Bollywood star heroes Salman and ShahRukh khan are not just blockbuster names at the box office, they are also a rage in the goat market around the festival of Bakra Eid.On the eve of Bakrid festival many Goat-sellers in the city have named their best goats with the name of the top actors to make maximum sales during the festival.

These goats are the best looking, muscular and tallest of the lot and the most popular goats are named Shah Rukh and Salman. The prices start from `15,000 and can go up to `5 lakh.

Sellers have been tempted to name the healthiest of their goats after the superstar Khans to fetch huge prices. A goat named after Salman Khan sold for Rs. 1,35,000. Another buyer claims to have bought a Sharukh Khan goat for Rs. 2,00,000 and an Aamir Khan goat for 2,50,000.

“The most popular goats are named Shahrukh and Salman. The prices start from Rs 15,000 and can go up to 5 lakh,” seller said

The trend of naming goats after Bollywood stars isnÂ’t new. Last year, a pair of goats was named Saifeena (Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor) and fetched a four lakhs for its seller.
