Bollywood stars have always been trendsetters in India. Lately, the likes of Hrithik Roshan and Shah Rukh Khan have motivated several Indian men to achieve waxed torsos and chiseled six packs.

What if these superstars of yesteryears arrived on Tinder? What kind of profile pictures would they use, and what would their Tinder bio look like?
Inspired by a Buzzfeed post, Abhisek Das, a Bengaluru-based graphic designer, has created Tinder profiles for several Bollywood male stars from the 80s and 90s. These (fake) Tinder profiles celebrate everything the era was known for—copious body hair, flashy clothes, and bizarre hairstyles.
