Nowadays everyone wants to flaunt a sleek and sexy upper body.

Here's looking at Bollywood's famous tough guys who've switched from bushy to buttery smooth.

Unlike most action heroes who never leave a single opportunity to take off their shirt, Ajay Devgn resisted any such urge to show off his bulky biceps or bushy bust for a long time.
