For my Mamu

Imran Khan's housewarming ceremony was a picture of Bollywood strength, with most big names making their way there. After renovating his grandfather, late film-maker Nasir Hussain's 50-year-old bungalow, Imran threw a bash for his friends and family. And one of the most important guests of the evening was none other that his mamu Aamir Khan. When the duo got together, they were fired with questions about each other and Imran looked at his uncle and confessed that as a kid he was scared of mamu, but when he turned 13 and became close to him, he got over his fear. Aamir, looked at the junior Khan with surprise, and quipped, "I did not know that. I am glad that you are no longer frightened of me." That had the two laughing, before they turned to go into the house together.

Her own Santa Claus

It was Christmas time and like always Asin was cornered by some journos to find out about her plans for big day. She is a Christian from Kochi in Kerala.

When asked what gifts she got for Christmas from Santa Claus, she gleefully replied that her Santa is her dad Joseph Thottumkal and he is the one who pampers her with lots and lots of love and gifts, something she never has to ask for specially. "And he also has a beard," she added laughingly. It is no wonder then, that her Christmas is always a cheerful affair.

Biting the net bait

Varun Dhawan is the latest to join the Twitterati bandwagon. The newbie, during the promotions of his debut film Student of the Year (SOTY), was quite determined to avoid social networking sites. "I don't want any kind of distractions. No social networking, no chatting. I have had my share of it," he had laughed about it. "Besides, internet is a different world — it's too vocal in its likes and dislikes. You have to be as talented as an Aamir Khan to be immune to its effect," he had added. So what made him change his mind now? Looks like his mentor, film-maker Karan Johar was instrumental in getting him to join the Twitter. He tweeted, "VARUN DHAWAN is on twitter!!! @varun_dvn.....give him love people!!!! That completes the #SOTY trio on twitter!!! Keep the tweets flowing..." Varun since joining social networking site has been tweeting about issues that interest him, or putting up pictures of his elder brother's birthday party. Incidentally, the pictures also have Arjun Kapoor in it.
