He’s one of those late bloomers, who rose up from the bylanes of Srinagar Colony to the elite club of Filmnagar. And he’s done his bit to look the part by shedding the dork look. It seemed to have worked like a charm... he has the biggest of stars eating out of his hands, and has even been linked up with a certain Miss P. Hot, no?

Desirability Quotient: He makes all the right moves... lights up the stage, sizzles on screen, holds his wife’s hand in public and poses for aww pics with his baby son. And just when you think he’s such a good boy, he goes and channels his inner hottie with raunchy dance moves in a naughty number — from pelvic thrusts to booty shake to bouncing around with his heroine perched perfectly on his lap... there’s nothing this livewire will shy away from.
11/21

Hyderabad Times 20 Most Desirable Men of 2014

13/21

Hyderabad Times 20 Most Desirable Men of 2014

14/21

Hyderabad Times 20 Most Desirable Men of 2014

13. Varun Tej
Claim to fame: The most naturally good-looking Mega hero, they call him ‘Mega Prince’ for a reason. With his first film Mukunda, Varun Tej proved his mettle. And he looks set for a long haul.

Relationship Status: Single

Desirability Quotient: You can unapologetically call him a Greek God. Pushing 6’3”, this guy’s a looker alright. But his charm definitely lies in his intense eyes and raw sex appeal.

16/21

Hyderabad Times 20 Most Desirable Men of 2014

Relationship Status: Not sure, since he won’t say.

Desirability Quotient: They say the women you date is the last word on your desirability. In Sid’s case, it’s Soha Ali Khan, Shruti Haasan, Samantha. And guess what ladies, looks like he’s up for grabs again...
17/21

Hyderabad Times 20 Most Desirable Men of 2014

16. Ram

18/21
