In today’s world, in order to gain fame and popularity, an actor has to connect himself to the Gen-Y. This talent is more than mere acting and having cinematic brilliance. It’s actually getting connected to the generations through real time social networking sites, website polls, reality shows and charity works.
Alike Hollywood, Bollywood too has a bunch of celebs who take up causes and speak their mind against the injustice prevailing in the Indian society. Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan, along with many others, continue to move and motivate an entire generation of Indians with the causes they support and films they do. Here is a list of top 5 bollywood youth icons of today. You choose your own:
1. Shah Rukh Khan
Shah Rukh Khan is a self-made man and he has proved that he made it large by complete hard work, smart strategies and the right use of his struggling period. Recently, he urged millions of youth to make use of their time carefully and cautiously as time and money wait for none.
SRK is a versatile actor who played a variety of roles in his long lasting journey in Bollywood film industry. To begin with a few negative roles in movies “Anjaam” and “Darr” to the chocolate boy image under Yash Raj and Karan Johar banners, to intense roles in “Swades” and “Chak De India”, the superstar proved himself as one of the finest actors of B-town.
“To achieve success is not easy. You will have to give up a lot of things you love. You will have to sleep less and work very hard. You will have to go on, no matter whether you are fine or ill, whether you are tired or not, whether you wish or don’t wish to do it. You might not be able to give that much time to your family, but you will have to do your work, Success doesn’t wait”. These touching words are his answer for youth about the secret of being successful.

3. Varun Dhawan
