Superstars at home |

How
do our favorite stars look when they are
not shooting, giving an interview or attending
a function? What do they prefer to wear
when they are away from all attention,
in the confines of their homes where they
can let their guard down? Our favorite
stars love to relax just like each one
of us do, and it is quite surprising to
see how simple and down to earth most
of them are. Maybe, spending the better
portion of their lives keeping up appearances
ensures that they are casually attired
at home. |

Let’s
start with Vijay. The Ilaya Thalapathy has not been
known to be very trendy or jazzy with his clothes on
screen. He has always typified Chennai youth, with his
simple shirts, jeans and a devil may care attitude.
Maybe that explains why he is so much like any other
guy at home, preferring to be in sleeveless T-shits
and shorts, the kind that you or me can easily identify
with- nothing fancy. Its not just Vijay who is dressed
thus, Dhanush, Silambarasan and Surya, all prefer to
dress in the same way. There might be a few variations,
especially with the shorts becoming three quarters and
things like that, but the basic code of casual dressing
remains the same. We did expect something different
from Surya, after all- isn’t his Kollywood youth’s
style icon? But he has shown that stardom and fame are
things that don’t enter one’s home: they
are purely professional traits. Then there is Vikram
and as usual he has his own trademark, coupling a simple
vest with a pair of shorts (one cannot get more casual).

There
are stars that like to get even more casual. Some
may not think of this attire as casual, but it is
just a matter of getting used to- we are talking about
the lunghi and its various forms, maybe South India’s
favorite home wear for men. The main patrons of the
lunghi are (mostly seniors) Goundamani, Senthil and
Sathyaraj. Surprisingly, even the young Bharath has
a soft corner for the lunghi (not the usual chequed
one though!).
Then come the stars that have a different idea about
being casual. You cannot catch them in what you would
call a real ‘chill out at home’ dress.
They are always fit to be photographed, not that they
do it as a practice; it is just the way they like
to be. Ajith is always dressed in a shirt or a T-shirt
with a pair of jeans or formal pants on. The same
goes with Sarath Kumar, Vishal and Jeyam Ravi. They
are all formally casual.
Now for the icons: How do Rajini and Kamal like to
dress at home? As we know, both of them are simple
to the core and this reflects in the way they dress
too. They are casual in their own way, traditional
and formal, all at the same time in their kurtas or

jibbas (as you like to call them). There are a few attires
like these that are suited for all places and occasions;
we are not forgetting Captain Vijayakanth here whom you
can always see in the true Tamil tradition, wearing a white
shirt and dhoti/vetti.
That’s what our stars like to wear when they are not
facing the lights. It’s for you to see: no brands
like Armani or Crocodile, just as simple as it can get.
That itself says a lot about people from the world of color
and glamour.
