Tusshar Kapoor cannot thank sis Ekta enough for the boost his career has got with a film made under her banner. All the accolades and good reviews his films have been able to generate are thanks to her promotional tactics and game plan. This is something the entire industry would vouch for.

But the otherwise self-effacing actor has suddenly put on airs and is most upset with the way his co-stars walk away with all the publicity in his films. Be it Kareena Kapoor or Esha Deol, he seems to play second fiddle when it comes to attracting media attention for his performance. Recently, he went to town calling his own acting skills in comparison to Bebo's "fairly competent" though he does admit to being "a great admirer of her enormous talent." But according to the insecure star son-actor, the media blows it up so much that only actresses get to hog all the limelight.

So upset is he with all the negative reports in the press that he has decided to take up his own cause with a vengeance and calls up scribes personally to update them about the latest in his career and life. If only he know that the media is keen on an actor who delivers. Even if he tom toms about himself. By the way, in the case of gorgeous girls as your co-stars, it works both ways – their immense performing skills and public relations.Maybe you could try acting for a change, Tusshar!
