India is hot n happening in Pak

While Shah Rukh is the most popular actor, Kal Ho Na Ho is the most watched Hindi movie. Preity and Rani Mukherjee have overtaken Aishwarya as the hottest actresses.

Elaborates Pakistani fashion designer Shaiyanne Malik, "Bollywood is always the biggest attraction for us. We love to watch Hindi films and a lot of girls are mad about Shah Rukh.

And wherever one goes, one only hears It's the time to disco ." But the younger lot can't think beyond John Abraham. Our boys in blue ain't far behind. Rahul Dravid is their first choice but Irfan is the "cutest."

There might not be a single Indian restaurant in Pakistan, but when it comes to food, Dal Makhani and Butter Chicken are the most popular dishes. Says Begum Salma Ahmad, National President & CEO of the Chambers, "There are several restaurants serving Indian food, and your Dal Makhani is most popular."

Other big hits with Pakistanis are Maharani Gayatri Devi and Dina Wadia, who visited the country during the Indo-Pak cricket series.

Reliving memorable off-field moments during the cricket series, Begum Ahmed tells us what a big draw Priyanka Gandhi was. "Right from the time she landed at the airport, she was the main attraction. She refused to sit in the special box and watched the match amidst the crowd."

Even in US, with every paki related family/event/business/.... 'Indo' is a must mix, i have seen some restaurants which tried to survive based on just 'paki' flavor failing miserably.
