Who asked John Abraham to strip ?
His body is many guys’ envy and many girls’ eye candy. But in a
strange turn of events, the tables turned when men shrieked till they
were hoarse for Bollywood actor John Abraham to strip off his T-shirt
for them.
 Call it the star appeal or the post-”Dostana” effect, men - young and
middle-aged - burnt the torrid atmosphere with their cries for the
36-year-old at the Diet Pepsi ‘Go Play John + You’ mass work-out session
at Ansal Plaza, Khelgaon Marg.Shouting “We want John, we want John”
before the star was to make an appearance on the stage, the male lot
completely subdued the low-pitched voices of the fairer sex with
repetitive chants of “T-shirt, T-shirt” that reverberated the open-air
auditorium. They wanted the actor to peel off.
“Come on dude, hit it (T-shirt)...you got to take it out today and
beat Salman (Khan) off his birthright,” shouted Saurabh Kejriwal, a
student from Amity University in Noida. Ashish Damani, a 24-year-old
businessman, echoed the same but with a different purpose.
“Do it for my girl John, please...she worships you,” he cried in
disappointment. However, the “Jism” star did not. But he obliged the
masses by giving away complimentary T-shirts.
“See, that (flaunting his body) was in a movie. Otherwise I am very
very shy...Well, if I take-off my T-shirt, then what will I wear,”
quipped the actor, clad in a body hugging white T-shirt and trousers and
earthy summer coolers on the foot.
As the people worked out, a total of 265,000 calories was burnt
during the event. An equivalent amount of rupees was announced to be
given to non-profit organisation Conserve to create environmental
awareness among the youth.
Winfrey leaves godson red-faced at graduation
Oprah Winfrey embarrassed her best friend’s son at his graduation -
by collecting an honorary doctorate at the same ceremony.
The TV titan was awarded a degree at the Duke University in Durham,
South Carolina over the weekend. And the media mogul took the
opportunity to poke fun at her godson - best pal Gayle King’s son
William - as she took to the stage to give the 4,400 graduates a
commencement speech.
 And the young academic was left red-faced - because he has never told
anyone of his connection to the small screen superstar.
She told her fellow graduates, “Will never wants people to know he
knows me.
I’m like his crazy aunt that they let out at commencements.” But
Winfrey did take the opportunity to inspire the educated revellers -
urging them to be kind to others.
She explained, “One of the best ways to enhance your own life is to
enhance somebody else’s.
“Each of us has to stand in our own shoes. Will you stand in them in
humility and compassion and courage? Every day will give you a chance to
make that choice.
“How can I help somebody else move to higher ground? That is success.
That’s it.”
