Manoj--Can i buy you a drink

GAURAV CHOPRA I've been a victim of these pick-up lines, more so after Nach Baliye. But I remember one quirky line , which hap- pened three years ago, when I was new to this city. I went out partying with a few friends and danced with one of Shiamak Davar's trainee dancers. I complimented her on her skills. In return, she said, "You're a great dancer too and you know what people say about men who dance this well? They're really good in bed!" Don't ask me what happened after that… MONA SINGH Ihaveaveryhomelyappeal. Men assumethatI'maseedhi-saadhi Pun- jabigirl. SoI'vereally neverhadany mancominguptomewithacheappick- upline.

SACHIN SHARMA I've been a witness to many kinky pick-up lines, and trust me it's fun. The one I remember is this cute girl who came up to me and said, "Can I buy you a pizza?" This may sound very typical, but it actually worked. In fact, all lines have worked with me till date. I've also had girls telling me, a "Hey, I like your shoes," even though the pair is a decade-old. PURBI JOSHI Iwillhavetorackmybrainsforthisone.

MANOJ BOHRA That's a tough question. Well, on and off, there have been quite a few people who come to me and pass weird lines. To be honestly, after my mar- riage to Teejay, I've encountered more pick-up lines than ever before. The latest was this girl who frowned and asked me, "You're mar- ried?" It almost seemed like heart- break. She didn't look very happy when I said yes. As told to Riya V Anandwala
