It's been a mad, mad week...hooked up with Saif onÌýThurs...what a blast...he was busy on the phone making sure his kids got off at the airport safely. Sat in his bedroom where we laughed and joked about his undying love for Kareena,Ìýhow he flew half way across the world to be with her for the IIFA's for a few hours and that he can't wait to start his home production. Captain Sheetal Massi nearly fainted at how dashing he was and Sarky Shabnam kept looking at his flesh throughÌýhis torn jeans...can't take them anywhere!Ìý

Well what can we say...if Saturday's Show was stupendous. As soon as we
had finished the show had a quick debrief and the obligatory quaffs of Champagne...we got
suited and booted ..grabbed the driver and went of to IIFA fashion show - KJo
(even though he says he hates been called that - we refuse to let old habits
die) hosted and the highlights for us were Manish Mlahotra's magnificent ghagra
collection with Kareena strutting her stuff - a DIVA is Born. The doctor turned
designer Vikram Phadnis'Ìý saris with a
twist ; Rohit Bahls eclectic cuts - ( he looked dashing in his white Jodhpurs)
and Harman and Priyanka making a spectacular splash in their Love Story 2050
outfits.

Watch this video to get a taste of the chaos.Ìý M & M have been editing feverously whilst you're all tucked up in bed in the UK, so that you can get your morning dose of Bollywood.Ìý Watch this space for more.

You wait ages for a Bachchan and then three come along at once! We got into our position
at 6am and waited nearly two hours for their arrival, but it was well worth it. The Dusit Thani hotel put on a special welcome with traditional music and dancers...the Bachchans are used to a bit of song and dance! There was no reason to hang around the lobby any longer...it was time for breakfast.
They say you find out what someone's is like when you live with them, and boy have we discovered a few things about the Love Bollywood team.
Raj likes to interview stars with his flies down and power walk in hotel lobbies (the team call it mincing).
Captain Sheetal masi and Pablo can compete with Monica from Friends for the most frizzy hair in humid conditions...they've booked their appointment for Jamaican beads.
Matt the studio manager could moonlight as a spook, he has an Access All Areas fake!
Madame Shabs has given 'putting your foot in it' a brand new meaning whilst rampant Rajni has become a VIP that won't go out without a security guard.Ìý
The M & M's keep disappearing when it comes to dinner time. Don't they know we like a bit of chocolate before bedtime?
Will explain all on next week's Love Bollywood.

One of the stars of Mission Istaanbul, Zayed Khan has caused quite a stir among the girls on the team.
They were waiting for the lift and when it opened, out popped Zayed in his work out gear...the girls fainted.Ìý But there was a double whammy in store for them cos on the way back up, the lift door opened and there was Zayed again dripping in sweat! It certainly made our girls night complete.Ìý

After clocking up 6000 miles, three in-flight movies and no sleep we've arrived in the smiling city of Bangkok. The city is gripped in Bolly-Fever and there is no escape from its clutches.
Ìý
It's hot hot hot and we're not just talking about the stars! Listen to our interviews with some of the early arrivals throughout the day on the Asian Network including Diya Mirza, Urmilla and Zaheed Khan but here's what happened when we bumped into Arshad Warsi.

Stay logged into our blog for the latest happenings in the far east
We decided to get into the Bollywood mood by going to get a sneak preview of the Sarkar Raj, which is having its world premiere at the IIFA's.Ìý It stars the Bachchan's.
Ìý
Meanwhile the girls on the team got in to Bollywood mood by having a Sex and The City party.Ìý There was some last minute shopping (just got to have a pair of wedges) and lots of last minute preps of painting toenails and eyebrow plucking.Ìý No wonder they didn't get to bed till 2am.
PS: Someone one tell the interactive lads that a Â鶹Éç pass does not give you entry into girlie party!

Well it's a tough life and someone's got to do it - The IIFA's are all set to light buzzing Bangkok ablaze with all the chamak 'n dhamak of the world's largest philum industry.
The Love Bollywood Spaceship is all set to depart - the crew have been making last minute imperative decisions: Does Captain Sheetal Massi take a glitzy sari?Ìý Will Lieutenant's Rampant Rajni get upgraded? Will super kewl Leutinant Sarky Shabnam be able to hit the Malls and shop till she drops?Ìý Will Midshipmen Mintu & Mani survive without wearing jeans?

Mambo from the IIFA gave R&P an insiders tip - No, it wasn't the lowdown on who's going to win and who the surprise star performers are going to be( We know that anyway and will reveal all soon ! lol) - Mambo told us "...ITS SIZZLING HOT SO Boys BRING SOME SHORTS!..." Well after that revelation style wars broke out!Ìý Who's got the best legs - Raj or Pablo! Will we look like WHAM in Club Tropicana? How many outfits do Raj&Pablo have to take?
Ìý
Will Pablo faint when he meets Rekha? (Again) Will Raj shave his chest and go topless? Will Pablo be mistaken for Saif Ali Khan? (Again) Will Raj go DUM MARO DUM over Zeenat Aman ?Ìý
Ìý
All of these life changing questions - and more - will be answered all this week.Ìý And don't forget we are staying at the same hotel as all your favourite stars - so expect all details of all the sensational star shenanigans as Bollywood hits Bangkok.
