So what if their last films haven't done so well, these actors are back to interacting with their fans and not running away from them!
Our much respect goes out to Jr Bachchan who's had a rough time at the Box office with KHJJS and Raavan. He tweets, 'phew! it's been a rough week! but... you gotta take it on the chin, gather all your strength and get back in the ring. but this time you have to come back stronger and more determined. thank you for all the love and support! you make it all worthwhile.'

Ah, so much grace these Bollywood stars have! Yaana Gupta is following suit too. She tweeted before her telly debut on Sunday on Jhalak Dikhlaja and the messages from her fans, 'Thanks 4 you wishes and nope,haven't forgotten 'anything' this time.sorry 4 letting u down guys:-).'
