Aamir Khan on the Cover of GQ Magazine

Aamir Khan is known for his acting prowess, production skills and his obsession with perfectionism. But one thing he's definitely not known for is gracing magazine covers, and giving in depth interviews. So it comes as a surprise that Aamir is featured on the December issue of men's magazine GQ India! That's not the only surprising thing. The fact that Karan Johar, who's pro Shahrukh Khan, is the contributing editor, as well as the interviewer for Aamir's piece makes it all that more special.

Shah Rukh Khan- Salman Khan spat spills over to Rani Mukerji’s party

The cold war between the two Khans and their respective camps in Bollywood spilt over to the party organized by Rani Mukerji to celebrate a housewarming. Shah Rukh Khan chose to attend along with Gauri Khan , Karan Johar , Farah Khan and, Farhan Akthar giving him company. Salman Khan chose to skip the party and so did Aamir Khan and Saif Ali Khan . It was clear to every one that the Shah Rukh- Salman spat was the reason for such a situation, as Rani is known to be friendly with all the Khans from Shah Rukh to Salman to Saif and Aamir. Rani Mukerji has recently moved into a spacious new home, which has been beautified by Sussanne Khan Roshan and Twinkle Khanna in the upscale Juhu neighborhood and had been planning a house-warming party since long.

SRK quizzes Karan Johar, Rani on Paanchvi Pass

Mumbai: Rani Mukherjee and Karan Johar will appear on Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain ? on 7 June where they try to prove that they are smarter than a fifth grader. As India's most celebrated actress and director struggle to get their facts right with the help of five 10 year olds, Khan has a great time pulling their leg and making them beg for answers. Johar even gets down to his knees to beg for answers. "Hamari bahot beizzati hui hai yahaan par", Karan jokingly kept saying. When Karan and Rani tried to cheat from the audience, SRK gave them a fitting punishment by making them stand on the chair in the classroom. There are many hilarious and emotional moments intertwined in the show. The most funny being where Johar reveals that, as a kid, he wanted to be a barber and cut people's hair when he grew up. He was refused admission when this question was asked in the schools. On a serious note, Mukherjee reveals that she always wanted to make it big but did not know

Saif has no time for Karan Johar

After Race has Saif Ali Khan become one of the busiest actors of Bollywood ? Nothing like that. On the contrary, Saif is concentrating on his home production and planning new films. Now when all big banners are chasing this Khan to sign him up for their next venture he choses to be selective. He hasn’t signed any film, other than those produced by his own production house. Surprisingly, though Saif hasn’t signed more films, he doesn’t have time for director and friend Karan Johar who signed him last year for a film to be produced by his Dharma Productions banner. Saif is currently concentrating on his production house and soon he will begin Imtiaz Ali ’s next. After that he has Sriram Raghavan’s suspense thriller Agent Vinod followed by Homi Adjania’s next.

Karan refuses to design clothes for SRK

Karan with Shah Rukh Khan Karan Johar’s brief but illustrious stint as costume designer seems to be over. He won’t be designing or styling Shah Rukh Khan’s costumes for his films. “At least, not this time,” he makes it clear to us from Los Angeles where he’s busy with the pre-production work of his next film. “I’m so taken up with pre-production, I don’t know if I’m coming or going. It’s impossible for me to do Shah Rukh’s clothes for Adi’s film. Now someone else is doing his costumes this time. It was fun while it lasted and I even got awards for doing Shah Rukh’s clothes.” He must be the only director in the world to get awards for doing costumes. “Am I? Well, there you are!” He also poses for magazine covers and makes cameo appearances but the multitasking director is a worried man. He says, “At the moment I’m leaving all that behind and focussing on getting back to making films. I will turn 36 this month. And I’m really depressed about my age. Those who sa
