For Bollywood Actors, it’s Been an Abs-olutely Fantastic Year

Abs are the flavour of the season and Parineeti and Katrina’s abs have given people serious fitness goals.

Bollywood has had a good start to the year, what with films like Airlift and Neerja. It brought back asli family pyaar with Kapoor & Sons and Sultan managed to take down Box Office records.

But this year is not just about hits and flops, Box office records or item numbers. It’s about Abs. Abs have made more headlines than the actresses they’re on this year. Basically, they’re this year’s WMD (weapons of mass distraction).

Parineeti Chopra, Katrina Kaif’s abs have given women the drools and have put men to shame. Here’s a tribute to the abs have driven us crazy and given us serious fitness goals.

Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif’s abs could not have chosen a more aptly-named film to make their debut than Baar Baar Dekho, ’cuz all that we are doing is Baar Baar Dekho-ing her sexy, toned body. The makers of the film probably knew that her abs would be the star attraction of the film and wanted to cash in on it. And they were abs-olutely right! Her abs went on to break the Internet more than the upheavals in her personal life.

Parineeti Chopra

Parineeti Chopra’s abs made a Dishoom entry in the film and stunned everyone. The below average song (and that’s putting it mildly) Jaaneman Aah was worth watching only for her abs; even the lip-lock between the two failed to create any buzz. Come to think of it, the song only served to welcome her abs to the industry. There were countless promos and interviews leading up to the song, in all of which Parineeti discussed her diet and abs workout (probably to mask the fact that the song was horrible and needed all the help it could get).

Deepika Padukone

Before the release of xXx trailer, Deepika Padukone was on a roll, releasing her abs workout videos and even ‘behind the scene’ photographs, to get us amped and it worked.

Even Ranveer Singh got excited and he posted a selfie with a cab that had xXx written on it.

And once the trailer was released, we couldn’t wait to watch Deepika in her new kickass form, beating goras in foreign-land. But unfortunately, it felt abs-olutely overhyped and the actor was abs-ent from the teaser and trailer.
