Imran on what sets SRK, Aamir and Salman apart


Bollywood celebrity  Imran Khan, who entered Hindi filmdom just three years ago, says he loves the three big Khans of Bollywood - Salman, Aamir and Shah Rukh - for their different qualities that set them apart.


What has always inspired me about Shah Rukh is the level of energy that he has. Whenever you see him, he is so energetic. That is very attractive to see. You don't want to take your eyes off such a person. Imran told.


With Aamir (who is his uncle) what I have always admired and have been jealous of is his ability to figure out what is the pulse of the audience. He can read a story, he can watch a film and he will know what will work. It is uncanny how he does that, how he knows it.'


Salman's charisma is beyond anything that any star has had before because with Salman, people ask no questions. They know it?s a Salman film and they will come, not even bothered about what the film is all about, he added.


Imran is quite right - despite not-so-encouraging reviews, Salman's just released 'Bodyguard' has got an overwhelming response at the box office.




Katrina Kaif Slaps Jay Soni


Jay Soni who is better known as Eshaan Kashyap in Sasural Genda Phool got the shock of his life. Jay Soni (host of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa) was in for a rude shock when celebrity guest Katrina Kaif slapped him hard across his face.


Katrina was accompanied by her co-actors Imran Khan and Ali Zafar on a reality show featuring kids to promote her upcoming flick. A rather starstruck Jay had his eyes set on 


her from the moment she came in and did not miss out on any opportunity to flirt with her and also take digs at her not-so-fluent Hindi.


At one point on stage, Jay went down on his knees and proposed to her saying "Will you marry me Kats?" That's when the actress gave him one tight slap. The host was too stunned to move while everybody on the sets burst into peals of laughter.
