PIX: Bollywood's hairy heroes come clean!

Bollywood's heroes go from bushy to buttery smooth!

Hair today, gone tomorrow.

And we aren’t talking about bald men but Bollywood's new fad -- waxed torsos.

Gone are the days when brawny superheroes like Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan felt a hairy chest added to their masculinity.

Nowadays everyone wants to flaunt a sleek and sexy upper body.

Here's looking at Bollywood's famous tough guys who've switched from bushy to buttery smooth.

Salman Khan

No actor has flashed his beefy body as much as Salman Khan.

And while we’ve seen enough glimpses of his clean shaven abs, do you remember Maine Pyaar Kiya's lean framed, light chest hair sporting Prem?

So then folks, how do you like your Sallu?

Magazines exploited his red-blooded male appeal by splashing several shirtless covers in the 1990s. Filmmakers followed suit.

Personally, we think Akshay Kumar cleans up real nice.

One of Bollywood's most fashion forward hunks proved he's ahead of the game when it comes to physique-related trends as well.

The Munnabhai MBBS hero was one of the first actors to get rid of all the body hair.

Ageing in reverse comes naturally to some celebrities.

And the chocolate faced Aamir Khan is quite a shiny example of this possibility.

Check out Bollywood's most bankable superstar in his 20s sporting an average physique and harmless body hair pitched against his own 40-something, sculpted, shaven, six-pack loaded intensity. 

Unlike most action heroes who never leave a single opportunity to take off their shirt, Ajay Devgn resisted any such urge to show off his bulky biceps or bushy bust for a long time.

Clearly, the star of Golmaal and Singham has had a change of heart (and chest) since then.

Though butt of several 'ape' references for a significant chunk of his career, Anil Kapoor surprisingly never shied from showing off his seriously hairy anatomy on big screen.

About him turning a new, clean shaven leaf we can only be thankful.

When you're as gorgeous as Hrithik Roshan, it doesn't matter if the whole six-package comes with hair or without.

Agree, yes?

It's hard to pay attention on anything Vivek Oberoi besides his foot-in-the-mouth syndrome.

Yet, here we are comparing snapshots of his mildly hairy torso with a completely waxed one. 

Now if he only he wasn't sporting Sana Saeed‘s 'Anjali' haircut in the latter.
