Move over Salman Khan!

Guess who was spotted with Kareena Kapoor? None other than our home-grown superstar Fawad Khan.

Though Kareena's been busy lately, promoting Bajrangi Bhaijaan, she obviously had enough time to hobnob with flavour of the month, Fawad.

Fawad's been all over Bollywood lately. It all began with a friendship with Khoobsurat co-star Sonam Kapoor, who recently said of Fawad: "What does one say about a man who is gorgeous and gifted with magnificent acting talent?" Following that, Fawad's been spotted with a whole host of other Bollywood celebs.

Here he is with Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt:

Here he is with Sidharth Malhotra:

And here he is with a whole host of other celebs like Karan Johar, Kangana Ranaut and Zoya Akhtar at a Bollywood party.

We can't wait to see who Fawad's going to hang out with next... Big B, perhaps?

Despite all this attention and acceptance from Bollywood elites, this industry is cruelly competitive. The success in the film industry of Bollywood stature does not come easily. A few mistakes in selecting right role or poor script might make him return to his hometown like his little senior fellow Ali Zafar.

Fawad Khan, yes liked him in the serial Zindagi... . Ab Hindi movies mein he should avoid getting typecast and do something which will endear him to the masses and not be a Prince or Zamindar a rich tycoon or anything like that

I prefer him not to sell his soul for the buck in India, ultimately, he will return to do drama and films in PK. The new films in PK have their own 'indie' flavour which differentiates them from Bollywood films.

I wonder ... When can Indian and other global artistes get the same treatment in Pakistan.....Many Pakistanis have a bloated Ego and think they are the best in every department and India is their enemy and we are bad human beings, sometimes i feel disgusted watching and hearing comments on pakistan channel on how bad india and indians are.. but this is the ground reality... Open your eyes People

these Indian film makers cast Pak actors at very low price and earn extra 5-10 cr profit from local Pakistani audience and from 5 millions Pakistanis who lives in Gulf, USA, Europe etc.... this is pure business...they are earning extra profit from Pakistani audience.... but we fools think this is friendly gesture and our actors are promoting Indian culture and Indian movies, instead of reviving Pak film industry :(

From the past many years, many Pak actors actresses have been coming to India,,,working in 2-3 lndians movies.... after some time when they don't get work in movie, then they work in big boss or some other Indian tv shows for few episodes....and finally they disappear

Good looks and acting skills alone are not enough to make it to Bollywood. Thousands of students pass out from the Film Institute in Pune every year . Very few get rolls in Bollywood movies let alone getting lead roles. It takes a lot to reach where the 3 khans and other top guys have.

@Doniya She was born in Mumbai and so was her father and her uncles and aunts. Her mother's entire family is Indian. Same thing with her husband's family. It is not as though Prithviraj Kapoor - her great grandfather was native to Peshawar. His one son - Raj Kapoor was born in Peshawar, second son Shammi Kapoor was born in Mumbai and third son Shashi Kapoor was born in Kolkata. Raj Kapoor was settled in Mumbai long before partition and so also Prithviraj Kapoor.
