The younger lot that attained instant stardom in Bollywood is being overthrown from its perch by peppier and even fresher blood

The league of charming actors like Ranbir Kapoor and Imraan Khan have ruled hearts, but it's time now for some fresh faces to show their colours. With wit and an optimistic approach, young and hot contemporary stars like Prateik Babbar, Aditya Roy Kapoor and Ranveer Singh are ready to rule the roost and have turned hot favourites among youngsters.While some love their witty attitude, others consider them their inspiration. Youngsters share their love for the three stars that makes them different from other lovey-dovey actors.
Charu Mohan, a media pro for the energy they portray on screen. It's fun and refreshing to watch them."
Agrees Rachit Singh, an MBA student, who feels the natural performance by these actors, which even the younger lot can relate to is surely making them a hit.
"Ranveer was very natural in Band Baja Baaraat. He could carry a typical Dilliwala attitude. Besides I like Prateik Babbar for his intense acting skills," he adds.
Natasha Singh, a movie buff feels that the biggest factor is the kind of roles and script they chose to start their career with.
"Ranveer's role in Band Baaja Baaraat is so unlike a typical Bollywood hero. There's nothing charming about his character, but still t's fun and com pelling to watch it again and again. Although Aditya Roy Kapoor's initial films like Action Replayy and Guzaarish have not been very grand, his roles in both these films has helped him gain audiences' attention."
She adds, "I think people like Prateik for his brooding looks.
People expected so much out of him since he belongs to that lineage. Today, new-age actors do not wait for a grand entry, they are happy to perform any realistic role that gives them enough chance to explore unfamiliar areas."
But there are few who still fancy their old "cute favourites". "Personally for me, nobody can ever be perfect than Ranbir and Shahid Kapoor. But if one is to be liked on the basis of acting alone then Prateik Babbar leads among contemporary actors," says Neha Tyagi, a medical professional.
