Hey peeps, hows it going ... been a while... I suppose I've always said that I shall blog more and between work (new film) (TV Shoot), family, friends, family guy and boardwalk empire, one hardly gets the time ... Now I want to talk about Karan Johar here today. You might think why him and whats with the title of this blog. Well read away for a fun story. Normally I am very passive of things but this one relates to all of you. Hence here we go.
So I get a message on Instagram saying Karan Johar is following me... now I have lived in London, New York and Bombay (sue me , I am calling it that ) and being part of this work line, I have met him few times in parties etc and have a 100's of mutual friends so it wasn't a biggie as in its hard to resist my charm or good looks (OK now people who know me KNOW that I am being cheeky and sarcastic here)
So this Karan Johar sends me a message on Instagram message which I NEVER use saying hey asad so i replied hey back, He goes : I want to talk to you about a project (Now I never get excited ever and hence said) sure Karan , fire away. He said I am making a film called LOVE MERA HIT HIT ... My mind boggled and big FFFFFFFUUCCCCKKKKK ALLLL came on screen just like those Bridget Jones movies, I mean seriously what a name NOT ....
So He said I would like you to be part of it .... I was like sure send me details , then I said aren't you on BBM as most of industry friends are and I know Karan is too ... so Karan goes, no I am on whats app. I LOL ed in my head and OK. He said give me your number. Now for accurate reasons, his instagram account had 1500 followers and he follows 47 people or so , all from Industry so it looked genuine but my Sherlock Holmes kicked in Desi style so I thought Beta Asad lets have some laugh .... so I gave him my spare sim card number and he what apps me from a DUBAI number saying hey asad, how you doing .... Now everyone take a moment. My film "7 welcome to London" was released in March 2012, 3 months before I could not eat or breathe cos of workload , promotion etc ... so many logistics, end meets etc ... so obviously two weeks before his film releases, India's biggest filmmaker is wooing me on Instagram .... yeah I know what you thinking like WTF ...
BEST PART:
Karan goes: oh bro (now you know karan won't say that ) ... i have lost all my contact numbers on my phone and heading back to Bombay tonight but need to get my numbers back so which MUTUAL friends numbers do you have ... by this time I was rolling on floor and thanking my stars for this awesome entertainment by this FAKE KJ...
So I acted like a seedha saadha and said I don't know who we know in common , he said anyone ... So i mentioned a big producer friends name, and Karan replied saying yes send it ... so i sent a fake number , then he said which other actors and actresses do you have numbers for : ) ... I am literally friends with everyone from Bollywood and have contacts but acted naive and said I am from London and don't have them ;) Karan said, but you are an Actor and you must have Bollywood contacts ... for which I replied I am having dinner now , chat soon ...
MORAL OF THE STORY for the 1500 followers who follow Kjohar25 FAKE DUBAI GUY
I get so much love from people when I meet them, in public, in events and generally. I consider myself a good human being and hence try my best to stay sane but you guys (the janta and public) need to be careful about fraudster etc and for it was worth , this was super funny and only If i had on my camera, would have been a super episode of punked.... video blog was in order ...
hope you enjoyed reading , love you all and I'm gonna go and work on those babies (its my arms day in the gym ...wink)
Asad xxx
