Lets take a minute and just look at that car, shall we? I’ll be honest, I really don’t care about what car I’m sitting in – as long as it takes me from point A to point B, I’m great! But the other night, Boss Lady MissMalini told us about the launch of BMW’s newest creation – the BMW i8, and we thought, why not keep our eyes open to things other than fashion and Bollywood, and experience something different for a change? Best.Decision.Ever! The launch was the mother of all launches, no really, move over fashion…

From laser shows to Cirque De Soleil-like acts, the circular room had space for everything from a long list of B-Town celebs, to about 6-8 BMWs driving around the area. Of course we got a chance to interact with the cricket master himself – Sachin Tendulkar!

And the ever stylish, Purab Kohli, Anushka Manchanda and Kangana Ranaut…(See what they wore here)

Of course we couldn’t take our eyes off Shahid Kapoor (sighhh!)

But Esha Gupta and Sonakshi Sinha seemed like they were in deep thought – wonder what they were thinking!

And of course (like I’ve mentioned before) Kangana Ranaut’s hair do + tattoo (I really didn’t mean what I said about fashion earlier)

So next time your boyfriend or father talks to you about cars, we suggest you sit up and listen – how else will you know what to talk about at events like these? Or better yet, take them along 😀
