After setting many youngsters' heartbeats racing, Bollywood's latest poster boy Imran Khan is back once again to do that with his action filled movie Luck.

This dude chatted all the way from London as he was busy promoting his forthcoming film Luck. But those who were not 'Lucky' enough to catch Imran on the live chat, we bring you the excerpts.

“It’s hard for me to think of dating someone else. We’ve been together for six and a half years” – Imran Khan

Imran Khan: hi guys - I am here for my new film LUCK

Sonam: Hey Imran, I discovered this very cute nick name for you, immu. How sweet is that APPLE PIE!! So here are the few things which I wanted to share with you .I have watched all your films and noticed that you get very nervous on the sets I guess when you deliver your dialogues, you end up delivering them very fast and the second thing as you say your dialogue you tend to raise your eyebrows a lot every word you say which I consider a distraction for audiences. You sure got the good looks infact you look like Robert pattison but coming to the point I think you should relax and imagine whatever character you are playing kabir, jai etc as its you and how would you react in whatever situation.

Imran Khan: thanks for the feedback sonam... honestly, I hate it when people call me immu, I prefer just Imran.

Anu: What is your role in Luck???

Imran Khan: Anu, I play a normal guy caught up in the world of human betting.

Sonam: Hey it's near about 2.30 in Canada. I would be participating in Femina Miss India 2010 upcoming one. Any advice on winning it?

Al: hey Imran... u'r good actor... Why do you think kidnap didn't do well?? It was a brilliant film! What went wrong?
