A bum bag is a small fabric pouch secured with a zipper and worn at the waist fastened with a strap around the hips. It has different names like fanny pack (Canada, US), belt pack (US), belly bag (US), buffalo pouch (US), hip sack (US) and hip pack (UK).
A source says, "Shahid has been wearing bum bags ever since his debut film, Ishq Vishk in 2003."
Although Shahid has worked really hard to have the perfect physique and has also managed to put on some weight in certain parts, his near-flat backside continues to worry him. "He has been unable to put on weight on his hips. Actually, he has a very lean and boyish structure," adds the source.
Incidentally, Shahid does not wear bum bags at home. "He arrives on the sets very casually. But, once he enters his vanity van, he makes sure that he wears bum bags in every single shot," says the source.
Must say we are quite impressed with your quest for perfection, Shahid.
