„ There are many reasons why I just love Delhi. To start with, it’s because this city is my home. I spent a great part of my childhood in the small township of Rohtak which is near Delhi. And then, of course, it was Delhi all the way. And what fun I had with my group of friends. „ I did my graduation from Delhi University’s Miranda House. Needless to say, those years at this college were really superb. While studies had their own place, we would also bunk class- es and take-off to see movies or just to sit and chat over endless cups of chai at the dhabas there. I sure have some great memories of the times I spent there with my friends, most of whom I’m still in touch with. „ When I think of Delhi, I can’t help thinking of chaat. I just gorge on the gol gappas and the de- licious tikkis the city offers at every corner. However, my favourite eating joints are DKKS at Hyatt and Spice Route at Imperial. „ Shopping is great fun in Delhi. Sarojini Nagar and Janpath have been my favourite shopping haunts since I’ve managed some of my best buys from there. Delhi is the place for the best Indian traditional clothing for women right Delhi Delhi! Mallika Sherawat/Actress

from saris and salwar kameezes to lehangas. And for jewellery,especially kundans, Chandni Chowk is a must visit for me. „ My modelling career also took off from Delhi. Besides the many ads that I did, there was this great music video for Times Music that I did with Rahul Dev who has become such a big star now and another great guy,NirmalPandey,who sang the song for it. Based on the theme of rein- carnation, it was shot in one of the many pic- turesque ruins that abound in the Capital. „ What also adds to the charm of the city are the winters. The foggy mornings are great. Sip- ping hot cups of tea with moomphulis just adds to the fun of the cold season — something I re- ally miss in . „ The roads of Delhi are beyond compare. It’s a pleasure driving around on them. The tree- lined avenues and boulevards look so beautiful. And yes, who can forget the many round-abouts which burst into colour when the spring season hits the Capital. The well-combed gardens just add to the beauty of the city. „ Finally, I must add that Delhi is dil walon ka shaher. The people indeed are very warm. I must say that they have been very encouraging and supportive to me and helped me in my suc- cess in Bollywood.

Aamir is rising! amir Khan is getting A back to shape. Aamir,who was last seen in Lagaan and got worldwide acclaim for the film, apart from missing the Oscars narrowly, is working hard for Ketan Mehta’s The Rising. The hero is a perfec- tionist and has been known for that. For The Rising too he is leaving no stone unturned. He is shedding the extra weight he has put on, all this while. And he has also gone through many litera- tures he could lay his hands on, on the subject of Mangal Pandey, on whose life the story is based.
