'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' is a huge hit, but as far as the story of the film goes, there wasn't much to it.

Times have changed. Girls no longer let people treat them like doormats. They take their decisions and stick to them. This makes me happy.

The horse I bet on was so slow, the jockey kept a diary of the trip.

My brother was a lifeguard in a car wash.

She's been married so many times she has rice marks on her face.
