Karan Tacker - ah,the female gaze.

Lean and waxed, TV's male stars are not shying away from baring it for women.

I caught a small report the other day on Saas, Bahu... something or the other, one of several behind-the-scenes programmes that keep television audiences acutely apprised of the absolute latest on the saas-bahu soaps and other popular television. The reporters were laughing, albeit with warm sympathy, at the plight of actor Karan Tacker, the lead star of Star One's Rang Badalti Odhani. In the eternal search for higher TRPs😆, Tacker was being filmed singing and dancing in a towel ' a straight rip-off from Ranbir Kapoor's caper in Saawariya. The actor was bashful, not least because the producers had shrewdly, if inconsiderately, invited a phalanx of television and other reporters to the shoot.😆 The well muscled Tacker, who has stripped before for television, although never quite so comprehensively, was apparently told that the channel's ratings tended to shoot up whenever he dropped his clothes.
