Meet the tech savvy stars of tinsel town

Be it Hrithik Roshan endorsing Acer laptops or Shah Rukh Khan appearing in the advertisements of Compaq products, we have seen Bollywood stars in the technology world as well. They endorse gadgets, they are the brand ambassadors and their presence during launch of any gizmo is quite a common phenomenon. Let's check out if these stars have their fetish for gizmos behind the camera too. Meet some of the gadget-friendly guys in showbiz.

Bobby Deol A gizmo freak. He knows the working of a mobile phone even without going through its instructions manuals. He sends e-mails from his phone. He spends hours on his laptop surfing or chatting.

He makes his own family movies with his digital camera. He loves downloading TV serials and music from the net. He records music for his friends’ iPods. Addicted to video games and play stations.

Sunny Deol If he had not been an actor, he would have been an electronics engineer. He repairs everything at home right from the light switch to his TV and music systems. Actor Aamir Khan is an internet buff and was one of the first to go comp-savvy. He has his own webcam and blog... loves to chat with friends and fans. Foes not allowed.

He subscribes to techie-international magazines. Since he’s computer and internet savvy, he doesn’t have to watch TV for the newsbreaks. During long-haul trips he watches movies on his laptop.

Riteish Deshmukh “I’m not a boy-with-toys kind of a guy,” he states but he has a thing about cell phones. He changes the handset frequently. A big votary of Blackberry. If Shah Rukh is not buying toys for his children then he’s buying gizmos for himself. He’s net savvy. Can have video conference conversations with his kids.

Net-savvy, he also keeps himself updated about high-definition technology, both in the realms of DVD watching and in filmmaking.

Arjun Rampal “I’m a gizmo man,” he states and is know to edit little movies on his laptop. Also a proficient photographer, he stores the images he likes – particularly of his family and those shot on the sets – on the laptop.

At home his computer is always connected to the net. His music system is another weakness. He’s constantly burning CDs for friends. And his Porsche car is equipped with gadgets galore.

Shah Rukh Khan If he is not buying toys for his children then he’s buying gizmos for himself. He’s net savvy. Can have video conference conversations with his kids. He has all the video games and is perhaps the only actor to have a retro juke-box with super-sound in his home. He owns a communicator and is amongst the few actors who is very sms friendly.

Rahul Khanna His laptop is his best friend. He reads the newspapers on the net and replies to e-mails at lighting speed. He has his own blog and is very tech savvy. His cell phone is used to reply to messages and mails and yes sometimes, he clicks pictures too. He plays video games because “it’s therapeutic for the soul.”

Aamir Khan He’s an internet buff and was one of the first to go comp-savvy. He has his own webcam and blog...loves to chat with friends and fans. Foes not allowed.
