Says Sharma, “It began last year when I lost an expensive diamond ring. At the time, I though I had misplaced it. A few months later, I lost my phone. Sanjay goes with me everywhere, so I asked him.

For his DELHI BELLY, Aamir Khan has now openly declared that it is unfit for the family audience. While this may seem like an honest remark, one is also led into believing that this could well be a way to take an offensive approach in the garb of a defensive statement. This doesn’t come without reason though. After all with a song like ‘DK Bose’ as well as other risque elements in DELHI BELLY, Aamir understands that quite a few out there would be ready to take their arms out in protest.

‘Exactly,’ says an insider, ‘And this is the reason why he is not shying away from talking about how this film is only for adult viewing, how audience can well expect a lot of gaalis in the narrative and that it has the potential of spoiling the reputation his production house has earned over the years.’ More

Southern siren Asin is among those lucky few actors, who got the chance to work with superstars of Bollywood – Aamir Khan and Salman Khan from day one. While with Aamir she has done one film-GHAJINI (2008) and with Salman two films now – LONDON DREAMS and READY. Both the stars have their unique style of working.

Comparing the styles of two superstars, Asin says, “Salman is quite spontaneous in front of camera and there is not much of a discussion. He comes and does his own things. You have to be really alert while the camera is running because you don’t know what he is going to come up with. You have to give appropriate reaction and can’t look like ‘oh my god what do I do’ types. He is there and you have to be ready for whatever he throws at you.

On the other hand, Aamir is somebody who’ll probably sit with you and/or director before the camera starts rolling and discuss it why don’t we do like this and get the approval of the director before actually going in front of camera. But, ultimately he will go with what director wants. So you are at least sure what is actually going to happen in front of camera.” More
