We are not going to comment on what an Indian newspaper published in mid-May about Humaima Malik. We’re not going to comment on which ex-Pakistani cricketer she confessed dating. We’re not going to comment on how much she’s in awe of that cricketer who is double her age; and that he also admires her; and that he is eagerly awaiting the release of the film Bol in which she plays an important part.

However, what we are going to comment on is Humaima’s opinion on Shahrukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan. According to the Indian newspaper, she said, “SRK is a talented actor, but I’m not that crazy about him. My all-time favourite is Amitabh Bachchan. I’d love to meet him once.”

Hmm… we are not sure if Amitabh reciprocates the feeling, despite the fact that he’s way older than her favourite cricketer… and taller.
