With just 2 days to go for Salman’s birthday, we take a look at 5 reasons why nobody can replace him as Prem…
Before we start, did you know that in the course of his acting career Salman has played a character named Prem 15 times! Yes, we ain’t kidding, be it Prem Kapoor or Prem Oberoi, Prem Malhotra or Prem Bhopali, Salman has 15 roles to his credit wherein he has breathed life into a character called Prem! Soon he will be playing Prem yet again in Sooraj Barjatya’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. So what makes Salman and Salman only the perfect choice to be Prem, let’s find out!
The gentle eyes:
Salman is a gentle soul in real life and even when he has to play a kind character, his generosity of spirit translates on screen! Salman can light up every frame as Prem, just by talking with his gentle eyes! He may seem like a “bad boy” in real life but the fact that he has a heart of gold reflects on reel as well!
The warm smile:
Go back to Salman’s very first Barjatya film, Maine Pyaar Kiya. Now think of a lean Salman, and his warm smile that makes your heart all fuzzy. More than the dialogues he mouths it is his warm smile that has become synonymous with the character of Prem, be it the ditsy Prem Bhopali in Andaaz Apna Apna or the know-it-all relationship advisor Prem Love Guru in Partner, the smile remains consistent and necessary to Prem’s character!
The shy and coy gentleman:
Be it Hum Aapke Hain Koun or Hum Saath Saath Hain, we wouldn’t have imagined anyone to play the role of a kind, shy and coy gentleman with the same finesse as Salman. Salman never has to be cheap or vulgar in his romance, and we love how that old-school quality in him makes him the perfect Prem!
The poster boy of classy romance:
And when we say that about Salman, we are strictly talking about his portrayal of romance as Prem in the variety of Barjatya films he has done in his career including the forthcoming Prem Ratan Dhan Payo where he would be playing a Prince!
Because Shahid Kapoor wasn’t as good:
Shahid did play the role of Prem in the Rajshri movie Vivaah but to be honest we weren’t quite satisfied with his chocolate boy looks and his gentle dialogue delivery. We missed Salman as Prem and now we are really glad to see him come back to that domain.
Do you agree with our reasons of why Salman should be the eternal choice for Prem? If you’ve got more reasons, comment below!
