Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:19 PST)

Shivu: If you really wat to write to me log on to yashrajfilms.com in a few days and you'll be able to send your comments to me and all the other five newcomers on that site.


fazlin (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 4:39 PST)
looking foward to your next film..it is amazing that the three of you managed steal some scenes even in the presence of the two big stars in those scenes...love the scene when you were caught coming back late by Narayan Shankar and were rescued by your teacher....your character really looked like he was ready to just die there and then..it was really funny...keep up the good work


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:21 PST)
Fazlin: Thanks for appreciating my work in that scene if you check out the review on rediff.com it is that particular scene that they have panned me for so it feels good to hear that from you:-)


Cindy (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 4:37 PST)
I especially liked the comedy scenes between you and Shamita...the part where she asks for a slap and you say that your hands would get dirty. You are also a great dancer as well as an actor. I really would like it if we became friends. My e-mail add is shandy@yebo.co.za


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:23 PST)
Cindy: Thanks for that I never get tired of hearing good things about me. Regarding my e-mail address like I said earlier you can send me messages from yashrajfilms.com


Rohit Kedia (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:23 PST)
Uday dont u think the same story could be conveyed in 3 hours. Also what are u guys making next?


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:24 PST)
Rohit Kedia: I think nothing could be deleted from the 3 hours 35 minuts that is there currently without harming the essence of one or more of the characters.


sona (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:23 PST)
hi uday i`m sona & i`m juss 10 & i really like..you are very sweet,cute!!! wish me best of luck for my papers r goin to be shown tomorrow!! i`m a bit nervous!!!& please mail me back i would be waitin 4 it!! so_na@mailmetoday.com


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:26 PST)
Hi Sona what are you doing chatting online when you have an exam tomorrow?:-) Anyway I guess it will help you get over your nervousness and all I can say to you is Best of luck and stay cool.


ShobhitDixit (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:26 PST)
Dear Uday, How is your brother Adi after the news of the great success of Mohabbatein?


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:27 PST)
ShobhitDixit : Adi is taking each day slowly and he is now probably going to take some time off coz this film has really taken a lot out off him.


Cindy (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 4:29 PST)
Dear Uday Mohabbatein was a BRILLIANT film. Definately film of the year in SOUTH AFRICA. What are your forthcoming films? What are your likes and dislikes? What was it like working with the other stars, especially Shahrukh, Amitabh, Jugal and Jimmy Shergill? I'd love for us to become friends.


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:29 PST)
Cindy: So many questions! I have not signed any other films as of yet but I assure you that I will only do films that I find exciting. Regarding my likes and dislikes they keep changing day to day and working with Shah Rukh and Amitabh is one of the greatest things that has happened to me especially in my first film.


frackgirl (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:28 PST)
There was one scene which u did with Mr. Bachchan where u come to Gurukul late at night. How was it preparing for the shot?


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:31 PST)
Frackgirl: I had a a sleepless night before I did that scene and being my fourth day of actual shooting I was very nervous but my brother took me through each moment of the scene step by step in the rehersals so when it finally came to perform it was fine.


ravin pal kaur (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:25 PST)
hey i am ravin pal kaur from malaysia. i think u remember me . i wrote to u a letter before u became an actor send my regards to sally ur office girl


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:32 PST)

ritz (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:0 PST)
hi uday, ur debut film was quite impressive along with ur well built body!!! who is ur fave heroine and ur dream role?


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:33 PST)
Ritz: Kajol is my fave heroine, and my dream role would be Shahrukh;s in Darr


eJAH (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:33 PST)
UDAY WHAT YOUR FAVOURITE THING IN YOUR LIFE???


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:33 PST)
Ejah: Food!!!!


ShobhitDixit (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:34 PST)
Uday, Don't you feel embarraced when girls so OPENLY propose you?


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:35 PST)
ShobhitDixit : Hell no it feels good !:-)


MsTake (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:34 PST)
hi uday! werent u paranoid about doing a kissing scene in ur firstfilm?


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:36 PST)
Mstake: I was nervous because Shamita was nervous


Abhijit (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:36 PST)
Hi Uday u have got good Muscels!! Have u worked specially for muscel building?


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:37 PST)
Abhijit: No I was just born with them..just kiddin;-) Yup I worked my ass off!


mrunmayi (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:36 PST)
Uday plese responce to my qutions r u going to do kissing seaces in your next movies?


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:38 PST)
mrunmayi: You are under the misconception that actors decide what they will or will not do in a film, the fact is it's up to the writer and the director to put such scenes in the film. So if my director asks me to do it I will.


ravin pal kaur (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:34 PST)
acha why dont you become a director . i have stories and i can help u with that . ask ur dad about this story entitled awaaz . i gave it to ur dad


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:39 PST)
Ravin kaur paul: Maybe sometime I'll turn into a director right now I'm enjoying acting too much!


PayaL (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:39 PST)

Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:44 PST)

Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:55 PST)
Freshprince: Yes and No. At some level, I'm quiet like Vicky though not as exaggarted as him but on others I'm quite different than him, it was a matter of finding that Vicky inside me and tweaking him up to a 100%


PayaL (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:54 PST)

Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:56 PST)
Payal: I have no plans for coming to LA though I love the city I did a summer course there once in filmmaking in USC.


eJAH (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:56 PST)
UDAY , WHAT THE MOST THING THAT U LIKE ABOUT YOUR SELF??????


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 5:58 PST)
Ejah: The thing that I like most about myself is that I can change as a person whenever I decide, just by changing what I believe in and that gives me all the excitement in life.

PayaL (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:2 PST)

Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:3 PST)
Kiran: My height and my hair


vikas (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:4 PST)
dear uday . i am vikas and i saw the movie mohabatein twice. I think your body is excellent . and acting is also ok. My first question is "What is the secret of your body" . My second question is " Do you wear specs because in the movie, there is spec marks. . My third and conroversial question " How did it feel to kiss SHAMITA SHETTY in the movie. How many retakes :) ..Hope u answer


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:6 PST)
Vikas: Secret of body=6 meals a day with 4-5 hours of weight training combined with cardio vascular acitivity in a week. 2] Do I wear Specs= I don't wear specs the mark that you see is a scar from my childhood 3] Kissing Shamita=You won't believe this but when you are acting infront of a camera you really can't enjoy anything you are more concerned about the way you look and you are facing, so basically it felt like work.


DARSHAN (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:6 PST)
HOW WAS U'R EXPERIENCE ASSISTING ADI IN DDLJ?


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:7 PST)
Darshan: It was one of the best times I had. I not only got to learn a lot about filmmaking but I also had the oppurtunity to work with Adi, Shahrukh and Kajol.


freshprince (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:7 PST)
BUT UDAY ISN'T 4-5 HRS OF TRAINING SORTA OVERTRAINING ??? OR DO U CLOSELY MONITOR FOR THAT ???


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:8 PST)
Freshprince: Four to Five hours over a week, not in one day!!! that's suicide.


PayaL (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:8 PST)
UDAY..HOW CAN WE GET INTO FILMCITY IN BOMBAY..I'M DYING TO GO THERE WHEN I COME TO INDIA...


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:9 PST)
Payal: Very simple, just hand over a few currency notes to the watchman. Voila!


Niketa Patel (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:9 PST)
what is it like to be a star?


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:10 PST)
Nikita Patel: I don't feel that I am a star at least not as yet I have to accomplish a lot more before I can covet that title.


Hetal Sampat (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:10 PST)
do u think only b'coz of 1 person the whole institution & the principles of a person of 25 years can change???????????????????


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:12 PST)
Hetal Sampat: I think if that one person is able to convince you to change then you will, it's all about changing ones beliefs, and belief can change due to the smallest of things. One cannot figure out human behaviour. But it is always interesting to see it happening on screen.


kumeee (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:13 PST)
i heard yr brother is making a solo-hero film with u... whos gonna star opposite u Uday ??


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:14 PST)
Kumee: Not at all my brother only makes films for himself if he has a subject and he would like me to be in it I'll of course do it but he will nver make a film just for me.


ravin pal kaur (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:13 PST)
do u play cricket with ur brother every sundays . what r ur hobbies . mine are singing , dancing and reading


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:16 PST)
Ravin Kaur Paul: No I don't play cricket I have absolutely no skill for sport, maybe it's because I was very fat as a kid. My hobbies are watching movies, reading and weight training.


eJAH (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:16 PST)
uDAY WHAT YOUR OPINION ABT THIS FILM. IS IT A SLOW FILM..??


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:19 PST)
Ejah:I think anyone who finds this film slow have probably not enjoyed it, I myself enjoyed it tremendously so for me it was not slow. And hey I happen to be in the film so that kind of makes up for any slowness that I might have felt:-)


ravin pal kaur (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:18 PST)
what kind of books do u read. even i do weight lifting i read love stories . thanx for replying.mohabbat kyu hoti hai


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:19 PST)
Ravin: I love sci-fi books especially ones by Isaac Asimov and Dune is my all time fave sci-fi novel


DARSHAN (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:20 PST)
O.K SO TELL ME UDAY.DONT U THINK ABOUT THE LATEST NEWS ABOUT AMITHAB CHARGED 4 BLASPHEMY?


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:23 PST)
Darshan: I think that these people need to get a life, do they actually believe that it's wrong to say the Gayatri mantra with shoes on? When Hindu's believe that God's omnipresent, so going with that same thought they should never wear shoes. I think they just doing it for a gimmick


vikas (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:24 PST)
Hi Uday - vikas again . I am graduate from IIT Bombay .Do you believe in the moral of the film MOHABATEIN because according to the movie, you should only love and dont study. Do what your heart say and no nobody's heart would ever have said " I WANT TO STUDY" right..How do u justify the moral of the story .


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:25 PST)
Vikas: I think you got the moral all wrong, this movie may have been set in a school but it's about love and when one says to follow your heart, Raj Aryan is talking about love and as far as studies are concerned people may not like to study but they study so that they can achieve certain things in life and they in their own way are following their hearts


Jhinkal (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:24 PST)
Uday - What was ur fave subject in school?


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:26 PST)
jhinkal: My fave subject in school was lunch break I was too lazy to be mischievous but in my mind I was probably very naughty


DARSHAN (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:26 PST)
SO SINCE U'R A CAPRICON.I SHOULD THINK U'R A GUD PERSON BY HEART.BUT WHAT DO U THINK IS U'R NEGATIVE POINTS?


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:28 PST)
Darshan: I'd like to think I'm perfect but perfection in itself is a negative point, NAH I'm just kiddin, I guess I really can't make up my mind about things which I guess you can make out by the way I have answered this question


Anu (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:26 PST)
DO YOU AND ADITYA CHOPRA FIGHT A LOT BEING SIBBLINGS


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:29 PST)
Anu: We used to as children not any more! Now he is too scared of me!!(flexing my muscles) Adi don't sign off:-)


Anu (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:29 PST)
HEY UDAY...WHO WAS YOUR FIRST SECRET CRUSH?


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:30 PST)
Anu: Well if I tell you it won'y be secret anymore all I can say is I was about five years old.


Anu (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:31 PST)
AS A CHILD DID U EVER THINK THAT YOU'LL GROW UP TO BE AN ACTOR?WHAT DID YOU ALWAYS WANT TO BECOME?


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:33 PST)
Anu: As far as I can remember I've always wanted to be an actor, I went thru a phase in the middle where I wanted to be scuba diving instructor but hey that's just me, I'm here now, I'm loving it!


DARSHAN (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:33 PST)
UDAY U SOUND VERY PATEINT. MOST OF THEM SAY THE MOVIES FROM DEAD POET'S SOCIETY.BUT I THINK ITS NOT AT ALL.& EVEN IF THAT TURNS OUT 2 B TRUE,I FEEL MOHABS.. IS BETTER.WHAT U SAY?


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:34 PST)
Darshan: Adi had actually thought of this movie much before he saw Dads Poets Society. There might be a few similarities but given the kind of movies both of them are oe would expect that!


oohhbaby (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:34 PST)
Cmon Uday, ANSWER ME IF YOU THINK THERE WASNT ANY PARTIALITY FOR U FROM CHOPRA FAMILY! DONT U THINK YOU WERE GIVEN EXTRA IMPORTANCE IN THE MOVIE???


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:35 PST)
oohhbaby: Do you really think that I was given extra importance? Especially after seeing the film?


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:36 PST)
Vikas: I don't measure my biceps, I just look at myself in the mirror and if I like what I see, I'm happy!


vikas (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:35 PST)
hi uday - cool !! I was just trying to understand. I didnt tell it was my MORAL ..I saw this MOVIE twice... u should thank me :) ..one more question ..How much is ur biceps 16 or 18 inches... :)


Uday Chopra (Mon Nov 27, 2000, 6:37 PST)
Everyone: It was great talking to all of you but I have other appointments to keep and places to go and miles to go before I sleep and two more meals left to go, Bye all, stay healthy and cool!
