Tol mol ke bol
Mark you words before you shoot from the lip


A word shot off the mouth is like a stone from a sling. That’s why it’s imperative to carefully choose you words before you pull the trigger. Once fired, these words can be interpreted in different ways.

Our esteemed celebs from Tinsel town have a habit of shooting from the lip. Often, they end up biting the bullet. Nevertheless, these verbal missiles make great headlines. Let’s roll back the clock and unravel some of the crispy quotes of 2008. That’s not all; we’ve got Miya Moohphat to comment on every quote.

Miya Moohphat brooks no malice to anyone. So enjoy this for its flavour and its spirit.

Amarr Upadhyay
“Before Rajeev, it was me who broke the jinx for television actors”

Said Amarr Upadhyay when told that Rajeev Khandelwal has led the way for other TV actors with the success of Aamir.

Miya Moohphat says, “Couldn’t agree with you more Amarr. During that period, you were the first television superstar to break from the small screen and move to films. But huzoor, unlike Rajeev, we’re still waiting for that elusive big hit from you.”



Rahul Mahajan
“Through Bigg Boss, I’ve come out clean and no longer does anyone think of me as a wife beater.”

Said Rahul Mahajan in response to being asked why his marriage failed. Rahul’s ex-wife Shweta had accused him of physical abuse.

Miya Moohphat, “Ho ho ho ho! So how did the scars on Shweta’s body come about?”



Sonal Sehgal
“TV actors mainly work to pay off their bills”

So said former TV actor and Bollywood bound Sonal Sehgal when reflecting on the ills of television.

Miya Moohphat says, “Oye kudiye, tussi bahot sahi gal kitti hai. However, it’s a different matter that your first film Aashayein, starring John Abraham, is yet to take off. However, you did impress with your cameo in Ghajini. I’m sure the money that you got from it was enough to pay your bills.”



Smriti Iraani
“It was a God send opportunity”

These were the words that Smriti Iraani reportedly used on describing her return to Kyunki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi.

Miya Moohphat says, “My dear Tulsi, I couldn’t agree with you more. It was God who brought you back in Kyunki…. However the very same God also connived to wield the timely axe on Kyunki…. But all’s well that ends well and hence the end of the show spelt bliss for all couch potatoes who were burdened by the painful and the customary viewing of Kyunki..



Sanjay Nirupam
Bigg Boss will do more harm to my political career”

Congress spokesperson Sanjay Nirupam responded to a query on how an appearance in Bigg Boss would benefit his political career.

Miya Moohphat says, “Ahhhh! Was Nirupam ever part of Indian politics?



Sajid Khan
“If I were gay, I wouldn't be ashamed of myself.”

Sajid Khan defended himself after semi nude pictures of Riteish Deshmukh and him cozying up to each other in a towel were flashed across all channels, newspaper and magazines. Inevitably, Sajid vehemently denied these tales but not before remarking that even if he was gay he wouldn’t be ashamed of himself.

Miya Moohphat says, “Hmm! I like such liberal minded people. However, why is it that both Riteish and you are still single?”



Zulfi Syed
“Rahul Mahajan used to swear by the Gods and yet lie.”

A dejected Zulfi Syed raised this point while hitting out against fellow Bigg Boss contestant Rahul Mahajan

Miya Moohphat says, “Zulfi miya ab bagawat karke kya fida. Besides, speaking the truth didn’t enable you to win Bigg Boss. Please remember nice guys often finish last."



Aman Verma
"I would love to portray the role of a woman or maybe even a gay character. That's the only thing left for me to do on television"

A then idle Aman Verma revealed his secret desire.

Miya Moohphat says, "Secret? Well, after the casting couch controversy, we thought Aman had put all his desires to rest."



Raja Chaudhary
“When Abhishek Bachchan came to the house, he took me in a corner and explained the Guru mantra to me, ‘jab log tumhari burai karne lage toh samjho tarraki kar rahe ho. I followed that mantra and reached the finals.”

Said Raja Chaudhary on being quizzed whether he played dirty politics during his stay in Bigg Boss.

Miya Moohphat says, “Arre Rajaji, lagta hai Abhishek ka filmy gyaan ka tum par kaafi asar pada hai. That explains why you went on a binge, messed with people on the streets and landed yourself into jail and finally under rehab center. But I don’t blame you for it. After all you were blindly following your Guru’s words. If anyone is at fault then its AB.”
