While most stars twirled for the cameras, Anurag Kashyap tried his best to avoid the media. Fresh off a controversy which started when he posted a conversation with a journalist on Facebook and revealed her contact details to his one lakh followers, he simply walked off with a 'Namaste' when quizzed by the gathered mediapersons.

Aamir Khan too pulled an Anurag Kashyap. The actor who was accompanied by the debutants of Dangal, was in no mood to answer controversial questions be it the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil debacle or the hashtag BoycottDangal. He simply replied, "MAMI se poocho," and walked off. (See video above)

On the other hand, Zoya Akhtar decided to speak about the hot button topic, the troubled release of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
"It is unfortunate that the film and the filmmaker are being targeted. Karan did not do anything wrong, he did not break any laws. The visas were granted by the government and the actors worked here legally. He shot the film when the situation was pleasant but now at the time of the film's release, he is being bullied," said Zoya.
It will be a starry week! Are you excited?
