Shahrukh Khan and his six packs for Om Shanti Om.

Shahrukh Khan has been a special person in my eyes ever since I first saw him.  People listen to his stammer-dialog delivery.  I can sense a passion and an energy missing from Indian life!  While Amitabh Bachchan epitomized the quiet subdued power of anger, Shahrukh goes a notch higher and makes that anger a rage.  A passion that goes beyond words.

I have always mantained that Shahrukh would have succeeded no matter what he did.  When he was studying – he did so very well.  When he played he captained.  Whatever he does, it has his 120% concentration and focus.  He works to win.  Nothing short.  That is why a guy with good but not the most dashing looks, ordinary body (hold on!), and a TV career – made it as a super-star in Bollywood.  Unthinkable combo and act.

Now, Shahrukh at his 40+ age thought of doing something with his body.  And what does he do?  He creates something out of his bland and flat body.. a physique that only a few can match in the Indian cinema!!  Here is a pic (from Sakshi’s blog) of his six packs for his movie – Om Shanti Om (a retro kind of take on the world of bollywood itself!)
