Just now few minutes ago I finished watching “Jhoom Barabar Jhoom” mind blowing, I love it. Abhishek, Bobby, Lara and Priety all were cute and sweet in the movie.

If you look at the picture, you will notice that after sometime of being bold with the patch in front of the media and cameras, he must have got embarrassed and tried to hide the patch with his hands.
