Lady Narcissus
Guess old habits do die hard. Karisma Kapoor has yet to realise that TV is a different medium. The actress, a judge on Star Plus' reality dance show, Nach Baliye 4, is never found without her mirror. After each take, she touches up her make-up even though she knows that everyone on the sets is making jokes about this. Co-judge Arjun Rampal even took a dig at her saying he wanted to gift her a bigger mirror for the New Year. But Karisma doesn't care. Viva la greasepaint!
Riled and reviled

"It was so difficult pretending not to know how to cook; it comes so easily to me. I had to truly put some major efforts in unlearning my trait!" says Megha. Maybe you can feel better by cooking for others on the sets later?
