Pulled many fast ones
Imran Khan pulled many fast ones on Sonam during a press conference in the capital to promote I Hate Luv Storys. Apart from calling her 'aunty' and 'blind', Imran had many more witty remarks up his sleeve.
"If you go by his looks, you'd never be able to judge him," says debutante director Punit Malhotra about the lead actor of his forthcoming venture I Hate Luv Storys. It certainly holds true for Imran, who looks like a serious person, but comes across as a funny guy.
"Contrary to his sweet looks, Imran is a devil to work with. Sonam is definitely an angel," says Punit about the actor.
Please explain to me the highlighted parts.
