Did the unabashed 20-year old Kingfisher Mumbai model Poonam Pandey inspire the Bollywood Baadshah Shahrukh Khan in announcing that he would go topless if his Kolkata Night Riders (KKR) reaches the finals of the IPL season 4?

Is it a publicity stunt like the one offered by Poonam Pandey or is he sincere to the core in keeping up his commitment?

After Poonam, Shahrukh has now become a topic of discussion in media but whether he will end up like another Poonam or will really draw the eyeballs by removing his shirts will only be known after a few days.

The actor was in his elements when KKR won the third match by defeating the Rajasthan Royals at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday. The victory forced him to declare that he would go shirtless once his team is through to the finals.

“If we reach the final at Chennai, I will take off my shirt, fluff it in the air, and show my six pack abs... or may be eight pack abs,” declared Shahrukh instantly, perhaps taking inspiration from Poonam Pandey who offered to strip if India won the 2011 World Cup. 

Let us wait for more victories of KKR in the league matches before it reaches finals and to see his six pack body.
