The bestest (real and make-believe) dads
Today (June 19) is Father's Day and we have put together a very unique slide show – a tribute to dads across the world.
We begin with make-belief dads – the results of a survey conducted just before Father's Day shows just who we can't wait to see as dads – a tad surprising since neither are anywhere close to being hitched!
Then, we revisit some of the endearing fathers in showbiz in India and we end all the way in Hollywood, with the results of another survey- this one on most stylish Hollywood dads. Insanely gorgeous Brad Pitt ranks at 10 and that's just one of the surprises!
To all fathers out there – Happy Father's Day.

In a survey conducted just ahead of Father's Day, India has voted for Salman Khan as ‘The Most Ideal Celebrity Father Figure'. So what if he is also Bollywood's longest-standing bachelor?

Well there is not much Rajini-can't do, and the superstar is quite the super-dad too. His daughters Aishwarya and Soundarya are always by his side. This Father's Day shouldn't be too different, especially now that Rajinikanth is out of the hospital and convalescing.

Anil Kapoor has been the doting father in real life, supporting daughters Sonam and Rhea.

Reformed actor Sanjay Dutt is now proud father to twins Shahraan and Iqra.
Earlier this year, Sanjay Dutt had tweeted: Can't take my eyes off my little angels..my little princess is the love of my life..my son my rock star. Just can't thank enough to god.
The actor also has a daughter Trishala from an earlier marriage to the late Richa Sharma. -
Rakesh Roshan is father to Hrithik and Sunaina. While father and son have collaborated successfully in front of the camera, behind it, there are rumours of all not being well between them. Apparently Hrithik's ‘closeness' to a certain Ms Mori was part of the reason, but since she is no longer in the picture, we hope the Roshans have resolved their differences.

Apne was a superhit family drama with all-encompassing emotions, comedy and action. But none of that would be possible if Dharmendra hadn't been acting with his apne - sons Sunny and Bobby. Their bond shines through on screen.
Dharam is large-hearted and warm-hearted with daughters Esha and Ahana, as per their own admission. Speaking of her father, Esha Deol has often said he is very protective towards them. Esha Deol will soon be sharing space on screen with her dad in Tell Me O Kkhuda. The film is due to release next month. -
On the other side of the world, Orlando Bloom has been voted the most stylish dad in a new poll to mark Father's Day.
The British actor, who has a five-month-old son Flynn with model wife Miranda Kerr, took the lead with 71 per cent votes. We couldn't agree more - Bloom is quite the dishy dad. -
The British footballer and his wife Victoria, parents to Brooklyn (12), Romeo (9) and Cruz (6), are now expecting a girl. With the number of covers and centerfolds dedicated to David Beckham, along with hot brand endorsements, there is no questioning his rank on any style list.

Though Johnny Depp stayed away from marriage, his commitment to partner Vanessa Paradis showed through with their two children Lily-Rose (12) and John aka Jack (9).
