If there’s a nip-slip or a topless incident on or off the catwalk, it gets ALL the attention of the Bollywood paparazzi. Unfortunately, the poor belles of Bollywood often face the worst of these. Plus, this is followed by full-throttle ranting on social media about the mishap. Often more embarrassing than the actual event!
Admit it, every time you’ve thought about a “wardrobe malfunction,” hasn’t the image of poor Carol Gracias come to your mind? Or even Yana Gupta‘s missing lingerie? And how could we forget Parineeti Chopra‘s splitting stitches?
So we’ve decided that it’s only fair we also point out that the boys have had their share of malfunctions – wardrobe or otherwise! From unwanted kisses to peeping pant holes, here are our top 5 Bollywood Man Malfunctions.
1. Varun Dhawan’s Leggy Lift.
The latest talk of the town is Varun Dhawan, who is probably not the best person to sweep a woman off her feet. At the trailer launch of Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, Varun, in all his excitement, swooped up pretty little Alia Bhatt, only to realize later that his butter fingers allowed Alia’s kurta to rise high and show a little panty line through the sheer fabric of her Punjabi shalwar. Oopsy.
2. RICHARD GERE, OH DEAR!
Remember when Richard Gere, out for an AIDS awareness drive, swiftly back-bent Shilpa Shetty for a tight kiss on the cheek, much to everyone’s shock? Poor Shilpa did her best at damage control by claiming Richard didn’t know a single word of Hindi, only that India loves its music and dance moves and was perhaps trying to show off his own. After that, India never saw Richard “Gere” himself back into town.
Like Shilpa said, “yeh thoda jhyado ho gaya tha.” LOL.
3. AKSHAY, UNBUTTONED.
Twinkle Khanna is undoubtedly stunning but Akshay Kumar needed to keep his fantasies a little more private. At Lakmé Fashion Week in 2009, we saw Akshay gesture his wife to open the button-fly of his jeans.
It may have been a clever teaser for his Levi’s Unbuttoned campaign but nobody seemed to get it at the time. Instead, he was accused of acting obscene in public!
4. MIKA’S BIRTHDAY MISS-HAP.
Mika Singh didn’t wait for his birthday wish to come true after he blew out the candles. Instead, he jumped right on Rakhi Sawant and grabbed a quick smooch! In fact the cheeky fellow even wrote a song about it!
5. UDAY CHOPRA’S TWITTER MELTDOWN.
Aside from the malfunction that is his career (sorry UC!) we find Uday Chopra‘s frequent Twitter rants endlessly entertaining. Don’t you? Remember that one time he was being creepy in a bar somewhere?
We can’t erase these images from our malfunction memory. Tell us about the ones that made you cringe or the ones you couldn’t stop laughing at in the comments below!
