I miss a lot about Lucknow: Anupam Kher
Actor Anupam Kher's visit to Lucknow, to shoot for Habib Faisal's next was a memorable one in more ways than one. The shooting, which took place at different locations in the city, took Kher back in time when he was a student and a teacher in the city years ago. "I have warm memories of the place. It doesn't look the same Lucknow that I saw last," he said. Apart from shooting for your film, what else did you do in Lucknow? The shooting had been a very hectic one, so I didn't get time to do much else, but I squeezed in as much as I could in the little time I got. I went to my former institute Bhartendu Natya Academy and that was a beautiful experience. They have a huge building now, which is...

Delhi dudes and their 'daddy' excuses
When caught by a cop or driving drunk, every Delhi Dude's dad become a neta or the police commissioner If making bahanas was an Olympic sport, the Delhi Dudes would bag the top honours every single year. From ingenious and wacky to bizarre and downright nonsensical, the Dude has an excuse for every occasion. As soon as they find themselves in a soup (read police ka chakkar), they first flaunt their dad's money and try to bribe the cop. If that doesn't work, they make up a high-profile family member who is somehow related to the cabinet minister or the commissioner. But if that fails too, the Dude makes a puppy face, folds his hands and starts blurting out all the excuses...

Sonu Nigam does not want to sing chhichhora songs
The versatile singer Sonu Nigam gets candid about today's lyrics and films. Sonu Nigam has never been one to remain silent about issues that concern him or his profession and says that he has suffered consequences for this. His comparatively lean year, he believes, was a direct result of him raising his voice against the Copyright Act. His songs were being distributed for redubbing by composers - something he has always refused to do for other singers. When he visited Delhi for a recent event, he spoke about the things that went wrong in the last few months, his take on the 'getting respect versus singing hit songs' concept and his take on lyrics and films, which, according to him, are...
