
In Vishal Bhardwaj's Shahid Kapoor's gritty, double-edged performance in Kaminey (2009), a film that dared to break stereotypes and present flawed protagonists who win your empathy without necessarily seeking your approval. From his dual roles as the stammering Guddu and the lisping Charlie — both morally ambiguous and living on the edge — Kapoor embraced characters who were as messed up as they were magnetic. Saif Ali Khan
7 / 8
Saif Ali Khan portrayed a dark, enigmatic antagonist in Devara, opposite Jr NTR. With a history of playing morally grey characters in films like Omkara and Laal Kaptaan, Saif continues to explore the darker corners of human nature with finesse and flair. Ranbir Kapoor
8 / 8
In Animal (2023), Ranbir Kapoor's transformation into the violent, emotionally volatile Ranvijay was both shocking and powerful. He plays a man caught in a cycle of love and destruction, making audiences both fear and feel for him in equal measure.

Hina Khan & Rocky Jaiswal Tie the Knot in a Dreamy Ceremony After Almost 13 Years of Love
From a love story written in the stars to a wedding that stole the hearts of fans everywhere, Hina Khan and Rocky Jaiswal are now officially husband and wife. The beloved couple got married on Wednesday, June 4, and shared the first glimpses of their intimate celebration across social media, leaving fans mesmerized by their dreamy portraits and heartwarming moments. A Wedding Woven with Meaning For her special day, Hina Khan embraced timeless elegance in a minimalist ensemble by Manish Malhotra. She wore an opal green handloom saree, intricately woven with centuries-old motifs in gold and silver threads. The saree was finished with delicate red borders, zardosi embroidery, and subtle gotta detailing; a nod to heritage craftsmanship. Completing the look was a soft pink veil with a scalloped hem, but what truly captured attention was the personalized detail was Hina and Rocky's names engraved into the fabric alongside an infinity symbol, a beautiful representation of eternal love. Rocky Jaiswal complemented her look in an understated yet regal kurta by Manish Malhotra. Classic, tailored, and elegant, it perfectly complemented his bride's look. Among the pictures that melted hearts was a tender shot of Jaiswal gently tying an anklet around Hina's feet, and another where the couple is seen signing their marriage certificate, marking the beginning of a new chapter. A Journey That Began in 2009 Hina and Rocky's love story dates back to 2009 on the sets of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, where Hina played the role of Akshara and Rocky worked as the supervising producer. Their professional partnership gradually evolved into a deep bond, which they made public in 2017. Through the years, they have stood by each other through every high and low -none more so than Hina's recent cancer diagnosis, during which Rocky was her constant support. From hospital visits to quiet moments of strength, he was by her side every step of the way. Earlier this year, the couple even lived out their K-drama fantasy as they traveled through South Korea, capturing memories of love, resilience, and adventure.
