Whenever we think of a Shah Rukh Khan film we eagerly wait to see when he extends his arms, when we see a Salman Khan film we prepare ourselves to see him remove his shirt and show off his body. A few actors in Bollywood are just universally recognised with their signature moves. Be it SRK or Salman, Dev Anand or Amitabh Bachchan, their certain gestures have become iconic and are featured in their every film...well, most of the times. So let’s look at nine B’town actors and their signature moves which are inimitable.

Ajay Devgn – Balancing on two vehicles

The balancing act of Ajay Devgn was first seen in ‘Phool Aur Kante’. From balancing on two hummers in Golmaal Unlimited to standing on two horses in Son of Sardaar, even Hollywood tried this epic balancing act.

Amitabh Bachchan – ‘Haain’ left-hand gesture

That deep baritone voice saying ‘Haain’ with one hand on his hip, his signature style became a rage with the youth. And his style has been copied a zillion times.

Dev Anand – Hands flapping in front of face

Tilting the head slightly and nodding and then flapping both the hands in front of face, Dev Anand’s classic style has been copied innumerable times. And in recent time we saw our Kapoor lad – Ranbir Kapoor managed to pull off his style in Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Tamasha’ song ‘Matargashti’.

Mithun Chakraborty – Pelvic Thrusts

The Disco king is known for this pelvic thrust movement in the path-breaking role of street dancer Jimmy in the 1982 blockbuster ‘Disco Dancer’, Mithun’s signature dance move is inimitable.

Raj Kapoor – Reliving Charlie Chaplin

Raj Kapoor mimicked Chaplin, but in his own style which has become an iconic signature move in Bollywood. Raj Kapoor's happy Chaplin-esque figure will always remain etched in our memory.

Rajesh Khanna – Tilting head and wink

His one wink and you’ll just drool over Bollywood's first superstar. Rajesh Khanna’s charm and coyness was hard to avoid.

Rajinikanth – Flipping cigarette

Cigarette smoking is injurious to health. But the style and attitude Rajinikanth portrayed on-screen while flipping a cigarette, we’re sure men-folk at some point of their life must have tried to copy him.

Salman Khan – Removing shirt

Touted to have the best body in Bollywood, Salman Khan never shied showing off his hot bod in his films. We secretly wish him to drop off his shirt in all his films.

Shah Rukh Khan – Extending arms

From ‘DDLJ’ to ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’, we can’t imagine anyone else in SRK’s signature arm extending style. Whenever SRK opens his arms, I am sure many girls go weak on their knees.
