As it is still to debut in India, Bollywood stars are buying the iPad abroad or, better still, getting it as a gift. After sister Shweta Nanda presented one to Abhishek Bachchan, dad Amitabh blogged, "He (Abhishek) has spent the entire day sorting out the gadget. Now, I have pestered the daughter to get me my b'day gift in advance."

On May 27, Priyanka tweeted, "Finally opened my iPad." By next day her tweet was: "Me n my iPad.. we're inseparable." Deepika Padukone and Neil Nitin Mukesh were gifted iPads by producer Pradeep Sarkar after wrapping up his film Lafangey Parindey. "I was thinking of buying it but I got it as a gift," Deepika said. The first actor to announce her ownership of the tablet, Mallika Sherawat, tweeted on April 4: "Just got an iPad! :) I love it!" Earlier this week Manyata Dutt thanked hubby Sanjay Dutt on Twitter, writing, "Got my iPad. Thanks muna for gifting me one."
