Blind: Guess who?

Now that everyone in Bollywood and her pet pooch are in the throes of the selfie culture, where one's appearance is on display 24x7, followers and fans are offered a word of caution. Not everything you see in your favourite star's photographs is real. Your icon might be looking like a million bucks with the perfect smile, abs, butt and branded accessories, but all that might be fake including the last. Apparently, so obsessed are the stars with luxury branded goods to complement their perfect physiques that they often get taken for a ride. This nugget was shared by a Bollywood insider about a certain young star, who wanted to gift his leading lady an expensive, limited-edition line of designer luggage wear. "He mentioned this desire to a leading facilitator (in the old days, they were aka chamchas), who promptly arranged to have the goods sent in their original packing. Of course, the actor was thrilled and paid for the items before presenting them to his lady love. What he was not aware of was that the facilitator had procured them from a far-east country, celebrated for its quality fakes. Not only was the actor royally conned, he was also heard raving about the facilitator's enterprise, to a well-known producer with a penchant for luxe goods. Oh dear!
