In Nanhe Jaisalmer, the entire premise of the movie is that the boy Nanhe is friends with Bobby Deol, as played by himself, Bobby Deol-which is really, really weird. Random examples I can think of right now include Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna's "Simran!" moment, Kal Ho Naa Ho (Rani and Kajol's two-second appearances in "Maahi Ve" Daadii pinches the boy's cheeks and tells him he looks just like Rakesh Roshan and is corrected: " Hrithik Roshan! Stop it Daadii!") and Jhoom Barabar Jhoom (Abhishek says ".our Bachchan!" when he and Preity are talking about Madame Tussaud's the side-car motorcycle ride Abhishek's "Hey Handsome!" ringtone the "she's no Miss World!" line*). In fact, I would say most Bollywood movies I've seen incorporate at least one of these elements, and sometimes more than one. I have seen many, many Bollywood films where the characters either mention other Bollywood stars who are not in the movie, or where the filmmakers include random gratuitous cameos by other stars (usually in a song, but not always) who just seemed to have popped by the set for a minute, or where the film itself references another movie, or where a song from another movie is used in the background or sung by a character.
