The 57-year-old was appreciated for his work in all of his endeavours.
Saif Ali Khan
Known for his metrosexual image, Tiger Pataudi's son Saif Ali Khan too wrapped the turban to essay Veer Singh in Love Aaj Kal (2009), directed by Imtiaz Ali. The 43-year-old, who played a double role in the romantic comedy, impressed girls across the country with his style statement in the film.
Ranbir Kapoor
Current heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor was seen with turban in Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year (2009). Rachel Saltz of New York Times called it "a smart, focussed Bollywood movie" and commended the 31-year-old for "turning in a skillfully understated performance".
Ajay Devgn
Ajay Devgan furnished an exquisite performance of his career as freedom fighter Bhagat Singh in The Legend of Bhagat Singh.
For the 2002 release, directed by Raj Kumar Santoshi, he received the National Film Award for best actor. Later, the 45-year-old did a humorous role in Son of Sardaar (2012) as Jaswinder Singh.
