Jaaved Jaaferi, 54, Looks Like This Now. We're Impressed

New Delhi: Jaaved Jaaferi, man of talents, is celebrating his 54rth birthday today. Recently, Jaaved headlined the cast of the stage version of Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding in the US. Awake at 3 am in Los Angeles, Mr Jaaferi was 'bored' and also in a questioning mood. "Wondering what four months of intense performances and strict diet do," he tweeted. The answer, in the picture of himself that he posted - ripped abs is what they do, but perhaps only if you are Jaaved Jaaferi. The actor-singer-dancer-what have you is 54, and let's just say that Naseeruddin Shah - whose role Mr Jaaferi has taken on stage - didn't look like this in the film.

Twitter is utterly awed. Politician Omar Abdullah wants his fitness secrets but doubts his own ability to adopt them. 'Going to the gym,' announced actor Ajaz Khan. Lots of others were mighty impressed as well. Mr Jaaferi, appreciative of the praise, has been tweeting his thanks.
