  • The curious case of Imrans mismatched socks

    The curious case of Imrans mismatched socks

    MUMBAI: We know how actors these days do anything to promote their films. Recently, while promoting his upcoming film, Gori Tere Pyaar Mein in Delhi, actor Imran Khan, who looked dapper in a dark pink sweater clubbed with beige pants and blue shoes, surprised the Delhiites with a mismatched pair of socks.

     

    And the actor was flaunting it too. Imran played the same stint earlier this month on the celebrity chat show, The Front Row With Anupama Chopra. The two stints are enough to give audience an idea that the mismatched socks have something to do with the film’s story. We just hope that it has a substantial part in the film.

     

    However, Kareena Kapoor and director Punit Malhotra were also in tow with Imran. And Kareena, who has worked with Imran earlier in Ekk Main Hu Aur Ek Tu looked elegant in a black dress.

     

    The film, Gori Tere Pyaar Mein is a romantic comedy film written and directed by Punit Malhotra and is produced by Karan Johar under the banner of Dharma Productions. The film is releasing on 22 November.
