Public demand se... MNB: part 3!, writes Sajid Khan

Maaaaaaaain... nahin bolunga! Main kyu bolu? But you know this statement cannot be read, it has to be heard the way I say it. So I request all of you to read it out like Parikshit Sahni. Ready? Repeat. Maaaaaaaain (like a bakra!) nahi bolunga. But say the ‘main kyu bolu’ line very fast. So, let’s go again. Remember, first statement very slowly, second statement very fast. Repeat: Maaaaaain nahi bolunga… main kyu bolu?
So by public demand, I have no choice but to give you a Part 3…. of blind items! Of filmy gossip so unbelievably true that they are too true to be the truth. So here we go…

1.      This very popular heroine of the 90s was a media pet for her daring-baazi. But unfortunately, she wasn’t very educated. On her way to a foreign locale for a shooting, she was travelling by first class for the first time. Along with other co-stars. The air hostess brought in the hors d’oeuvres (the snacks) and started serving it. Our actress asked her, “What is this snack?” The air hostess replied, “Ma’am, it’s caviar.” 
Our puzzled actress asked her, “What is caviar?”. “They are fish eggs,” the air hostess politely replied. Our actress very sweetly told the air-hostess, “Oh, machchi ka anda. Don’t serve me like this. Make me an aamlate.” The air hostess was shocked. So were the co-stars. But no one wanted to correct her as she was very mooh-phat. Toh, bolo bolo kaun thi woh? Now please repeat like how we practised upar. Maaaaaain nahi bolunga… main kyu bolu?

2.   Foreign travel reminds me of another funny incident which happened in London. In the mid-90s, several Bollywood actors and actresses had gone to the UK for a couple of charity shows. Charity for what? The proceeds of the ticket money would be used in making an exclusive film industry gymkhana which would be only open for film industry actors and technicians. Hahaha! Imagine Sunny Deol and Paintal working out together! Or Manisha Koirala and Madhuri Dixit swimming with Lalitha Pawar and Nirupa Roy! Well, the club never got made, but the shows 
did happen. 
And when it was time to check out from the hotel, all the luggage of the actors and singers was grouped together in the lobby. The British manager of the hotel walked up to this female singer and said, “Ma’am, this is your bill for the mini bar. She said, “Oh, the mini bar is not complimentary?” He answered in the negative. Rather than paying 600 pounds, she had to open up her suitcase and give back the 20 alcohol bottles she had flicked from the mini bar. This became very embarrassing as all the other stars and technicians were in the lobby at that time. Right till Mumbai, she kept on telling everyone that she always goes to hotels and the mini bar is complimentary. 

Hahahahaha! Chhoti-chhoti bottle, bada-bada jhooth. Bolo, bolo kaun ha woh? Maaaaaain nahi bolunga… main kyu bolu?
