Salman, Shah Rukh and now Saif! Its Abs-salute madness
Salman Khan started the trend years ago. Shah Rukh Khan jumped on the bandwagon with Om Shanti Om and now Saif Ali Khan is in the Race claiming I ‘Khan’ too.
So what are we talking about? Abs…six pack! That is what Bollywood stars wear these days on the screen, not shirts.
They don’t play roles any more, they fit into them helped by designers and trainers.
The leading ladies still keep their chests covered. Well, most of them. So they name drop their designers while the men talk about their trainers.
So if it’s Neeta Lulla for Aishwarya Rai it is Prashant Sawant for Shah Rukh.
’Race’ film stills
In between their shots the actors don’t practice their dialogs. Why would they need to - the dialogs are ’sadak chaap’. Instead they do pushups and crunches so that their muscles ripple when the camera rolls again.
Even Aamir Khan is now ready to be counted amidst the ‘Kool Khan Klan.’
For his role in the yet-untitled Ghajini remake he has already worked up six-pack-abs. Before he faces the camera he will not only shave his chest but also his head!
Nothing like a shaven head to go with a shaven chest and six packs! That could well be the new trend.
