There’s something about the Bhai of Bollywood that makes us go weak in the knees. Is it his ultra-swag? His ripped body? His macho-meets-goofiness attitude? His star power? Well, we really can’t say.

Whatever it is, we absolutely love Superman Salman. With the bad boy of Bollywood turning 50 in a couple of days, we shower our love on him by telling you why he is our favorite…read on:

The original ‘ab’ man:  

Before every Tom, Dick and Harry started flaunting their six and eight packs, Salman was removing his shirt and wooing his heroines. He’s the original ab man, who was comfortable showing his body off on the big screen.

His macho avatar:  

Movies have always been an escapist medium, where we lose ourselves to immerse in the glamour and glitz of celebs. Even though plot-rich films are necessary, massy movies make us gaga for sure. Sallu is the baap of macho movies, who can kick ass like no other. 

Larger-than-life:  

His life is an open book, which his fans love and respect. He is also a larger-than-life figure who can sort any issue with just a flick of his fingers. Perhaps, we think of him as an extension of our fantasies. Whatever it is, we love him to bits. 

Generous:  

The whole of the world might brand him as a bad boy, but at the core, he is a generous human who believes in sharing. There are numerous stories of him gifting luxurious gifts to his friends, helping his staff out, and launching newcomers, who do not have a godfather in the industry. Through various charities and his brand Being Human, he gives back to the society. We generally don’t think of stars as givers, but when a celeb goes out his/her way, we fall in love some more.

Dance:  

We know he doesn’t move like a trained dancer, but then who can make a towel dance look so cool?? Salman has his own style and we cannot agree more that his moves are one of the most popular ones at parties!

We know you all love Sallu too. Show him some love via the comments section below.
