Saif was once a 'Pretty Boy!'

Boy, was that a shocker. I just saw an old film he did in 1993 called "Imtihan", with Ravenna Tandon and Sunny Deol.

I was so stunned I had to watch it twice. I could hardly believe my eyes!! Saif Ali Khan was a pretty boy with thick lashes. I liked his hair.

But know he is way older and tends to wear crew cuts.

His acting is good but He doen't look hot at all, but he was splendid in "Parineeta". Liked the way he carried himself, and in "Race".

God, he and Sanjay Duitt, look nothing like they did when they were young, and I don't mean the body, I mean the face.

Yeah, that's what kilograms of steroids, obscene obsession with pumped-up physiques, artificial hair-weaves, endless botox shots and tens of regular facelifts do. The price of being a filmstar in a nation obsessed with appearance, youth and narrow-minded view of what's good looking, cool and yes, young.

I gotta agree with the original poster, I was kinda shocked at how much botox Saif appears to have had since Eklavya, which is the last movie he looked like himself in. He can deny it all he wants, but it's so obvious in Love Aaj Kal that he's had something injected around the eye area and frankly it looked awful.

WHY??? He is a good looking, mature man (or rather was) - thank God botox wears off after a while. He's only 40 years old, that's hardly ancient.
