We love putting the stars in a spot- so we gave them the One Minute Challenge. We ask them a question, wait for them to answer and then just stay quiet to see how long it takes before they start freaking out.
Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma were put through the challenge by Lokesh who met them at the 8th Dubai International Film Festival before the premier of their film Ladies vs. Ricky Behl. Ranveer did not do too badly, but Anushka is a whole other story...

Enjoy Hi Tea with Sima Ved from May 7th on a brand new chat show on Star Plus.
Sima, who is also the Group Vice Chairperson of Apparel Group, brings genuine warmth and a cheeky charm that results in a wonderful new talk show inviting the viewers to participate as though they were sitting in on an afternoon tea and catch up with her and her guests, not to mention learning a recipe or two along the way.
“To give the show even more variety we shot between India, Dubai and Switzerland. The mix of settings and style reflect the sort of guests featured on the show and add an extra touch of interest and intrigue so that people have to tune in to hear the latest news and gossip right from the guests themselves. We also wanted to make it interactive and informative for the viewers and this is where the cooking section comes in as I want people watching to take even more away from the show,” said Sima Ved.
‘Hi Tea with Sima Ved’ remains very much a Dubai centric show with the lifestyle and identity of someone who has grown up in the UAE clearly coming though. Sima combines the elements of her cultural heritage with those of her upbringing, and as such is relatable to viewers from this region and beyond.
Sima’s interviews provide the viewer with insights into the daily life, struggles, achievements and aspirations of each of her guests; the cooking segment provides a more lighthearted piece and keeps the tempo upbeat as they journey through the cooking process together.
Quotes from celebritiesUstad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan:
"I was thirteen years old when I started singing alongside Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Sahab, and at that time I didn't know whether I will do this right or not because the only thing I knew was that I have to do this."
"I learned singing so I could sing, not to follow a certain genre. I have my own singing style and I am happy with, I don't care whether I get to sing many or few songs."
"It is easier for an artist to enter the industry when he belongs to a family which is already known in the circle. But at the same time, the expectations are very high as he has to keep up with the standards already set by his seniors and although doors open up easily for him because of his background, it becomes that artist's choice whether to keep that door opened by his hard work and talent or let it shut by not working hard."
Sunil Shetty
“I prefer no profile rather than low profile. Even low profile is the profile for me, I would rather have no profile for me.”
"The day I get out all I want is to be known as a good human being. And what do you look for finally, when you are there at the top, everybody talks about you. when you are out, is when people should also remember you."

Happy Siblings Day on City1016! And as always we did something completely different.
