Actor Avinash Tiwary, who shot to fame with his film Laila Majnu (2018) alongside Triptii Dimri, seemingly took a dig at 60-year-old Bollywood actors recently, who flaunt six-pack abs on screen. He emphasised that this trend is largely limited to the Hindi film industry, and is not common in Hollywood or the South. He also questioned why skill and craft aren’t valued and if such visuals add any value.
Avinash Tiwary takes a jibe 60-year-old Bollywood actors with 6-Pack abs
During his recent appearance on Siddharth Kannan’s podcast, Avinash said, “Aapko kahin pe bhi, kisi industry mein… I know I might get flagged for this, par kahin pe bhi 60 saal ke log 6-pack, 8-pack bana ke ghoom rahe hain? Even in Hollywood, Arnold Schwarzenegger is not doing that, Sylvester Stallone… there is no need to. There is no vanity or desirability that needs to be sold off. Not even in the South, why is it only in the Hindi film industry? That is a question we all need to answer.”
