They say that it’s the beard that separates the boys from the men. But Bollywood stars tend to keep their faces clean shaven so that it’s easier for their female stars to land a peck or two on their cheeks. So how do our delicious stars look with a little help from the hairy-fairy? Koimoi.com looks at the sexiest bearded boys:

Imran Khan

From that adorable boy-next-door to a gruff man; Imran Khan tops our list just for his amazing metamorphosis. While Imran is currently giving the razor a rest for Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Manndola, he also had a manly mane for Delhi Belly.

Ranbir Kapoor

Rockstar hit the snooze button on Ranbir Kapoor’s shaving schedules. While he did grow something that was more than just a stubble, RK never went for the whole hairy beard. Whatever the case, we can safely vouch that the goatee is something Ranbir needn’t try again…

Shah Rukh Khan

Don 2 may not have been Shah Rukh Khan’s love-child of 2011, but the star did grow a mangy beard for the film. And no, we don’t want a repeat performance of that.

Aamir Khan

Trust Aamir Khan to make his unruly beard-and-earring look enviable even in a suit! While he soon bade goodbye to the chin hair, the handlebar remains for his Talaash look.

Salman Khan

It’s a straight no. The salt-and-pepper goatee does nothing for Salman Khan.

Hrithik Roshan

Hrithik Roshan let his beard show for Kites and Guzaarish. Heck, if you’re as handsome as him, you can braid your moustache and no one would complain!

Emraan Hashmi

Emraan Hashmi won’t keep his chin clean, but he doesn’t let it grow too much either. Though we wonder whether the ladies who smooch the star have ever complained about this…

Abhishek Bachchan

Raavan gave Abhishek Bachchan a chance to grow the mane… and also to show us why he shouldn’t do it. Stubble is best for this Bachchan.

Whose manly mane do you like best?
