If B-Town had its version of the Games, here’s who would make for ideal contestants

Why: Just check out his box-office record. Varun has managed to hit bullseye everytime he has had an outing at the BO. Be it a comic caper like Main Tera Hero, a romcom like Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania or an edgy drama like Badlapur, he has always set the cash registers ringing.
Why: Sonakshi seems to have a penchant for action. Her forthcoming movie Akira will have her showing off some serious stunts. Not just that she even played a boxer in the movie
Holiday that had her opposite Akshay Kumar.
Why: There hasn’t been an event that Tiger has attended where he has not done a backflip or a somersault. The actor, who is a martial arts enthusiast, is always ready to show off his skills. Plus, he has those fab abs, which he loves flaunting at the drop of a hat.
Why: Shah Rukh’s role as coach Kabir Khan in Chak De! India was possibly his best role ever. Also, there has been constant talk of the actor starring in the biopic of hockey legend Dhyan Chand.
Why: Yes, he may not have hit the target at the box-office every time, but it’s just a matter of time before the talented actor gets into his groove.
Why: Pari’s new best friend is tennis champ Sania Mirza and she must definitely have given her B-Town buddy a few lessons. And everyone knows that when Pari puts her mind to something she definitely achieves it. Her getting in shape is just one example. Partnering in doubles wouldn’t be a bad idea either.
Why: This is a no-brainer, really! It’s not just that the actress is the daughter of badminton legend Prakash Padukone, but she has played the sport in national level championships. And, considering her current form in Bollywood, it’s pretty evident that she will rule the roost here, too.
Why: Considering both actors have played wrestlers, it’s only fair that both get a shot at it. A match between the two will perhaps be the right way to choose the ideal contestant.
Why: His current form has him resembling the hulk. The actor showed off his muscle power by picking up a bike not just on screen, but even in front of a live audience at an event to promote his movie Force. The weight of the bike? 150 kgs.
Why: His lean body structure makes him an ideal candidate for this sport. The last time he sported a pair of swimming trunks on screen was in his debut Student of The Year when he showed off his abs.
