How would you show your love for your favourite movie stars? Write letters to them? Send them cards? Watch every movie they were ever a part of, even if the movie is 50 years old or would you rip your clothes off for them to set a new Guinness World Record? Because that is exactly what two die-hard Salman Khan fans decided to do! What better way to pay a tribute to the bare-chested, shirt-ripping Bollywood idol than to rip off their own shirts?
With this agenda in mind, self confessed Salman Khan fan boys Sharib Hashmi and Deepesh Bhat decided to attempt a record for most t-shirts torn in a minute in Sallu bhai's honour on the show Guinness World Record Ab India Todega . The two passionate men performed the stunt in front of Salman who happened to be present on the show in this very special episode.
The first t-shirt was expertly turned to shreds by none other than master shirt-ripper who has made a career out of flaunting his bare chest, Salman himself. Following which, the two fans got busy and the studio was filled with sounds of t-shirts being ripped one after the other. The existing record stood at 14 shirts being ripped in a minute. So all these two men needed to do was rip just one more to claim the title.
Deepesh managed to tear 23 t-shirts while Sharib lost out by 1 t-shirt by tearing only 22. Nevertheless, it was a new Guinness World Record for India, and by a wide margin...and a lot more shreds of fabric.
Once, the minute was over and the winner was declared, they both decided it was a waste not to rip the remaining t-shirts. So the ripping continued. Finally, Sharib started singing the song that made Salman's chest famous  ÂO O Jaane Jaana and then the two bare bodied men, Sharib and Salman grooved to the song sending ripples of laughter and amusement through the studio audience!
