Exclusive - Catch the Superstars at home
May 20 , 2008

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.

Vikram
Surya
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.
