    AJAY DEVGN

    Lust: Have you ever lusted for any one?
    Of course. It‘s very natural for a human being to lust after somebody.
    Gluttony: One food item that you can‘t resist.
    I just like good food. Any kind of good food.
    Greed: Have you ever done a movie just for money?
    Lots of them. I think first 5/10 years of our career we just did films because we were working and we were getting money.
    Anger: One person who has angered you the most?
    One person whose angered me the most is one of the political people who had without reason had got me stuck on the Raju Chacha set in the South, which led to a loss of crores of rupees.
    Envy: Someone you envy?
    No.
    Pride: You think it‘s a sin to be proud?
    Why would pride be a sin? You can be proud of so many things. You can be proud of yourself; you can be proud of your friends, your family whoever you want.
    Sloth: Are you guilty of laziness?
    Yes, so many times because I am a very lazy actor.

    AMEESHA PATEL

    Lust: Have you ever lusted after any one?
    Brad Pitt and Rahul Gandhi, one stimulates me visually and one stimulates me intellectually.
    Gluttony: 1 food item you cannot resist.
    Sev puri and pani puri from the dirtiest place on the road. I love chaat and a good desert. I am a chocoholic.
    Greed: Have you ever done a role for money?
    No I haven‘t. I wish I had, considering the fact that I have done quite a few lousy films in my life. I wish I would have been paid well for those films, atleast that would have made up for it. .You feel bad for the film but at least you have your bank balance growing.
    Anger: One person who has angered you the most? Do you have a temper?
    You know who angers me the most is our Indian government, the BMC.
    Envy: one person you envy?
    Madhuri, I envy her talent and the way her feet just move, wow.
    Pride: do you think pride is a sin?
    No, I think you should be proud of the good work you do. Pride and ego are 2 different things. If you can handle pride without having an ego it‘s a positive but if you have pride with a lot of ego, pride‘s going to fall. Pride is very subjective I think.
    Sloth, laziness: Are you guilty of it?
    ?????

    AMRITA RAO

    Lust: Have you ever lusted after any one?
    Superman.
    Gluttony: One food item that you can‘t resist.
    Sev pui.
    Greed: Have you ever done a role just for money?
    Ya. I have, I wouldn‘t deny that but it won‘t be fair to name the film.
    Anger: One person who has angered you the most?
    Men, it could be any category of men. When I see them sizing up a woman, looking at them from top to bottom, checking them out. I just don‘t like that.
    Envy: One person you envy most?
    I do envy you Omar. You get to spend time with all these beautiful girls.
    Pride: You think it‘s a sin to be proud?
    Pride that is warranted and in limited doses is not a sin.
    Sloth: Are you guilty of laziness?
    No. I am someone who cannot just sit and really do nothing the whole day.

    ARJUN RAMPAL

    Lust: Have you ever lusted after any one?
    Yes I have.
    Gluttony: One food item that you can‘t resist.
    Chocolate cake.
    Greed: Have you ever done a movie just for money?
    Yes
    Anger: One person who has angered you the most?
    Anger‘s a very scary emotion and yes you do get angry I think it takes over very quickly but should also leave or one should overcome it just as quickly.
    Envy: Someone you envy?
    No.
    Pride: You think it‘s a sin to be proud?
    Pride is something that everybody should have.
    Sloth: Are you guilty of laziness?
    I can get lazy at times but recently I‘ve not been because I think there‘s so much to do and so little time.
