Salman Khan Reveals The Reason Behind Starting The Shirtless Trend With 'Oh Oh Jaane Jaana'

Salman Khan is getting ready for his Eid movie, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, to come out. He took off his shirt recently to shut down trolls who said that the actor's six-pack abs were great VFX. Bhaijaan showed off his well-toned abs and told the crowd that they weren't fake or made with pictures.

Fans love it when Salman takes off his shirt. But do you know how and when this started to be popular? Even though he didn't wear a shirt in his first movie, Maine Pyar Kiya, it became popular in the late 1990s.

In the movie Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, the song "Oh Oh Jane Jaana," which Salman Khan sang shirtless, shocked the crowd. But the real reason Khan took off his shirt for this song is pretty funny.

During a show, the character who played Sultan told the story behind the song he sang without a shirt on. Salman told the funny story on the Zee TV show Saregamapa, where he was promoting his movie Antim. Sohail Khan was in charge of the movie Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya.

In Madh Island, the team had to film for the famous song "Oh, Jane Jaana." Salman Khan says, “I had build muscles at that time. Vikram Phadnis was the designer for the film. WHen he brought my shirts on set, they all fitted like a blouse on my body. New costumes would have taken time. So, I decided to shoot it without a shirt and the director, Sohail, agreed.”

Salman also said, “When we saw the shots, all of us liked it and we decided to keep it as it is.” So his taking off his shirt on TV was not something that was planned. Later, the ‘Tiger’ star made it a trend to take off his shirt once in most of his movies.

But in a chat with Rajat Sharma, the actor who plays Sultan had an interesting thing to say about his shirtless trend. On his appearance on ‘Aap Ki Adalat’, the actor said that he hopes his chiseled body will inspire fans to work out and not spend their nights drinking and doing things that will hurt their bodies in the long run.
