This is a re-posted post, but I don’t have time for a new one because I have to run around and go to Tiger Zinda Hai with my family (I think Salman would approve of both seeing his new movie and the family time). And anyway, I don’t think it is possible to improve on the post I did for his birthday last year.
First, I’m just going to jump in with a whole assortment Maine Pyar Kiya pics. Because those are clearly the best ones.
Okay, I feel kind of weird posting all those photos of a college kid character without his shirt (and Salman in real life when he was years younger than I am now). Let’s check out one where he is all mature and glasses wearing. But still without a shirt.
Notice there is still some very very faint stubble here. Now, I am STRONGLY of the opinion that Salman looks better with hair on his chest then with this new smooth waxed look. See? This is just WRONG!
Notice how his chest looks the same as all of the adorable small children surrounding him? See, it would be much better if he had hair!
Speaking of small children, shirtless with a baby!
And a slightly bigger baby!
And, in a complete change of pace, shirtless with a gun
Shirtless with a cigarette
Shirtless painting
Shirtless with his father!
Shirtless with his mother (awwww!)
Shirtless with a guitar isn’t bad! Although I don’t know about the shredded pants.
And then there’s this one, which is almost a girly pin-up version, one of those “Oh, I didn’t see you there! You have caught me unprepared” kind of poses.
And another one! That is even more so!
And finally this one, where we can admire the presence of stubble as he shyly looks away from the camera.
Now, to end, these nice simple basic shirtless shot. See, this is all we need! No oil, no fancy jewelry, no big poses, just a nice basic body with no shirt.
And full length.
Another one!
And another, also with the formerly worn shirt draped over his shoulders to sort of add context.
Another similar one, he doesn’t even have to take of his shirt! Well, “shirt”.
This is of course my all time favorite photo of Salman. Which manages to be both sexy and funny at the same time. “sexy” because, well, look at him! And funny because that pose, plus the undone button on his pants is just so so so so much!
Now, for our Friday Discussion:
Which Shirtless Salman era is your favorite?
Young and lean and hairy
Young and lean and no hair
Older and muscles on muscles
For myself , I would vote for young and lean and no hair, I think:
I look forward to an enlivening intellectual discussion on this important issue! Oh, and also, if I missed a classic shirtless shot, feel free to post it in the comments. Just go down a line, paste in the link to the image, and then down another line, and that will display it.

I think I’m with you – young, lean and no hair.

I always thought Maine Pyar Kiya was the best Salman, but I think I have matured out of that and grown to appreciate his slightly later period. Somehow the Maine Pyar Kiya version just feels ever so slightly adolescent, whereas I now crave a fully grown man.

I vote for young, lean and hair, please. I like men with secondary sexual characteristics. I have to admit, tho, when I saw the post title I thought you were going to talk about his eyes 😆

His eyes, though beautiful, are clearly not his best feature.
Also, were you reading at the time I posted this TGIF? It came after a minor revolution fomented in the comments over the tragic lack of chest hair:

Well, there is an argument that the Anil Kapoor photo is photoshopped, which managed to restoreth my soul.

Shirtless Salman with guitar is probably the only happy memory of topless Salman that I have. And that too because that’s from the song Oh Oh Jane Jana which is from one of the least obnoxious of all Salman-must-be-topless-a-lot films.
And it was a fun film.
Maine Pyar Kiya topless Salman looks like the lanky older cousins from my childhood memories — I can never ever see that as sexy! Yuck!
Oiled up Salman looks like he’s ready to jump into a ring for WWE! 😂 or put a a mask on him and he’d look like a lucha libra fighter!! 😂

Yes! This is my realization! I have finally aged out of Maine Pyar Kiya Salman! I know he was like 22-23-24 in real life, fully grown and all that, but there is still something slightly puppyish about it which makes me feel like a gross older woman.
