A peck on the cheek, SRK's style

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has been wary of locking lips with his actresses, but during a promotional stint for his forthcoming film "Chennai Express", he almost became a serial kisser, planting little pecks on someone or the other's cheek!

During an upcoming gala episode of "Indian idol Junior", King Khan went ahead and landed a kiss on each contestant's cheek.

After each young contestant performed, Shah Rukh kissed each one of them and blessed them.

He then made his way to host Mandira Bedi and landed one on her cheek as well. Mandira and Shah Rukh even recollected their "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jaayenge" days and became a little nostalgic.

Shahid goes behind DJ console

Actor Shahid Kapoor's moves and grooves can storm the dance floor, but he has caught a new fancy for being behind the disc jockey's console at parties.

Shahid has been actively involved in learning how to DJ, and at some of Bollywood's recent parties, he has been more than happy to showcase his newly-acquired skill.

At a recent party hosted by Shah Rukh Khan, Shahid was glued to the console, and he was involved with mixing music and being a DJ. Even at a small get-together party that Shahid hosted at his place recently, he was essentially playing music for his guests, said a source.

"Shahid has been talking music. Infact, in his free time, he has also been inquiring about good DJ'ing software available," said a source.
