'No city like London'

Sajid Khan, brother of popular choreographer and director Farah Khan, started his career as a TV anchor and stand-up comedian. His TV shows — Ikke Pe Ikka on Zee Cinema and Kehne Mein Kya Harz Hai on Sony TV — made him extremely popular on the small screen.

He made his debut as a director in Ram Gopal Varma's Darna Zaroori Hai. Last year, he directed his first full-fledged film Heyy Babyy, which starred Akshay Kumar.

Favourite holiday destination: London

There is no city in the world like London simply because of its fantastic weather. With the sophisticated lifestyle that the city offers, it always feels great to go there.

Moreover, the city has everything that a visitor would love — right from landmarks and shopping to scenic locations.

And, with a good population of Indians, you will always feel at home there.

Memorable moments in London

I can't pinpoint any memorable moment as such since I visit the place often, and I have had a great time every time.

Probably the day I have a horrible experience in London, it may end up becoming my unwanted memorable moment but I hope nothing like that ever happens.

What not to do in London

Do not urinate on London streets as you will have to pay an enormous amount of fine and that too in pounds!

Three must-haves on a holiday

My passport, airline ticket and my … ummmm, suitcase.

Any other favourite destination?

Dubai is equally good. The place is lovely and has everything one looks forward to during a vacation.

For me, Dubai is a cleaner version of Mumbai, and tax-free at that. Also, the people are nicer. The best part about Dubai is that it is just a couple of hours from Mumbai by air.
