Born: London, England
Birthday: 13 July
Who is he?
He might’ve started off his career by appearing in a cheesy Abrarul Haq video (Sano Tere Naal Pyar Ho Gaya anyone?), but soon enough, Mikaal Zulfkar was walking the ramp for top designers, appearing in dramas, starring in hilarious Ufone advertisements and dating the Pakistani Kareena Kapoor — Zara Sheikh.
By 2008, the model-cum-actor had also scored himself a spot in the Bollywood film Shoot on Sight alongside veteran actors Om Puri and Naseeruddin Shah.
Why we’re crushing on him
He’s not tall, dark or chiselled, but he manages to make it all work somehow.
He is a meringue mix of east and west with his mother bringing in the English genes, but Mikaal says he is more eastern than western.
His sleek, clean-shaven look is a breath of fresh air in a time when men choose to look like they were raised by a pack of wolves.
If we were ever to make a James Bond cheat, he would be our lead for sure.
His crisp demeanour and naughty yet innocent looks are so undercover spy-like that we are more than tempted to sit on his chair’s arm and be his ‘mona darling’.
We can’t help but fall for those dreamy eyes, his unassuming manner and his boy-next-door look! Sigh, if only he lived next door!
What you might not know
He’s already signed up for two more Indian films. His animated expressions and comic timing in Ufone ads have a cult following.
His versatility as an actor makes us want to believe that he has uncountable sides to his personality which just makes the whole package even more intriguing.
Since everything good is either married, fattening or illegal, this scrumptious thing is also taken.
His wife’s middle name is Isis — the name of an Egyptian goddess who was worshipped as the ideal mother and wife.
So if you want to compete with her for his attention you better be a reincarnation of Aphrodite. We will give you a moment!
