Shahrukh almost takes off shirt

NEW DELHI: His new six-pack abs are being hotly discussed, Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan on Saturday almost took his shirt off to prove they were real and not morphed.
    
Khan, who was interacting at a Leadership Summit here, was flooded with questions on his new, fitter look.
    
An audience member asked him if the six-pack abs as seen in the trailer of the soon-to-be-released film 'Om Shanti Om' were real or morphed, prompting the actor to get up and almost take his shirt off.
    
"I do have the six-pack. I can show it to you," said the actor as he moved to unbutton his shirt.
    
The Bollywood heartthrob told the man who asked him the question that he would have certainly removed the shirt had the query been put by a woman.
    
"Your moustache gave you away. Otherwise I would have shown it to you," said the actor who was wearing a white shirt and had tied his hair in a ponytail.
    
Khan also rubbished the idea that his new fitter avatar was a result of any fear of the newcomers in Bollywood.
    
"I am trying to play a young, 2007 film star who has six pack and long hair. I was under no pressure (from the younger actors)," he said responding to a question on the motivation for building his body.
    
"If you think I am scared of being dethroned as the King of Bollywood, I would say shut up," Khan said.
