Even as readers discussed which personality they would like to see on Bigg Boss 5, actors Abhishek Bachchan and Riteish Deshmukh also tweeted their choices. And it was Karan Johar!

'I was there in KANK too but Karan Johar thought I was best suited for the deleted scenes in d SPECIAL DVD edition,' Riteish tweeted to Abhishek, referring to his deleted cameo in Karan Johar's film Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna.

Abhishek claimed that something similar had happened to him as well, during Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. 'haha bro. He did the same thing to me in K3g. Gotta get our revenge !!!!' Abhishek wrote back to Ritiesh.

Meanwhile, former Bigg Boss contestant Kamaal R Khan unexpectedly suggested a better revenge: 'If you both Riteish and Abhishek want to take revenge then send Karan Johar to Bigg Boss5 with me pls,' he tweeted.

Abhishek loved the idea, and replied: 'D! I think we should start an online petition to convince Karan Johar to join Kamaal R Khan in BIG BOSS. What say?'

Riteish agreed: 'Yes let's push for Karan Johar in BB5 -sab log shout in unison-we want KJO in BB5-(keep repeating it) hamari fariyaad kabool karooo.'

Karan was sportingly enough. He tweeted: 'thank you for your valuable suggestions about my presence in BB5...duly noted!!!'

September 5 is an important date for Abhishek Bachchan.

'Actors have a funny habit of keeping tracks of important days in their life, which they hold very dear. today, 7 yrs ago... 05/09/04 i gave my first shot for a film with Amitabh Bachchan for Ram Gopal Varma's SARKAR. now you don't forget a day like that!!!' he tweeted.

September 5 also happens to be the release date of Kuch Na Kaho, Abhishek's first film with wife Aishwarya. 

'Was just reminded that 5 sept. was also the release of Kuch Na Kaho. one of my favorite films! Now that I think of it, the 5th of sept. is quite a significant date for me. Dhoom was declared my 1st hit on 5th sept. And on the same day Karan Johar offered me kabhie alvida na kehna. Allowing me to cancel out working with him from my bucket list!' he added.
