Vijay Singh Deol, popularly known as Bobby Deol, the tall, handsome son of the famous film star Dharmendra, brother of actor Sunny Deol and actress Esha, has inherited his father's well known humility, acting talent and the gorgeous physique. He made his debut in a romantic lead in 'Barsaatâ in 1995, a home production of Dharmendraâs Vijayta Films directed by Raj Kumar Santoshi. Though the film was not successful, assets in the form of good looks and a good deal of patience slowly led him to the path of success. Flops like 'Aur Pyar Ho Gaya' (1997), 'Kareeb' (1998) and 'Dillagi' (1999) pulled him down by a few steps, but 'Gupt' (1997), 'Soldier' (1998), 'Badal' (2000), 'Bichoo' (2000), 'Ajnabee' (2001), helped him regain some ground and make up for the set back. Bobby Deol's personal image continues to be that of a protected younger son. He attributes his strength to the support of his family and lovely wife Tanya.

'Badal' (2000) was one of the movies that I enjoyed with him, maybe for the songs, so many of his family members are actors/actresses........His Dad Dharmendra, his step mom Hema Malini, his brother Sunny Deol, his sister Esha Deol and his smaller brother?

Vikram, fondly called as Chiyyan by his fans is the current hot favourite of South Indians. He is residing at Chennai with his family, wife Shaila and two kids. Though he has no filmy background, Vikram had been obsessed with acting since he was a child. In 1989, he debuted with 'Thandhu Vittaen Ennai', directed by veteran director R. Sridhar, which didn't do any good for his career. The next ten years he got only character roles in Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu films. Then the film 'Sethu', directed by Bala, which was a super hit stepped him on to the position of a superstar. His hard work earned him the National Award for best actor of 2004 for the Tamil film 'Pithamagan', again directed by Bala in which he played the role of Chittan, a grave-digger.

It's not a useful exercise to compare actors from different generations. It would be comparing, say, Marlon Brando with Brad Pitt.
Having said that it is not a stretch to say that one actor has transcended all eras - Amitabh Bachan.
Regarding this generation of actors - the under 30 and over 30 males - none comes close to Amir Khan for his range of acting. One to watch is Ranbir Kapoor and Amir's nephew Imran Khan. Shah Rukh has been a box office king, but his acting has been combined with a star quality. His acting tends to be one-dimensional. His best roles are like the one in Chak de India. Saif Ali Khan has to be among the top male actors of this era. Two other Khans are worth mentioning - Salman and Irfaan. The latter is a favorite with American producers - see his role in the HBO series a year ago and the movie New York, I love you.
Regarding the females Vidya Balan is my Meryl Streep. Kareena has star quality and is a seriously good actress. Rani Mukherji is a notable and her role in Black is unforgettable.
