Hrithik Roshan gifts Cartier watch to Sanjay Leela Bhansali on birthday

It seems Hrithik Roshan carries his relationship with his director beyond the movie sets. Now that "Guzaarish" is over and done with, the actor has not only kept up communication with director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, he even sent an expensive gift on his birthday.

A beautiful Cartier watch with best wishes from Hrithik arrived at Bhansali's residence Feb 24. This was followed by a phone call.

"Hrithik didn't have to do this. We shared a very comfortable working relationship during 'Guzaarish'. Now when 'Guzaarish' is over and there's no talk of another film with him, Hrithik has still kept in touch. That's very rare in this profession where relationships change every Friday," said Bhansali who turned 48 this year.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali gets net savvy on his birthday

Sanjay Leela Bhansali turned 48 on Thursday with a not-so-quiet lunch with his close friends, associates and assistants, he also decided to change the course of his life.

At 48, SLB turns into a netizen. He is determined to master the commands on the computer at any cost.

Oops!

His birthday resolution is to write his new script on the computer. And never mind if the first ten pages of his proposed next film were lost when the comp-challenged filmmaker punched the 'delete' button by mistake.

For an artiste who sends out no more than two SMSes a week, and that too under duress, getting on the computer would seem like a Herculean task.

Tech unsavvy

SLB is now struggling manfully with the intricacies of the internet, all thanks to his two little nieces who had begun to look at him like a dinosaur for being so ignorant of computer technology. Laughs Sanjay, "I barely know how to turn on my CD player.

I had never touched the computer before. My sister's kids had seriously begun to make fun of me. They said, 'Maama, get onto the net because that technology is on the way to becoming obsolete."

Thanks to his accountant Chetan whom SLB took into confidence, he is very slowly learning to put on the computer and access the internet. "My next script will materialise on the net, no matter what it takes," promises SLB.

And he promises to double his output of SMSes from two a week to four by the end of this year, "About time I moved on with the world."
