1. Shilpa Shetty

2. Salman Khan
Thinking of borrowing a handkerchief from Sallu Bhai? You just might be disappointed. This superstar steers clear of napkins and tissues too, apparently, he’s only loyal to a particular mulmul cloth. Random factoid but still rather weird.

3. Shah Rukh Khan
You’d expect that most people would spend their first salary indulging their parents/girlfriends, but not Shah Rukh!

We apologize for that pun, we’re sure it was no fun.
