From Ramp to Reel

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Extra Shot of Chai, we’re turning the spotlight on the men who walked so Bollywood’s gym heroes could run, the original models-turned-actors. From John Abraham’s brooding biker charm to Arjun Rampal’s smoldering intensity, Dino Morea’s pretty-boy era, and Milind Soman’s forever “Made in India” glow-up, we’re talking about the golden age of the male supermodel who tried to take over the silver screen.We’re breaking down who made it big, who faded too soon, and why some of these faces defined an entire aesthetic of early 2000s cool, leather jackets, slow walks, and all. Some found real staying power; others got lost in the spotlight they helped create.Was it talent, timing, or just great lighting? Grab your chai as we revisit the ramp, the reels, and the men who redefined what it meant to look like a Bollywood hero.VOWs: ESOC Poll Pick: Gehrua Hua from DhurandharKavi: Sitaare from IkkisMunni: Raata Lambiyan by AP Dhillon and Shinda Khalonhttps://www.extrashotofchai.comFollow & Like us at: Insta: @ExtrashotofChaiTikTok: @ExtrashotofChaiiFollow our VOWs Playlist on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3Jha2oVTveTNfSIUjX1qYy?si=974b57045cb94ad1Disclaimer: Don’t come for us, Bollywood —  The views in this episode are our personal opinions — not facts, not endorsements, just our CineMasala spin.
