Laila and Majnu, the world’s greatest lovers are on a trip to the land of opportunity, AMERICA. After having boarded the CUPID AIRLINES, they have landed at LaGuardia Airport in New York where they are met with no other than famous SNL cast member Chris Kattan

Majnu to Laila, “Honey, Sweetheart, we have landed on the BIG APPLE. Isn’t it exciting?"

Laila looking pointedly at her curvaceous body “What do you mean calling me honey. Don’t you see I am made of Desi Ghee, Jaan?" And why is it called the BIG APPLE. Is this where Adam tempted Eve?

SNL's Chris meets them with a garland of flowers instead of the bouquet. When he tries to garland Laila, Majnu snatches it from his hand and puts it lovingly around Laila’s Neck.

Chris : Welcome, welcome, I am so glad you are here. How do you like New York. It is a great place for Lovers.

Laila “ Do you think we can see Romeo and Juliet and Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks here.

SNL Host: I am not sure whether Romeo and Juliet are playing in Broadway right now. I shall check for you. What about you. What have you two been doing in India?

Majnu: ”Oh just running around trees and what did you say 'Playing in Broadway'. What is that. In India we only play in the great Bollywood.

Laila, demurely: “And also sing lots and lots of songs.

SNL Chris: I see Just like N Sync.

Majnu: Not NSYNC, but LIPSYNC, Lipsync, see like this, and open and closes her painted lips like a duck.

Very soon the two are driven to the Times Square Hotel Marriott Marquis and escorted to their room.

Laila to Majnu, while unpacking: Jaan, “Do you remember our famous duet Koi Pathar Se na Maare Mere diwane ko” and people would throw coins at the screen. Do you think they throw coins here in theatres like they do in India?

I would love it if they do. At least they will be in US currency and we can gather all this later, says capricious Majnu.
