Description This is no joke. When it comes to telephone lines and internet connect with his fans, it is Shahid Kapoor who is poster boy for all phoners — at least where ZOOM is concerned.

Tonight its the industry hottie who is gonna take calls from his fans from all over the world — some of who will stay awake at odd hours across the world to chat with their Badmaash Company hero. And ever since weve opened lines to log the callers, weve already been flooded with calls from fans of Shahid for Ring-A-Star, from all over the world. At last count, over 2000-plus calls from all part of the globe. When we told Shahid that he may have to face a deluge later today, he couldnt stop grinning and is eager as hell to connect with his fans directly. I am overwhelmed and humbled, said Shahid to us when being informed of the phone-flood. Its a different feeling altogether to speak directly with your fans. They say such wonderful things that just make your day. And even their mild criticisms are so well-meaning. Nothing beats the power of fans. And nothing beats the power of direct connect. I thank ZOOM for this opportunity via this exciting new show Ring-A-Star. So do call me tonight? he winked like the badmaash he is. Talk about being a pin-up boy — for all call centeres <b>...</b>
