Mumbai, Nov 08: Actor Abhishek Bachchan is on a promotion spree for KJo’s upcoming flick ‘Dostana’, along with John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra, who happen to be the hot-bods of the much awaited flick. The trio recently featured on the small screen, where they indulged in a candid chat with Karan Johar (supposedly as a part of the film’s promotion campaign), but ended up laughing as Aby Baby took potshots at his ‘newly declared’ good friend Salman Khan.
While John was at ease and Priyanka looked simply adorable, Abhishek could be seen clutching a blue cushion throughout the show over his stomach. As they were chatting and laughing and got indulged in a light-hearted discussion about the film on the show, Karan began his rapid fire round, and that is when Abhishek went bitchy from witty and started taking a dig at Salman.
In the rapid fire round, Salman became the topic of discussion when it was Abhishek’s turn. Karan asked, “Who would you like to see next at Madame Tussaud’s after Amitabh, Aishwarya, SRK and Salman?” Abhishek promptly answered, “Me”. “And Salman?” poked Karan. “He’ll be on the side, he will paint our picture. He paints,” answered Abhishek.
Abhishek’s answer referred to Salman’s recent attempts to mend ways with the Bachchans, as the actor had quite recently gone to the extent of painting a picture of ex flame’s hubby Abhishek.

Anurag is currently filming KITES in New Mexico and Nevada, US. It was a pleasure meeting him here in Santa Fe, New Mexico quite a few times both on-sets and offsets.
