3 Tattoos: It was the year of absurd tattooing. From teeth to tail bones, youngsters experimented with all possible locations for a tattoo. HT City reported that tooth tattoos had become a rage in the city, while young girls got designs made to draw attention to their cleavage.

4 Cosmetic surgeries: Cosmetic surgeries were no more about a nose-job or a boob-job. In 2009, Delhiites got the strangest surgeries done — from dimple creations and hymen reconstruction to pectoral implants and butt enhancements. Some men even had surgery to enhance the ‘male-cleavage’.

5 Eight-pack abs: Bollywood stars like Sanjay Dutt and Shahid Kapur boasted about getting eight-pack-abs and caused a frenzy among fitness freaks to do the same. However, fitness experts debunked the claim, stating that eight-pack abs were physically impossible.
