Ever since a couple of Bollywood superstars took their fingers to the keyboard, suddenly India seems to have woken up to the world of blogging. Amitabh Bachchan's rant against a journalist, who hasn't been polite to his family, has taken over morning tea discussions and Aamir's dog is called Shahrukh – all the aunties could be seen disappointingly shaking their heads in kitty parties.
We bring you which blog' is worth a read and what you can expect to find when you log onto these stars' not so personal diaries.
Amitabh Bachchan
What to expect: Most of Big B's blogs are about getting back at those who have wronged him or his family. But that's not all… it also has generous doses of pictures from his upcoming films and interviews with other journalists that are also uploaded – guess to ensure he isn't misquoted!
What not to expect: An actual and true insight into the Bachchan parivaar
Frequency: Bachchan has discovered a new toy and sometimes blogs numerous times a day…. So there's always something new every single day.
Read it if you miss seeing Amitabh's Angry Young Man persona!
Masala Meter: 3.5/5
Aamir Khan
What to expect: Straight forward, no nonsense and to the point short entries by the star. With of course the occasional controversy causing statements…
What not to expect: Any earth shattering confessions – Aamir's blogs are as measured as any of his other interactions with the public and media.
Frequency: There is no fixed day when AK blogs. On an average he blogs every fortnight which also makes it slightly more believable that he is actually writing them.
Read it if you would like a chance to interact with the fans because he is known to meet and greet his fans when he travels to different cities for filming.

Ajay Devgan
What to expect: Nothing. One of the most basic diaries with entries that seem more like a GPS tracking device for the actor. Having begun early this year most Ajay's entries are about where he is or where he has arrived from or where he is heading!
What not to expect: Any insight into the actor.
Frequency: In the lead up to his film release, Ajay quite frequently updated the public about how well U, Me Aur Hum was doing. His last entry was a month back.
Masala Meter: 1/5
Salman Khan
What to expect: Some of Salman's famous rock star attitude mixed with his special connect with the fans. Also coinciding with the airing of his first ever hosting stint on the telly be prepared for a lot of plugging for the show.
What not to expect: What really happened between Salman and Aishwarya!
Frequency: Recently begun Sallu bhai has been blogging quite regularly.
