I've always maintained that Salman Khan Fans are in a class of their own. Bhai can do anything and they will steadfastly stand behind him. His films may be bad enough to border on the execrable, but the loyalists will stoutly defend them. His haircuts, clothes, trademark bracelet, and mannerisms are all faithfully copied. This fan decided to imitate his unique shirtless look and lip-synch to his songs – and found himself arrested. Take a look:
…And total disregard for road rules or other road users. Sounds familiar. So this guy makes reels for social media – swaggering shirtless on the streets of Lucknow. Why? Because Bhai!
Hardly! A bare chest and loads of swagger do not make Salman, pointed out some.
Sasta Duplicate Salman was picked up by the police and arrested for disturbing the peace.
The guy may not have much of a sense of timing and his dancing may be of strikingly modest quality but this doesn’t deter him. In this video, there are others around who are clearly fascinated by the shirtless display.
Azam Ansari, is a diehard fan of Bhai, but there are those who would rather not have to see him dancing on the streets in the middle of traffic.
Several of his videos are circulating on social media – clearly his ten minutes of fame! So what if it means spending a little time in jail
He may also not have Bhai’s painstakingly sculpted body, but what he doesn’t have, he makes up for in confidence.
The guy is in a police station flanked by a bunch of guys in khaki but seems completely unperturbed by the prospect of being thrown in jail.
The bandana and the shirtless swagger are all very well. But what’s with the rather feminine looking shoes, this commenter wanted to know.
Of course there were bound to be a few people who would point out Bhai’s past sins – committed when behind the wheel of a car in an inebriated state.
There may be some thanking the UP police for keeping this clown off the streets. Azam Ansari, aka Duplicate Salman would be thanking the same policemen for making him famous. If they had ignored Lucknow's dancing Salman, he would likely have disappeared into oblivion. As it is, Ansari’s story is finding column space in some leading publications. Streisand effect much?
