Bollywood quirks

We often envision our Bollywood idols as the epitome of poise and perfection… immaculate on-screen, flawless off it. But peel back the curtain of stardom, and you’ll find a treasure trove of charming eccentricities. From a soft spot for stuffed animals to a borderline obsession with bathing soaps, these delightful quirks prove that our stars are fabulously human too.

TheGlitz presents: a wickedly fun peek into the whimsical world of Bollywood’s secret oddballs, where macho men who can dig out hand pumps in a jiffy, snuggle teddy bears and Miss Universes’ whisper sweet nothings to pet pythons!

Bollywood’s He Man:

Sunny Deol: The Teddy Bear Titan

Known for his thunderous dialogues… remember his dhai kilo k haath… and action-packed roles where he beats up 10 baddies at the same time, Bollywood’s ‘He Man’ Sunny Deol harbours a surprisingly soft side. According to his son, Rajveer, the actor has a penchant for collecting soft toys, especially teddy bears. His bed is reportedly adorned with these cuddly companions, offering a stark contrast to his on-screen persona. In fact, wherever Sunny goes, he ends up at the soft toy counter, buying countless cute little soft toys.

Salman Khan: The Soap Connoisseur

Salman Khan’s obsession isn’t with fragrances or colognes but with soaps. The actor boasts a collection of soaps from around the world, favouring those made with natural fruit and vegetable extracts. It’s said that he ensures he always smells fresh and unique, thanks to his diverse soap selection .

Ranbir Kapoor: The Superstitious Mis-matched Sock Enthusiast

Ranbir Kapoor’s quirks are as charming as his smile. He has a habit of wearing mismatched socks and is known to be superstitious about it. Additionally, he engages in peculiar rituals, like making wishes upon seeing red mail vans and staying silent until he spots three black cars, a routine he believes brings good luck .

Amitabh Bachchan: The Dual-Time Devotee

The legendary Amitabh Bachchan has a unique way of staying connected with his family. When his children are travelling abroad, he wears two wristwatches set to different time zones to keep track of their local times. This thoughtful gesture underscores his deep familial bonds. We think that’s pretty “watchful” of the Big B.

Ayushmann Khurrana: The Dental Devotee

Ayushmann Khurrana takes dental hygiene to another level. The actor is known to carry a dental kit wherever he goes and brushes his teeth multiple times a day. His commitment to oral cleanliness is both admirable and slightly obsessive. Vicky Donor turns Dental Donor?

Sushmita Sen: The Serpent Sweetheart

Sushmita Sen’s affection for reptiles is well-documented. The former Miss Universe once had a pet python and is known to have a deep fascination with snakes. Her unique interest sets her apart in the world of glamour and glitz.

Shah Rukh Khan: The Gaming Guru

King Khan isn’t just a master of romance on-screen; he’s also a gaming aficionado. Shah Rukh Khan has dedicated an entire floor of his residence, Mannat, to gaming gadgets. His collection is said to be vast, reflecting his passion for the digital realm .

Preity Zinta: The Bathroom Inspector

Before settling into any hotel room, Preity Zinta has a ritual: inspecting the bathroom. The actress is particular about cleanliness and ensures that the facilities meet her standards before she unpacks.

Saif Ali Khan: The Lavatory Librarian

Saif Ali Khan enjoys his reading time so much that he has set up a mini-library in his bathroom. Equipped with a telephone extension, it’s his personal retreat where he can indulge in literature uninterrupted.

Sunny Leone: The Foot Freshness Fanatic

Sunny Leone is known for her impeccable appearance, and part of that involves her feet. The actress reportedly cleans her feet every 15 minutes, even during shoots, ensuring they remain pristine at all times.

TheGlitz & Glam: Bollywood’s Quirky Side

These deliciously oddball habits prove that our favourite stars aren’t just larger-than-life, they’re also gloriously quirky! So the next time you catch them burning up the screen, just remember: somewhere behind that dazzling smile is a drawer full of scented soaps, a bed overflowing with teddy bears, and maybe even a sock rebellion in progress. Because let’s face it… it’s their quirks that turn them from superstars into super-fun legends!
