Bollywood Boys Return - What a week!
Well what can we say - we are back, feeling all exhausted, exhilharated and elated. The IIFAs were a show stopping spectacular, and as always we feel privileged to be there, flying the BBC Asian Network flag. Amongst all the glitz, glam and stars, it was great to catch up in person with the Love Bollywood fans from the UK, Australia, New Zeeland, Hong Kong and India - but a special shout out to the Birmingham Boys - you guys rocked!
Raj: Well back in Blighty and have to say wish we could do it all over again. One of our highlights was when were literally left speechless from the totally unexpected words of Mr Amitabh Bachchan, who congratulated us on our interview with him. We were blown away to receive an accolade from one of the true legends of cinema. For us it was as we had received our very on IIFA!
Other highlights for us were the luscious Sushmita Sen, the giggling Sonam who like me talks to herself; the twinkling Anoushka who was making me laugh and then telling me off, being introduced by Ash to her mum and dad, Farah Khan's diamonds, Shabana Azmi singing Antakshari, Govinda revealing his days of struggle and his hopes for his daughter.
Pablo: What a week - it's been non-stop since we landed and although I'm glad to be back home I am going to miss the magic of Macau. Some of my highlights were having the first ever interview with Hrithik and Suzanne in their private suite, Priyanka giving us a personal thumbs up for our dress sense, Abhishek wearing the silver tie as we suggested and then going on to win, Bipasha revealing her secrets, Boman and Ritesh rushing to us first on the Green Carpet, Gennelia giggling and telling us "Papu CAN Dance, Raveena looking alluring, Manav dressing up most of the celebs, Peter Andre promising to review a movie for us, the ever smiling Sophiya Haque wowing everyone at the fashion show, Farhan and Arjun saying we should be in Dostana 2 & Neil Nitin Mukesh calling us his "sone pe suhaaga" and his lucky mascots.
Just a few memorable moments. Make sure you catch up with the videos/galleries/blogs on bbc.co.uk/asiannetwork
Don't forget to join us over the weekend.
Love Us, Love Bollywood
Raj&Pablo xx

Hey Guys. I have been listening your show for the past few years from NY, and I love it only because of you guys. You do a great job and I love Pablo. Now Now don't get all angry Raj. By the way whats with that sunglasses on the forehead. Are your eyes in your forehead. Sorry Kidding. Love you too, now get over it.
By the way on yesterdays show I kinda figured out which airline you are referring to when you said 'not so favorite airline'. I had a similar experience on the airline. When the airhostess came with coffee just after serving dinner I gave her my cup so that she could pour some coffee for me and she had the never to say, " Why don't you finish your dinner first and then I will give you coffee". I was stunned and did reply to her saying " Ok old lady mummy". I guess she was so offended she immediately poured me the coffee. I mean what the F.
Anyways keep it up guys and if you are in NY anytime do email me I will surely show you guys around.
