The manicure men

A couple of weeks ago, when Siddhartha Mallya held a press conference to announce the Hunt for the Kingfisher Calendar Girl, he showed up in a dapper jacket, Ray-Bans hung casually at his neck, and indigo jeans so tight and tapering, he could have borrowed them from show mentor Lisa Haydon. Actor Prateik – all muscles, dimples and smooth chest – has been taking his V-necked T-shirts lower and lower and a whole nation of ladies is probably waiting to one day see his belly button. Imran Khan steps out in funky socks. And those boys from Student Of The Year, they’re so clean shaven, so wholesomely hairless, that they may well have been manufactured in the Mattel factory.
