Shahid Kapoor is Bollywood’s quintessential chocolate boy who has bowled us over with his impish charm, and impeccable acting skills. He exudes a boy-next-door charisma with his dimpled smile, while also sending us into an ovary-exploding tizzy with his super-ripped physique. 

While he might have joined the ranks of the unattainable, thanks to Mira, he hasn’t ceased to sizzle on the silver screen and off it.

Here’s proof, or 22, of the perfection that Shahid Kapoor has been, is, and will continue to be:

1. A full beard, fedora, saxophone, and Shahid Kapoor. *swoon*
