For a few days, the whole Bollywood world has been buzzing after the publishing of this photo from Farah Khan’s next release Happy New Year:
A pack of six Khans…
Shah Rukh Khan proudly showed this on Twitter, adding with his usual false-humility that he was shy speaking about his body. He doesn’t seem shy about showing it!
However, this muscle trend is not new! It was launched two decades ago by Sanjay Dutt, but it is Salman Khan who really built his success on weight-training machines and became the godfather of body-building. Now, the 6 pack virus has spread in B-town: the stronger, the sexier, the more hairless, the better!
The web-debate is raging on Twitter, facebook and other, to know if Shah Rukh’s 6, 8 or 10 packs (whatever!) are real! Fake, photoshops, cocktails of anabolic steroids, hours and hours of weight-lifting, will-power, Divine grace, everybody is speculating but the only thing that everybody is sure about is that Shah Rukh Khan has changed beyond recognition!
Strangely enough, the fans are dazzled with admiration, very few seem to be bothered by this superficial craziness. As for me; let’s be franck; King Khan’s new body reminds me of a dead cockroach lying on its back under a kitchen cupboard!
Between you and me, I don’t understand that excitement for cheese graters! While young wolves such as Varun Dhawan, Ranveer Singh or Tiger Shroff can show off their oily chests (and the rest!) onscreen, older actors -we won’t call them « veteran actors » yet, they’re so moving trying hard to look like still virgin Adonis – desperately busy themselves turning their middle-aged love handles into Mr India’s bumpy torsos!
High Tec Body!
The result is becoming pathetic: some actors jeopardize their health in the gyms – are Hrithik and Salman’s serious brain problems a mysterious coincidence? – and filmsmakers make fools of them by using softwares enabled to make them look like Hulk after his transformation! By the way, I won’t talk to you about Aamir Khan in Ghajini, I prefer to forget this puzzling mistake.
Well, what else can I say? These men that one calls « spornosexual » (I let you analize this word by yourselves! Hum…) have now invaded Bollywood films! Although some actors still resist the fashion and make acting their priority; we must face the facts, sisters; we have found serious competitors in the race for diets, waxing and beauty tricks!
