Despite his outlandish wardrobe, Kylie’s Bollywood co-star is regarded as sex symbol. Is his taste so bad it’s good?

Akshay Kumar, one of India’s most successful film stars, saw his latest movie, Blue — a tale set underwater, not under bedclothes — debut last week with much fanfare. Not only does the 42-year-old Bollywood action hero appear in the most expensive Hindi film yet made, but the movie also co-stars Kylie Minogue, whose main contribution to the storyline is performing a dubious musical number called Chiggy Wiggy. In case you wondered, Blue is not directed by Ken Loach.

But more spectacular than the highoctane musical numbers, even more eye-popping than the sight of Minogue’s pert bottom wiggling wickedly to the bhangra beat, is Kumar’s taste-defying array of outfits — both on and off screen. Google Kumar and a picture gallery of some of the most unappetising outfits worn by modern man will unfold before your eyes: there’s oversized sunglasses that he appears to have borrowed from Mrs Beckham, day-glo hoodies stolen from Kanye West, slogan T-shirts à la Henry Holland, and lots of shiny, torso-revealing accessories that remind one just a little bit too much of Daffyd from Little Britain.
