Rauf's brush with Bollywood
The Great Indian Laughter Challenge Dwitiya winner, Rauf Lala rubbed shoulders with folks from tinseltown before heading back home to Karachi. Pakistani stage actor Javed Shaikh put him on to Salman Khan. Lala had a small tte--tte with Sallu on the sets, where he also bumped into Anupam Kher. "He immediately recognised me and complimented me on my comic timing," says Rauf. Lala also met Mahesh Manjrekar. All these filmi encounters have landed Lala a role in Bollywood. Sunil Babbar has offered him a role in Party. And he is definitely giving the offer some serious thought. Meanwhile, Lala and the other finalists of the Laughter Challenge, along with the first season's finalists, will continue to enthrall in Laughter Champion Dwitiya, which will air on Star One from July 14.
