Indian slang for a bold, swagger-filled attitude — the kind of confident, larger-than-life energy you see in Bollywood heroes who walk in slow motion, look impossibly cool, and never back down from a challenge. 'Heropanti' describes someone who acts like the main character in their own movie: fearless, showy, and utterly sure of themselves. It can be used admiringly for genuine confidence or mockingly for someone who is putting on a performance of toughness. Either way, it's got serious masala.
