Haha! "Gore Gore Mukhde Pe..." as Hindi learning material! 😂 This is such a classic RJ move to boost TRPs. Reminds me of the crazy things people did for their first jobs. Good for her that it worked!

It's a funny anecdote, but honestly, isn't this a bit unethical? Pretending a major star is in your studio to get listeners? I get it was for fun, but the line between prank and deception is thin.

The listener calling from Punjab to ask if Katrina speaks Punjabi is the most relatable part! We always want our stars to connect with our local culture. "Punjabi Katrina Kaif" is a great compliment!

This is peak Bollywood content. Only in India would this happen! The pressure on morning show RJs is real, and you have to get creative. Sugandha's career graph is inspiring.

Akshay Kumar calling it brilliant says it all. It's these off-the-cuff, crazy ideas that sometimes make for the best radio. Shows how much star power Katrina Kaif had even back then.
