Farooq | 7 years ago | Reply Photos are just photos - and just because one shot was a hit does not mean that he is now the most beautiful face of all !! The main ingredients that you saw in that photo make up the whole picture - like his half shave and earnest look. Now after the revamp - all these ingredients are not present anymore - and my worry is that this nation/industry is going to make him from a hero to a zero ! Don't shatter his dreams and expectations !!
