I have a friend who's visiting me from the US. We were in film school together, and we became really close. I moved back to India in 2005 but we stayed in touch, and he always promised that one day he'd come visit. I was never sure if he really would, or if it was just one of those things you say to people. You know, like, “hey dude, we should get together some time. I'll call you, 100%!”. But this turned out to be real, and a couple of months ago he emailed saying that he had booked his tickets and was coming to India.

I immediately started to plan all the places I'd take him, and all the food I'd make him try. We started from the very first day that he got here, which happened to be Eid.

Karan, who clearly believes in self-love, decides to have a character based on himself in his Imran Khan and Sonam Kapoor starrer I Hate Love Stories

There have been several caricatures of Karan Johar in Bollywood films but this one sure takes the cake. In Karan’s home production I Hate Love Stories, Samir Dattani’s character will be completely based on the filmmaker. True to Karan’s real-life character, Samir plays a film director who makes mushy romantic films and family dramas, which Karan is so well-known for.

Dia Mirza decides once is enough, refuses Dharma Productions' next, I Hate Love Stories

After playing a cameo in Dharma Production's Kurbaan, Dia Mirza has now refused to play a cameo in the banner's next I Hate Love Stories directed by debutant Punit Malhotra. If sources are to be believed Dia didn't want to play a cameo in the movie although she liked the script.

Some of them are courteous, some intelligent, some humorous and some plain arrogant – but on the whole, B’wood stars can be quite an exciting lot. A bit like having tea with the tiger – there is the whole sense of awe and the chance to get some great quotes, but also the danger of being chewed to bits. But more often than not, we walk away with fond memories and great stories – personal recollections that we can’t always write about.

So for this special issue we decided to share with you, our readers, some of the stories from our memory bank – nice, funny, weird or otherwise.

Imran Khan makes his debut as RJ, and plays rare gems of music

It started off as an exchange of `tweets' on the social website, Twitter, and ended up as Imran Khan's debut as RJ on 94.3 Radio One. It was a memorable show mostly, because of the stunning music that Khan dished out, and partly because it was him playing the songs.

Khan's debut as RJ happened by chance. When he mentioned on his Twitter account that he loved RJ Malini Agarwal's show on radio, she invited him over. And Khan, who claims to "LOVE radio", was all for it.
