Salman Khan and Parvez Kazi — In India, Bollywood stars are almost superhero-like. Bollywood movies show these actors single-handedly fight lions, obliterate entire mobs with one punch, jump between skyscrapers, and cheat death in every way possible. While we applaud their death-defying stunts we forget that it is rarely those stars who put their health and bodies at risk to make these stunts possible. The stars get the applause and these body doubles are forgotten. Here are 9 body doubles who risked their lives so the audience could enjoy seeing their favourite stars in superhero glory.
