You thought only big screen dudes had six-pack abs and rippling muscles?
Wrong! Take a closer look at the posterboys of the soap box and you'll see them make the adrenaline rush with fab abs, cool tattoos, shirtless scenes! Every male heartthrob, from Ronit Roy, Hussain Kuwajerwala, Karan Hukku, Iqbal Khan to Saurabh Panday and Karan Singh Grover seem to be taking their fitness regime seriously and are sweating it out at gyms, pumping iron and flaunting their well-toned bodies.
On stage shows and awards nights, small screen's male stars are sure giving their 70mm counterparts a run for their physique (pun intended). Fitness is at such a premium that even Ekta Kapoor has asked actors like Hiten Tejwani, Shabbir Ahluwalia and Chetan Hansraj to get 'gym toned' bodies for her new magnum opus soap opera.
Ronit Roy at 42, has just shed a few kilos and is looking trimmer and fitter than ever. Actor Mohit Mallik even took off his shirt for a scene in a prime time daily, Karan Singh Grover and Hussain have made the ganjee something of a style statement as they flaunt their biceps.
Flaunting toned bodies is new for television actors and some of them told us it was tough to stay in shape, given the demanding nature of their work. Chetan hits the gym dutifully at nine am and works out for 45 minutes daily. He says, "Even the television audience profile is changing and no one minds it when a male actor does a shirtless scene. If Hrithik Roshan and Salman Khan can do it in films, why can't we?" For 19-year-old actor Saurabh Pandey, a fitness freak, "work out accounts for 20 per cent of the fitness factor, and the other 80 per cent is about diet".
Looking good and fit is important for everyone on television. Model-turned-actor Abhiman Ballhara feels it is the 'diet' that does wonders for him, "It is hard to build biceps. You can have a good body but not a toned one. I think I am lucky," he says.
And now that a majority of telly buffs are younger people, fit and agile actors are definitely eye-candy. "You see, a huge chunk of television watchers are women, so to win them over looking fit, matters," quips Abhiman.
In a world of make-belief, no one minds sculpted bodied handsome dream men! Especially if they can come to your boudoir every night.
