Sensitive avatar, steal the show

Though his grim intensity blazed the screen and stole the show in Rakesh Roshan's 'Karan Arjun', it was his romantic humorous, yet quite sensitive avatar that Bollywood set out to explore. One of the best results of this exploration was 'Khamoshi', Sanjay Leela Bhansali's directorial debut.

Please explain to me the emboldened parts.

Also, I wonder what they mean by "stole the show" too. I guess it means "He was the star of the show".

I suppose that 'avatar' here means screen persona. 'Sensitive' = easily affected by one's emotions and those of others. 'Steal the show' = give an outstanding performance, especially when one is not a featured performer.
