Sunny Deol opens up on male actors going shirtless, hairy-chested; says, “You should not be ashamed of what you are”

-

Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol recently discussed male beauty standards and the trend of going shirtless in films. They attributed this practice to their father, Dharmendra, who set the precedent for male actors baring their torsos on screen for storytelling purposes. They also reflected on how the portrayal of the male physique has evolved over time.

In a recent interview with SCREEN, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol were shown a photo of a shirtless, hairy-chested Sunny and asked for their thoughts on male beauty. Bobby remarked, “It started with my dad. I remember Phool Aur Patthar, and it wasn’t about showing his body. It was about what the character was going through. He removed his shirt because there was an old lady sitting there… It was so amazing, that scene. Bhaiya would know more about it because papa would’ve explained to you…”

Sunny Deol elaborated, “In the sequence, papa is drunk and the old lady is shivering. His character is a drunk, he’s a robber, he was an anti-hero. He sees this lady who is shivering, so he just takes off his shirt and puts it on her. It was just a matter of fact.”

When asked about the changing beauty standards for men and the perception that hairy chests are no longer considered “aesthetic,” Bobby Deol admitted, “Yes, I’m waxed. I actually have less hair growth.” Meanwhile, Sunny Deol encouraged men to embrace their natural appearance without shame and cautioned against using shortcuts like steroids to build muscles.

Sunny Deol added, “I have nothing against what people are doing. I have nothing against youngsters; it becomes a fashion and they follow it. But you should not be ashamed of what you are and how you are. Manliness isn’t about having hair on your chest or not, it’s about the strength within.”

“I would advise youngsters, you do sports, you do weight training because you enjoy it. You don’t want to become a bodybuilder. Don’t try to take shortcuts with steroids. Stay away. It’ll build you up, right, but later on it’s going to affect your health very badly,” the actor mentioned.

After playing in theatres for 10 days, the Salman Khan starrer Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has entered the Rs. 100 Crore Club. It has taken a while for the film to reach here since pre-pandemic it was an entirely different scenario where Salman Khan starrers were scoring as much in their opening weekend itself. However, these are different times and hence the kind of momentum that was evidenced for films in 2019 or before is just not coming in. Yes, there are exceptions like Pathaan or Brahmastra but then those have a different kind of pitch and aren’t regular affairs. This can be seen in the way how collections are coming for the Farhad Samji directed film in the second weekend, what with Sunday collections staying low at Rs. 3.50 crores. For a big holiday release, one would have been expecting a double digit score at the bare minimum on second Sunday but then that has hardly happened for any film during last 18 odd months ever since Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi opened theatres aga...
