The gift of the gab
Our attention was brought to one aspect of stardom that hardly gets reported on: stars and their relationship with teleprompters: apparently Akshay Kumar insists on one even for a two-line dialogue; both Amitabh and Shekhar Suman prefer that their Hindi dialogues be written in the Devanagari script and not the usual Roman.

Shah Rukh meanwhile is reported to prefer the presence of a teleprompter but improvises considerably while using it to add flavour and freshness to his delivery.
And the cake goes to Salman, who does not take the assistance of a teleprompter at all! Apparently, even his lengthy Big Boss speeches were all done impromptu! That's called having the gift of the gab!
