The Bollywood Tweet Diary
A quick update on what the stars are saying in 140 characters.
Mallika Sherawat seems to be everywhere internationally and even tweeting it to prove just that!
She tweeted, "before Sting's show, in the front row" and even mentioned that Sting sang Desert Rose as an encore and even posted a picture of herself with the singer!
It's another matter that a popular newspaper made it sound like he sang Desert Rose for Mallika. She doesn't dispute the story -- merely stating, "Almost entirely accurate! TOI on my Sting-ing experience lol ;-)"
Now that's a smart cookie! Don't you think?
Spitting with SRK
Looks like Shah Rukh Khan celebrated Father's Day with a difference.
Khan tweets, "with my son.had seen spitting contest in titanic.trying to recreate this awful dirty & childish prank with him. wot the hell its fathers day. have to muster up some pressure in the mouth for the spitting championships. bye all..love to u."
He tweeted earlier very philosophically, "on fathers day took the kids to a waterpark. dont flinch jumping 30/40 ft for a stunt...but had to hold onto them to go down a waterslide."
The actor who's on a trip around the world and currently in Turkey, also tweeted about his dad, "my father always wanted me to visit kashmir,rome & istanbul with him.he is not around so taking my kids to these places.he will be pleased."
Khan also promised to tweet pictures of his trip! Check him out with the sailboats in the background!
Chef Shilpa's double whammy!
Shilpa Shetty is busy, busy, busy!
The actor donned her chef's hat for a double whammy!
"Tomws Moms 60th bday n Fathers day,so double celebration:)arranging a family get2gether.decided to cook nd bake a cake myself after long! Want it 2 b perfect,so shopped personally 4 all the ingredients!Supermarkets r so much fun!so tempting..think I bought more than I wantd."
The south Indian lass also posted her pictures of the cake and tweeted, "Cake baked,let it cool.Attended a puja we had 4 mom at the temple,Annadaan(distributed food).Rushin back to do the icing;)enjoyin this"
Now, if only she could open a restaurant and feed us too!
Sporting Action!
Football seems to have rightly cornered everyone's attention! Even Lara Dutta stated wryly, "Nieces birthday! Just cut her cake. Trying to sing happy birthday and look at the match! Tough job!! :-)"
Her co-star in Blue, Sanjay Dutt seems to be awake to catch all the action. He tweets, "Fiffa is unbelievable, germany lost, now watching england algeria, algeria pressing, what happened to Rooney, lampard, etc? Brazil all the way, super match, fabiano the man, miss elano, match to watch brazil vs portugal, goodnight friends!"
Even Karan Johar added himself to the melee, "Ok..everyone is screaming argentina and herd mentality is my forte...so here goes...ARGENTINA!!! Hope I make the FIFA fit now!!"
Watching Raavan
Raavan seems have attracted both praise and brickbats from the stars.
Says Shilpa Shetty, "Oh my god Abhishek gave one hellava performance,dangerous n stil Rocking..deadly combo!Must watch..sanjeeda very good too.Wat talent,amazing."
Lara stated, "Saw Raavan. I liked it in most parts.Was a bit slow, sum of it got monotonous. Ash looked stunning. Now luking forward 2 Guzaarish from SJB."
Shah Rukh Khan, wife Gauri and kids also made it to the premiere of Raavan in London. He tweeted, along with their picture: "my escorts for the premier...the hottest girls at the red carpet!"
The actor tweeted his thanks to Abhishek and Sr Bachchan, "had a great time. u all have worked so hard & good in the film.was a great evening. the film is really nice. all have worked so hard & earnestly. insha allah all will love it."
Tweet Talk
Salman Khan seems to be all about family this week on twitter world.
He posted pictures of partying with his brothers Sohail and Arbaaz, and then one with his sister Alvira and brother-in-law Atul! Life's a happy family eh?
Watching a movie together at a multiplex in Juhu was Genelia and Riteish Deshmukh over the weekend along with an entourage to keep wagging tongues at bay.
The actor tweeted "@geneliad the applause of your heartfelt giggles made it worth it for me n @shiekhspear"
Wonder if they were watching Raavan or Raajneeti?
The world may have been celebrating Father's Day. But Sonam Kapoor is totally nuts about her mom. The actress tweeted, "I love my mom, she's so selfless in her support and love." Isn't that sweet?
Agent and photographer Atul Kasbekar added to it by tweeting, "Rediscovered "Scrabble" thx 2 @sonamakapoor's mum Sunita in Edinburgh, turns out she's a dictionary...kicked my butt!"
Tweeting to success?
Imran Khan and Sonam seem to be using their tweet accounts effectively for promotion of I Hate Luv Storys! This despite the actress not being in the country at the moment!
Khan tweets with a picture the first draft of IHLS, his schedule of promotion activity in Pune, Chandigarh and even a picture of the gift of the Kirpaan he received in Chandigarh.
We think these kids are giving this movie all they've got!
