Shah Rukh Khan tries out a kundan necklace. And Salman Khan goes ring-shopping. And no, it's not an audition for Jewel Thief. Whether it's a period flick or a contemporary drama, Bollywood actors are no longer afraid of flaunting their bling collection, a la Bappi Lahiri. Even if it's strictly for the movies.

Fropki.com takes a look at how diamonds can be a guy's best friends too.

Abhishek Bachchan, Drona

All that glitters is Abhishek Bachchan. As the titular, mythical super hero of Drona, Junior B models layers of embellished zardozi and a thin gold band around his forehead.

Playing an emperor in 16th century India can be arduous and distracting when never-ending string of pearls, a medley of precious stones and sparkling uncut diamonds adorn your crown, arms, wrist, waist, ears, neck and fingers. Full marks to Hrithik Roshan for his unflinching dedication, which shows no signs of discomfort, and delivering a magnificent performance.

Costume dramas are special. They showcase unseen facets, even if superficially, of a star. And so it's fun to watch a conventional dresser like SRK adorn elaborate emerald and kundan neck pieces, chunky ruby rings to go with his traditional look in the romantic tale, Paheli.

They say there's a lot more to Salman Khan than meets the eye. But when it comes to bling, the trendy actor-turned-host sure loves to flaunt in style. As the all-knowing love guru of Partner, Salman sports multitude of gold chains, studded rings, rhinestone belt, and earrings along with his trademark bracelet.

Big B endorses junk jewellery like never before for his musical cameo in Shaad Ali's Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. The actor wears an entire stock of tribal ornaments--turquoise and coral rings, beaded chains, earrings, and silver kadas to work up a gypsy-like whimsical look. Some masterpiece, this.
