Wow! We are amazed by the figures - thank you to our loyal viewers and to the new ones who've found us.

The SBM blog is a rapid extension of the yahoo group (and even earlier the yahoo club if y'all remember 11 years ago!) Shirtless Bollywood Men.

We wanted to archive the hottest hunks from the Indian and Asian sub-continent in one site, in a non-lasvicious and especially non-pornographic way. The group and blog was set up by a gaggle of friends, men and women, to salute the hottest hunks about Asia. We remain stringent and picky - any ol' random shirtless dude won't do. We had quality control - and hope we still do, to bring just the best of cute guys.

We've grown so much in the 11 years. Nov 14, 2000 4:52 pm, we did our first post. Guys we've talked about, whose images we've posted here, have found greater fame online than ever before.

In addition, we're thrilled to say, some of our discoveries have found jobs and advertising gigs. One aspiring male model sent us his super sexy pics and we put them here last year, A gym in Mumbai and Pune, was looking for a male model with great abs and swimsuit body found the person on this blog and contacted us. We sent the model's contacts to the e-mail address after some verification (only legit ones - not the crazy nutjob despos!) and now, the model is paid every year to pose for the gym/calendar etc.

We're so happy for him - and other models and actors. We just want the best for the guys.

Although we're mostly a site of pics of Indian actors, we're extending it to the top male models too.

SBM - now in its 12th year. Wow. Can't believe it.
