Salman-Kareena were seen shaking a leg to the tunes of Fevicol Se on Bigg Boss.

Christmas may be far away but Bollywood has already put on its Santa cap. And, the gifts couldn’t get any grander.

Shah Rukh Khan has presented a superbike worth over Rs. 15 lakh bike to his Chennai Express director Rohit Shetty, Salman Khan is giving Kareena Kapoor a BMW for doing

an item number in Dabangg 2 without charging for it, and Sanjay Dutt took off his Rs. 10 lakh Hublot watch and gifted it to the action director of Zanjeer.

The list doesn’t end there. Hollywood filmmaker Steven Spielberg gifted his coffee table book to Amitabh Bachchan, and actor Sonu Sood too gave a high-end watch to director Sanjay Gupta for portraying his character of Dawood Ibrahim really well. “I feel this is definitely one of my best roles till date. Sanjay is my brother and it was something that I did on impulse,” he says.

Industry experts say giving expensive gifts is an accepted form of acknowledging a favour in Bollywood. “Giving gifts in return for work builds better relations, and gives good publicity,” says trade analyst Atul Mohan.
