The ‘Dabangg’ star Salman Khan soon will be 57! Thanks to his fitness addiction, the superstar doesn’t look a day older than 25. Over the years we have seen Salman Bhai grow from a reckless lad to the humblest and most generous Bollywood star of the century.
Right from his ‘Being Human’ initiative for underprivileged children to helping newbies find a place in Bollywood; the star has always walked the extra mile. Bollywood stars like Katrina Kaif, Sooraj Pancholi, Aayush Sharma, Daisy Shah, and Athiya Shetty owe their success to Sallu Bhai.
Some say Salman Khan is style-less while we would contradict it by saying that he is full of ‘eternal style’. The Chulbul Pandey of Bollywood exudes a timeless style quotient that has transcended time and fashion faux pas.
We have to give to Salman Khan for giving us some real fashion goals in the three decades of his Bollywood career. Take a look at Bhaijaan’s stylish accessories that have influenced men’s fashion trends over the years.
1- The Turquoise Chain Bracelet
There’s not one Salman Khan in the world who doesn’t know about the infamous bracelet. Salman Khan is never spotted in public without his silver chain bracelet adorned with an enormous turquoise stone in the middle.
The bracelet was first spotted on Salman’s wrist in the film ‘Jai Ho’. The star claims to have received the bracelet from his father Salim Khan as a present.
2- Black leather jacket
Some would say that King Shahrukh Khan is the eternal black leather jacket guy, but we believe Salman started the trend before anyone else. Salman Khan’s was first spotted wearing the leather jacket in the song Dil Deewana from the movie Maine Pyar Kiya.
The superstar is often seen dressing casually but when it comes to layering up, Chulbul Pandey always reaches for a black leather jacket. The black leather continues to be a winter essential for all of us.
3- Ripped jeans
Fashion lovers would agree that ripped jean is the ultimate fashion choice on days when you want to keep it low-key but stylish and sexy.
The ripped jeans were looked down upon in India until the top star Salman Khan donned tattered jeans in the iconic ‘Oh Oh Jaane Jana’ song. The ‘Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya’ actor rocked the shirtless with a ripped jean look which continues to steal hearts even today.
4- Dabangg sunglasses
Ray-Ban aviator’s trend picked up rapidly when Salman Khan first donned them in 2010 for his role of ‘Chulbul Pandey’ in ‘Dabangg’. Salman Khan made the classic aviators all the sexier with his quirky style of hanging the glasses behind his neck.
Sallu Bhai looked sexy and suave dressed as a policeman, fighting goons while still maintaining that million-dollar smile. The aviator style still has so many of you hooked to it.
Over-the-top suits
Salman Khan is known to stick to his simple personal style but when it comes to suiting up, the star likes to explore the riskier areas.
Salman Khan has donned the quirkiest suit colors like yellow, pink, red, and all shades of blue. Salman’s Bigg Boss style is also a testament to how different his ‘formal style’ is. Sallu Bhai is often spotted wearing sequins, patchwork, and embroidered suits at his famous ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ episodes.
Six-pack abs
Not as much as about fashion but six-pack abs became a raging trend after Salman took off his shirt for ‘O O Jaane Jana’ song. Salman Khan brought the fitness obsession in India with his chiseled frame and muscular structure.
Even today, at the age of 56 the ‘Baghban’ star can put up a winning fight against men half his age. Such is the beauty of his body that not only women but men also go gaga for him.
On the work front, Salman is currently riding high on the success of his latest release ‘Antim: The Final Truth’ where he adopts turban look handsome hunk Sardar cop, who won the hearts through this gangster drama directed by his friend filmmaker-actor Mahesh Manjrekar.
