Imran Khan

A quick update on what the stars are saying in 140 characters.

Call us cynical, but methinks stars use twitter when it suits them -- which means when they have a film release due!

Which would explain why blue-eyed boy Imran Khan has decided to bid his tweet account goodbye. Having gotten onto twitter at producer Karan Johar's insistence, the star bid good bye to his account over this weekend!

His films in production -- Delhi Belly, Short Term Shaadi -- are a few months away from release! And the actor said in his message to twitter fans, "I signed up because I saw it as a way to interact with my audience at a personal level. I've always looked for ways to do that, whether it was through online chats or live events."

Will he be back like the title of his next movie Break Ke Baad? Lets hope so!

Mehendi Laga Ke Rakhna!

Gauri Khan, Aryan, Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana

Shah Rukh Khan did an interesting shoot with his kids over the week! 

He tweeted, "just did an on the spot foto gig with kids & me as sci fi meets twilight meets aliens. henna design by ash kumar pics by avinash gowarikar. only wife left out...cos she is not in town...am sure she will feel a bit bad not being part of our strange foto shoot."

The pictures were interesting, as Aryan seems completely following his father's footsteps!

SRK tweeted aptly, "henna art by ash & pic by avinash...eyes our own,  "and tattooed we wait...for the mothership to land."

SRK played the perfect father as he rounded it off saying: "now to serious business. studies (no say my kids) dinner (later say kids) sleep (no chance say kids) will get one yes out of them at least!"

Deepika Padukone, who met up with Sachin Tendulkar and his wife Anjali tweeted, "Finally met with sachin and anjali last night over dinner at Koh. What an amazingly solid, grounded n loving couple. Truly Inspiring... Speaking of dinner had the most sublime modern Thai food at the new KOH at the intercon. All serious foodies must make the trip!

Riteish Deshmukh seems to be tripping on the tracks of Dabangg. He tweets, "Tere Mast Mast nain -- DABANGG -- listening to the song in my car- SAJID-WAJID r just magical."

Abhishek Bachchan recommends producer Vipul Shah's new play Bas Itna Sa Khwaab. He tweeted, "Remember how going to the theatre as a kid was such a special occasion. The theatre has an aura that just can't be explained. Very exciting. Just realized that I have been to see a play in ages. Should be great fun."

Post the play he tweeted, "Wonderful play, wonderful performances. You'll must try and watch it."

Karan Johar praises Deepika Padukone's performance in Lafangey Parindey, "One look at the "nain parindey" song in LAFANGE PARINDEY and the evolution of @deepikapadukone is screaming at you...you go girl!!!"

But the sweetest recommendation, comes from Bipasha Basu who plays the perfect girlfriend as she tweets about John Abraham's next release: "Going 2 watch aashayein 2nd time!Ths film shows us tht v shuld celebrate our life, enjoy it, value it, nt disrespect it!John's honest best!"
