She even called Salman Khan a two-faced liar, and Mahek a vulture, while showering praises on fellow contestant Akashdeep Saigal (Sky). Pooja Bedi was even seen fighting with her Twitter followers who would negatively comment about Sky. She even went on to say that Salman had turned violent over Sidharth’s fight with Mahek, which was not aired on TV.

Q. Was the average opening of Desi Boyz due to the fact that Akshay Kumar films have not been doing that well over the past two years?
Ans. Its more to do with content as the film did not look like an entertainer from the promos and it never had a big hit song and then when released most of the audience did not like it much. If these things were due to past poor/average films of established stars then their next films will never take an opening and without opening today no film featuring a big star can be a major hit.

Q. Why is that films like Ra.One and Rockstar are not liked by many but still have very good numbers?
Ans. This liked thing is dependent on a lot of factors like age, social class, etc but Rockstar was liked by youth in the big metros while Ra.One had the star power of Shahrukh Khan and a favourable release date so even with it film just being liked by under 15's in metros who form a very small segment of the paying audience the film still managed to put up a big number.
