When Shah Rukh Khan met Gauri

Farhan Akhtar meets Robert De Niro

Bollywood filmmaker and actor Farhan Akhtar enjoys a huge fan following, but he hero-worships Hollywood star Robert De Niro and says meeting him was like a dream come true. Farhan met his childhood idol at the launch of Atlantis Hotel in Dubai on November 20. "I can't even begin to tell you what it meant to me. I mean, everyone who loves cinema loves De Niro, right? But with me it's a little more," Farhan said. "When I heard he was going to be there at the Dubai event, I had to be there too. Yes, De Niro was my primary incentive for attending. I had hoped for a handshake with De Niro at the most. I got a hug. I don't know whether he felt my respect for him. But to see him so up close and personal was an awesome experience. "De Niro turned out to be a thorough gentleman. Everyone there at the Dubai event wanted to meet him. What an ordeal it must have been for him to smile and talk to everyone.

Starring Gaelan Connell, Lisa Kudrow, Alyson Michalka and Vanessa Hudgens, the film (just like the Bollywood version starring Farhan Akhtar, Prachi Desai , Arjun Rampal , Purab Kohli , Luke Kenny , Shahana Goswami and Koel Puri ) tells the story about a group of friends coming together and forming a rock band. It is about this boy named Will who is a high school outcast and a popular girl Charlotte who form an unlikely bond through their shared love of music .

Ekta Kapoor flushes down her rules for `favourite` cousin

Everybody has been wondering why Ekta Kapoor allowed her favourite actress Prachi Desai to work opposite Farhan Akhtar in Rock On when she has been openly opposed to the idea of others leaving her to pursue the big screen. The reason behind the bending of rules is that Rock On director Abhishek Kapoor, better known as Gattu, is Ekta's favourite cousin. And there's absolutely nothing she would refuse him. Ekta admits her fondness for Abhishek and said: "Yes, he's my favourite brother after Tusshar. Gattu is my dad's sister's son. So we're very close. We don't meet that often any longer. We're both busy doing our own thing. When we were younger, we used to meet very regularly. We've been on holidays together, just Gattu and me. But he's my coolest brother. And there's nothing I wouldn't do for him." When Abhishek decided to cast Farhan Akhtar as the lead in Rock On , he was on the lookout for a fresh face for the f
