While he has a huge collection of some of his favourite brands of shoes, the actor is a big fan of a particular French luxury Nfootwear brand. In fact, this very brand has stores in New York and London amongst others and whenever SRK visits the cities, he makes sure he drops into their stores to check out the collection. In fact, not too long ago, the brand set up its Á agship store in Fort, Mumbai. And it seems some days ago when King Khan was shooting for his upcoming Á ick, Happy New Year in the vicinity, he dropped into the store after pack-up. Not only was the store staff extremely happy to have a star of his stature visit them but they also helped SRK take a look at their newest collection. And from what we hear, after looking at the complete collection, SRK even picked up a pair of shoes he fell in love with! We bet you will look absolutely drool-worthy in them, King Khan. PHOTOGRAPH: YOGEN SHAH YOGEN PHOTOGRAPH: A Long Wait It has been a while since we last saw Asin Thottumkal on celluloid. But the good news is that the girl À nally zeroed down on a script for herself and recently signed a À lm opposite Abhishek Bachchan, tentatively titled Mere Apne. But that doesn’t stop everyone from wondering what took her so long in picking the right project? Exactly why StarWeek decided to throw the same question at the actress and she promptly responded, “As an actor, you want to do À lms that give you creative satisfaction, where the roles are well-written and the characters are Á eshed out. So I am just looking at these things. I don’t really look for a particular genre.” Now, that you’ve got what you were looking for, we can’t wait to watch you on screen again! RIGHT ON TIME The Indian adaptation of the international show 24, Anil Kapoor’s À rst television outing has turned out to be quite a success. And the actor wrapped up shooting for the same a while ago. Considering he was associated with the project since the very beginning, it was a rather emotional moment for him during the pack-up on the last day of their schedule. However, Anil was also extremely thankful and happy to be a part of such an interesting show. Moreover, the talented star even credits the TV series for bettering his sense of time as the format of the show is very crisp where every minute had to be accounted. So apparently, Anil has subconsciously imbibed the importance of time and has started managing his schedules much better these days. Isn’t that nice? STAR Interview “Signing 2e\\Udd BQZQ Was A Big Risk Because I Was Not The Main Lead” His pictures need no Photoshop, thanks to his Greek God body. And his power-packed performances never cease to amaze the audience. Yes, we are talking about the hunky Vidyut Jammwal, who took Bollywood by storm with an interesting debut in Force two years back. Now, the heartthrob left everyone in awe yet again with his act in the recent Á ick Bullett Raja. StarWeek caught up with the dishy actor for an exclusive tête-à-tête.
