People with no manners
In your bag you carry..
A huge gym bag, make-up bag, one ice-box, my lunch box and a bag of spare clothes. If I have to rush somewhere urgently or am stranded, I will be prepared. I am horribly organised and am pathetic at being so orderly (grins)

Car keys, credit card and my mobile
Favourite travel destination
Until recently it was Cape Town but I went to London for an event and fell in love with the UK (smiles)

To become an actor. I want to be as big as Amitabh Bachchan and Rajesh Khanna, who have such enigmatic and larger-than-life persona
