This is what he said about Jaipur. ‘Jaipur's theatre is very good. But the youth should not blindly go to Mumbai. Before going to Mumbai one has to have the experience of acting.

Rahul Dravid: Cricketer
‘Every city has shopping malls, but this city has heritage and culture that attracts me. The crowd in Jaipur fascinates me. The SMS stadium ground and its facilities are very good. I have tasted the local cuisine in plenty, which is excellent. I don't like going to shopping malls, I like going to Amer Fort.
Bobby Deol: Actor
‘I came to Jaipur when I was a child. Many of my father's films and my films have been shot here. Whenever Jaipur is mentioned I remember the food, especially ghewar.
Geeta Kapur: Choreographer
Bollywood Choreographer and Reality Show judge Geeta Kapur was in the city on Tuesday. She came here to participate in an award ceremony. She also watched the match between Royals and Delhi at SMS stadium. Famous as Geeta Ma amongst children she also commented on dance and reality shows. In her words, ‘One can't see the role of a judge as a career. One has to do a lot of work to become one. Then that experience makes you a judge. As a judge you select someone, reject another, that doesn't mean it is the end of the world. Whatever you have to get you are bound to achieve. If one door closes another opens up. One should live life to the fullest. If a judge says something one should not take it to heart and do something to oneself. It is our responsibility to appreciate talent and guide it correctly. Today all kinds of dance forms are being appreciated. When in a reality show someone does something wrong or distasteful we stop them'.
R. Madhavan: Actor
R. Madhavan participated in Jaipur's Rajasthan Fashion Week. This is what he had to say. ‘Like Aamir, I want to do less and quality films. Bollywood unlike the other film industries in the country is technically very sound. I keep walking the ramp from time to time. I like doing fashion shows for charity'.
