Questions by sangeeta
watched jassi from 1st day ...what will armaan do to win jassi back...if you had to real life face situation what would you do?
A - what i share with armaan is that i am focussed...if i was armaan, i wouldnt have married mallika, i wasnt convinced with the story but then there is not much that we can do...If in real life i was so much in love with a girl like Jassi, i would have tried to keep her at all costs.
Please say helo to my aunty sharila and rathi...
A - a biggggg helloooooooooo
what attracted you to shilpa and how did you meet
A - shilpa excited me in a strange way as she was upfront & straightforward, not many in industry are like that (many are dual faced, hypocrytic). initially she didnt like me ...film guys have this bad reputation for drinking, partying, womanising.
i did none of these and convinced her that i was the one for her.

Questions by nidhi
how did it feel to work with SRK/amresh puri (nidhi)

viewers were disappointed with the marriage not happening. what do you have to say about that?
A - (embarassingly) - i have no clue - this question should be put forth to tarun....if the show has to go on for 1 year all these twists are inevitable...anything which is predictable is boring, so all this stuff has to be made up....
