dds Imran, "We reached London early Friday morning. After we checked into the hotel, I went out for a bit. There was a restaurant close by and I settled for a pie. Back in the hotel, I started feeling uncomfortable. I could barely manage a single interview, as I would keep throwing up. I felt terrible all day."

On Saturday, Aamir Khan's nephew took off for Dubai for another round of the film's promotions. "I don't know how I endured the flight but as soon as we landed we had to head for an event at a nightclub. By then, I was feeling worse.

Tushar is Kareena Kapoor's obedient disciple

Tusshar Kapoor goes ga-ga over power yoga!

An enthusiast and a practitioner of power yoga herself, Kareena Kapoor has now got Tusshar Kapoor for a student.

Says a source, "It was during their Hyderabad schedule for Golmaal 3 that Kareena persuaded Tusshar to start doing power yoga. It all started when the Kapoor boy's trainer Pramod didn't come for a few days and Tusshki was left with nothing to do. Bebo asked Ekta's bro to join her during her power yoga sessions."

The actress, who has been doing power yoga for more than five years, says, "Yes, I have been teaching Tusshar, who is a close friend. And now, I have put him onto my trainer. I think yoga is the most natural way to stay fit for life and I recommended it to him. My trainer accompanies me everywhere -- even to Morocco, where I am now."

Adds Tusshar, "Pramod asked me to do either cardio or power yoga in his absence. Bebo asked her yoga trainer Payal to help me out. When I did it for 45 min I realized my gym workouts, cardio and weights were nothing compared to power yoga.

Each and every part of my body was contorted, twisted and pushed through unimaginable stress. I almost died! By the end of it all, I was sweating so much it was fabulous. I felt completely relaxed. After that, for the next few days, Bebo insisted that I do power yoga with her regularly."

Now in Mumbai, Tusshar plans to take up power yoga and do it twice a week. "I can't stop doing weights so Pramod will help me work out five days in a week except Thursdays and Sundays and that's when I will do power yoga.

I will probably be the first hero to do power yoga. My dad (Jeetendra) used to do yoga too but I never thought much about it till now. It's all thanks to Kareena."

I am an intelligent man, I invest in my wife's jewellery: Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar has turned a gold man. He will now be seen endorsing Manappuran Gold Loan. The actor chats up with TWF correspondent Sreya Basu on his new avatar.

Do you have any inclination towards gold?
(Laughs) No…not at all. I am not into gold. You won't find me wearing gold chains, rings, bracelets…I am a simple man and am happy if my basic needs are fulfilled. But yes, my wife (Twinkle Khanna), my mother and my sister love wearing gold. See, with Manappuram Gold Loan, I am endorsing a good social message, not gold.

That means, you do buy a lot of gold for Twinkle…
Nei ji. I am an intelligent man. I don't get her earrings, or bangles or rings, or necklaces. I give her cash and Tina (Twinkle) to help herself with whatever she likes.

You are endorsing gold loan, have you taken a loan so far in your personal life?
Jabse maine hosh samhala hai, I have not taken any loan. We are not from a big background. I don't know if my parents have ever taken a loan or not. They made sure that I don't worry about these things in life; they never let me realize that we don't have so much money. My parents made sure I am never in dearth of anything. As for me, I have not required a loan so far in my life.

What are the areas where you invest?
 I do a lot in insurances, bonds, fixed deposits…I invest in properties. These are the four-five things that I majorly do by default. Besides, I have my own production house. And then, I invest in my wife's jewellery. That's all.

What's the contract period for this 'social message' endorsement?
At the moment we have a very long term association with each other. They are here with a good message that if you have gold, why go for personal or business loans. I find this message logical. So I 'm here. And also, they are the highest taxpayers; so is me…we have many things in common, you know.

Coming to your profession, you are all set to host Master Chef India. From Fear Factor to cookery show, how did things shape up?
When I did Fear Factor, I could identify myself with the stunts. And in Master Chef also, I see myself as someone who can be a part of it. I have done this (cooking), I know the ingredients, I know how to make the dishes.

In Bollywood, actors are categorized. Like Saif Ali Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are romantic heroes, Govinda's arena is comedy, while Sanjay Dutt, Salman Khan and you are action stars. Do you support this categorization?
When I started, action was not considered acting. But action is also a form of art. And when an action hero does a comedy film, he is nominated in comic category at the awards functions and he becomes a comedian.

Agar aisa hi hai toh, the one who plays a romantic hero should get nominated in Best Romantic Hero category. Why should he be given Best Actor Award? What I want to say is there shouldn't be any category for anything.

I understand, when an actor does a particular genre well, people remember that particular image. It's hard to erase that image, harder to replace that image with another one, hardest to make the audience accept it.

ike your case?
You can say that. I started out as an action hero…the Khiladi series and what not. Then I switched to a romantic image with films like Dhadkan, and now I am doing comedy like Heyy Baby, Housefull. It's tough, but you can do it with hard work.

Anurag Kashyap, Danny Boyle want Aamir, not SRK

Bombay Velvet, the next film to be made by Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle, will most probably star Aamir Khan in the lead role and not Shah Rukh Khan.

Anurag Kashyap, who is scripting the film, has clarified that they are looking only at Aamir for the lead role and have no plans of approaching Shah Rukh Khan. Anurag believes the role is tailor made for Aamir and they are hoping the 3 Idiots actor will agree to essay it. Anurag will be narrating the script to Aamir in a couple of weeks.

If for some reason Aamir does not agree to the project, Anurag and Danny will consider some other actor, but it will not be Shah Rukh as they believe that he does not suit the character.

Danny had approached Shah Rukh to play the role of the quizmaster in Slumdog Millionaire but Shah Rukh had then turned him down. The role finally went to Anil Kapoor and made him an international star.
