Neil, a big fan of his mom
If actor Neil Nitin Mukesh had his way, he would want to be reborn as the son only of Nitin and Nishi Mukesh.

Anything for friendship, says Asin
‘Friendship is like a see-saw. You don’t mind going down to see your friend rise’ — and that’s an adage that actress Asin Thottumkal seems to truly believe in.
While solving a fight between two friends for an episode of UTV Stars’ ‘Superstar Santa’, Asin revealed how her close-knit gang of girls gets insecure sometimes due to her success in Bollywood.
The ‘Ghajini’ actress has a group of six to seven female friends, who are like daughters to her parents. As much as they are all close to each other, they get insecure that she can’t meet them as often as they like due to her film commitments.
There have also been times when this has led to misunderstandings amongst them, but Asin says she has always made it a point to clarify the matter before it got out of hand.
She even admitted that she says ‘sorry’ though it may not be her fault, and that she she will continue to do so forever.
The episode of ‘Superstar Santa’, featuring Asin, will air Sunday.
