With Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt around, falling in love becomes easier than making cup noodles. They’re both undisputed champs of the college crowd. One mention of Shahid or Alia and the ShaAlians (that’s what fans of Shahid, Alia and Shaandaar are calling themselves) will let out a roar that could crack social media codes in an instant. They are the most popular young actors out there. Breaking the Internet and garnering RTs and likes is commonplace in the lives of these two good-looking movie stars.

Alia is the princess of the marquee. She’s barely 22 but her allure has captivated every filmmaker and movie buff in the country. Prodigy is an inadequate adjective. She’s really made a name for herself as an actor. With Alia on board you automatically think two things. Good reviews and great box-office. It’s not a common combination. It’s something yesteryear stars would trade more than a limb for. But the young Bhatt lass has done it. She’s an artiste extraordinaire.

Shahid has always been popular. Shanatics have been around forever, their screams and sighs have echoed long before the corridors of the Internet became mainstream. But ever since Haider, he’s hit a purple patch. He’s not just a star, not just a capable actor. He now stands for a perfect marriage of stardom and cinematic finesse. That he’s recently tied the knot with Mira Rajput only adds to his persona. People are now looking forward to seeing more of Prince Charming.
