This year, he’s got everything he asked for, twice over. Two superhit films, two big banners and two gorgeous co-stars in Katrina and Kareena. Recently, in the headlines for stealing his brother’s dulhan, Imran Khan is well on his way to grab the top spot in the industry.

MBKD was your second hit this year…. I’m glad it turned it out that way. When the director approached me with the film, I asked him whether he was sure he wanted me for the part. I didn’t think I was the right choice for MBKD. Delhi Belly, on the other hand, was completely my cup of tea. I was very sure that I’d pull it off.

One adult comedy and one YRF romance. How difficult was it switching between the two? That’s what I find appealing about my profession, you get to do different things every day. ‘Delhi Belly’ was a very adult, edgy kind of a film while on the other hand, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan — a complete Bollywood film. I love stretching my limits like that.

You look younger than most actresses in BTown… It’s always been the issue with me. I’m 28, for God’s sake! I get that ‘cute’ compliment a lot, but I guess it’ll get better with More >
