Bollywood actors on average tend to be a lot more older than their Asian counterparts. Whereas in East Asia you have a lot of young idols who dabble in Television and films, it is not the case in Bollywood. The most succesfull actors in Bollywood now are in their 40's. There are younger actors and I'll be introducing them seperately in Part 2. Bollywood is also full of nepotism and clan led and therefore, most of the actors belong to Filmi Families. Unlike my intro to Taiwanese actors or Japanese actors, I am not just mentioning my favourite actors because some actors I do not like have some very popular movies in Bollywood. Also, I know a lot more about it, so you'll get a more nuanced view from me.
The 4 Khans: Bollywood's most famous actors.
Chances are that if you'll ever see a Bollywood movie, it will be starring a Khan. They all have different appeals and acting abilities.
Shahrukh Khan

He is probably one of the most famous Bollywood actor and also know as SRK and King Khan. He is very charismatic and loved by legions of women.The role that garnered him a lot of attention was actually a negative role (a villain). He then reinvented his image to play a quintessential Bollywood romantic hero in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Recently, Shahrukh has broadened his acting horizons by doing roles in Chak de India and Swades. These movies are notable because his acting is very natural and subtle.Aamir Khan

He is my favourite Khan of Bollywood. He is known to be a perfectionist and is probably one of the best actors in Bollywood. His movie Lagaan that he starred in was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Foreign Picture in 2001. His production company is known for supporting movies that are atypical Bollywood. That is the movies have no song or dance or have good script or not romance or over the top stuff Bollywood is known for. Some of my favourite movies of him are Dil Chahata Hai, Mumbai Diaries (Dhobi Ghat) and Taare Zameen Par.Salman Khan

He is Bollywood's bad boy who has served jail time and known for abusing his famous ex Aishwarya Rai. However, for some reason kids love him and I mean love this guy. He's not all bad as he does support poor folks in India and does a lot of charity work. Oh, also he's known for dating some of the most beautiful women on Planet Earth. I really don't see the appeal. You can probably guess, he's my least favourite of all the Khans. Nevertheless, he has been part of some entertaining Bollywood movies. He's not a very good actor but does have popular appeal and was part of Dabaang (a very popular Bollywood movie).Saif Ali Khan

His mum was one of my favourite Bollywood actress and his dad is a royal. He comes from a background of privilege. I hated his earlier work but he has tremendously improved his acting. All you fans of Shakespeare must see Omkara, an adaptation of Othello. Saif plays Iago and he's just amazing. He was also in Dil Chahta Hai. Akshay Kumar

He's one of the best looking Bollywood actors. He can also dance, act and make you fall in love with him. I tremendously enjoyed him in Dhoom 2 and Lakshya. Amitabh Bachhan

He's been part of a lot of movies and he's also one of Bollywood's most famous actors. He is the host of India's version of Who wants to be a Millionaire. He is a talented actor. I like a lot of his movies especially the one in 1970's so go check out his filmography.There are some famous old actors like Sanjay Dutt that I have left out but frankly the above mentioned actors are the most popular and loved. Part II will have younger Bollywood actors like Shahid Kapoor, John Abraham and Imran Khan.
