Farah Khan jeweller designer and Farah Khan choreographer Farah Khan Ali, the jewellery designer, recently received a mail about the hotel booking which she never did. &ldquo;The identity crisis is a part of life now I have changed my name to Farah Khan Ali and I hope the other Farah Khan changes hers to Farah Khan Kunder! I had to call up the manager of this hotel and tell him that they have sent the mail to the wrong Farah. <img alt="Farah Khan" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/may/Farah-Khan_1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 417px;" /> I also receive bare chested pictures of these hot hunks wanting to act in movies and I keep wondering why I am getting these mails.&rdquo; Farah Khan, the choreographer turned producer has a different set of problems. She says, &ldquo;I get these invitations from really top haute couture designs and I know they are not for me. She gets a lot of flowers and gifts meant for me. The funniest thing perhaps is when Shah Rukh sent a sentimental message meant for me to her.&rdquo; Kunal Roy Kapur Actor-director Kunal Kapoor Actor Kunal Roy Kapur and Kunal Kapoor also have had their share of hilarious incidents. Once Kunal Roy Kapur got a call to judge a college fest. As he was out of town he said he won&rsquo;t be able to. The caller to his embarrassment then asked if someone else from Rang De Basanti team will be able to make it. <img alt="Kunal Roy Kapur,Kunal Kapoor" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/may/Kunal-Kapoor.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 300px;" /> &ldquo;Instead of explaining them the goof up, I simply told them that none of them are free. This keeps happening every once in a while with me.&rdquo; The other Kunal Kapoor had once mentioned that he gets a lot of calls meant for Kunal Roy Kapoor for acting offers in theatre and also some call to ask for Siddharth&rsquo;s (Kunal Roy Kapur&rsquo;s brother) number.u00a0 Rajat Kapoor Actor-director Rajat Kapoor Theatre personality Rajat Kapoor the actor, director and writer shares a funny incident when once a person mistaking him to be Rajit bombarded him with calls all day. &ldquo;Our names are different. <img alt="Rajat-Kapoor, Rajat-Kapoor" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/may/Rajat-Kapoor.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 300px;" /> Rajat and Rajit. But people get confused. It&rsquo;s funny because I get calls for roles etc. and then I come to know they are offers meant for Rajit and not me. It becomes a little embarrassing at times.&rdquo; Shabina Khan costume designer-turned-producer Shabina Khan choreographer Choreographer Shabina Khan and costume designer-turned-producer Shabina Khan both have stories -- of hilarious phone calls and baffling invitations -- to tell about each other. <img alt="Shabina Khan" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/may/Shabina-Khan.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 300px;" /> Shabina, the choreographer gets calls for costume designing all the time. &ldquo;In fact, a well-known journalist carried my interview and I couldn&rsquo;t stop laughing when I read that costume designer Shabina Khan has now turned into a choreographer! Now since I have also started with my production house, I guess that&rsquo;s enough reason for more confusion. When I used to assist Ganesh Acharya, Shabeena used to come on the sets once in a while and I would feel good about the fact that someone like her shares my name &rdquo; She says, &ldquo;Recently when MiD DAY carried a story of Sunny Leone taking dance classes from me, a journalist asked me how I turned into a choreographer from a costume designer and I had to explain that we are not one person. Sometimes I receive invitation cards intended for her.&rdquo; Shabina Khan, the costume designer-turned-producer, is facing similar problems, &ldquo;I get so many calls to ask when I am reaching for the rehearsals and when is the next dance schedule. Also at times I get all the queries regarding a movie and then they say how much will I charge for one song and that is when I realise that they have contacted the wrong Shabina!&rdquo; -- Compiled by Asira Tarannumu00a0
