In Pictures: The ten best Bollywood movies
I love Bollywood. I remember being twelve, standing in front of the mirror, physically dressing up in a Shalwar Kameez, lip synching to a song picturised on Shahrukh Khan and dreaming of becoming a Bollywood star.
I've since learnt to stop chasing such ridiculous pipe dreams and convey my passion in a different way: through my breakfast show on Club Asia Radio. I've been fortunate enough to interview many of the actors and actresses I loved as a child (Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Kajol) as well as the rising stars of the modern generation (Imraan Khan, Deepika Padukone).
Listen to my radio show – The Nashta Nooshta Show, every weekday between 6-10am, with all things East and West: music, lifestyle, entertainment and culture on Club Asia Radio 963 & 972am. www.clubasiaonline.com.

Although I agree with the choices such as Black and Tare Zameen Par as they show that there's more to Bollywood then the stereotype. I have to question some inclusion such as Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and Munna Bai over films such as Shree 420, Mugal-E-Azam, Fanna, Om Shanti Om, Maine Pyar Kiya and even Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
Which I think that they had much better performances, soundtracks and overall appeal.
But I guess you cant keep everyone happy!
