They say that some men age like wine. It is particularly true when it comes to Bollywood actors. We don’t know if you’ve have noticed this or not, but these Bollywood hunks start off as awkward young men and then a few years down the line, they magically become much more attractive. Because everyone knows, in B-town, besides acting skills, looks do matter. The actors have to push themselves hard to be in the game and grab roles in movies. And their hard work is paid by good looks and fit bodies. Check out these 50-plus Bollywood actors whose perfectly chiseled bodies could put young gym buffs to shame.
Milind Soman
Whenever his name comes up, we time travel to the 90s when this tall, dark and handsome guy featured in the song Made in India. What hasn’t changed over the years is his ability to make women fall head over heels with the way he looks. 51-year-old Milind Soman aka Iron-Man (he completed the Ironman Triathlon in Zurich, that required a person to do a 3.8 km swim, a 180.2 km cycle ride and a 42.2 km run, which had to be finished without a break in 16 hours, to get the title of Ironman) says there is a lot of hard work and dedication with a topping of his personal charm that makes him look the way he does. His workout regimen includes cycling, swimming and running barefoot and he has never used the gym for fitness. Wow!

His toned physique has been an inspiration to many young Bollywood actors and helped actors like Arjun Kapoor and Zarine Khan to shed many kilos. This 51-year old actor works out for 2-hour or more on a daily basis supplemented with a rich protein diet. He also likes to go for cycling and performs as many as 1000 push ups per day.
