Since Bollywood stars are notorious for being chain-smokers, and both Shah Rukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor have been fined for smoking in public, we predict these two will easily be spotted outside the Pac Rim Lobby Lounge + Terrace. The Lounge has some of the best cocktails and contemporary live music in the city and stays open late until 1:30 a.m.

Vancouver's popular shopping district set in the heart of downtown includes high street shops, fine dining, services and all the amenities a gal might need.
And lastly, if you see hordes of young South Asian women and men dashing down the street, full of excitement with cameras in hand, there's a pretty good chance someone noteworthy is around the block, so feel free to join them.
Actor-turned-recording artist, Priyanka Chopra is known to have a shoe fetish and purchases a new pair of shoes whenever she's traveling, so we're pretty sure this Bollywood beauty will be spotted at Holt Renfrew trying on a pair of the newest Louboutins.
Bollywood's royal couple, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (a.k.a Abhi-Ash) will likely be the most sought after Bollywood couple to photograph. Word is they brought their baby gal, Aaradhya, to Vancouver too, which means they'll probably take advantage of Vancouver's gorgeous beauty and enjoy a long leisurely stroll or bike ride along the Seawall around Stanley Park and the waterfront.
