Salman, Shahrukh, John...Meet The Hot Heads Of Bollywood

They can hurl abuses and blows but you still wouldn’t find more honest and good men around in this industry. Shubarna Mukerji Shu gives her salaam to B-town’s favourite hot-heads!

Here’s a trade secret: no one likes to ask the first question to Bhai at a press conference! The simple truth of the matter is that Salman Khan’s mood could swing fast, and sometimes even within the course of the Q&A, so everyone is a little wary. In Bhai’s defense, the root of the problem lies in how cumbersome he finds fools. He would not suffer their presence gladly. While that doesn’t speak highly of the scribe population, it does singularly rule out warm-up questions at press-cons. Before we discuss this further, let’s first establish the fact that this is not a Bhai-phenomenon. All the old timers are of the same school of thought. Deep down, they hate the microphone and would love to simply chat up people without being put on record. The new lot is a whole different story - under heavy doses of PR lessons, they are diplomats in rather fetching garbs. They too would probably want to shake a few people till their teeth rattled but they will not give into the urge. We are however discussing those who have succumbed to this temptation. Yet these hotheaded heartthrobs have one thing in common - each has a heart of gold. Their intentions cannot be questioned, though the doses in which they mete out ‘justice’ are debatable.
