Lessons from Bollywood: How to use a mirror

Here's a quick riddle.
Actors can spend hours in front of it. They adore it; almost worship it as much as themselves. Especially when they are looking right into it.
They're also terrified of what it may reveal.
What is it?
You guessed right: it's the mirror.
Whether it's on the wall or vanity van, movie stars cannot have enough of it.
We can see glimpses of this fixation on celluloid too. Here are umpteen examples of the variety of activities you can do in front of the mirror courtesy the one and only Bollywood.

Admonish your sloshed, spanked reflection and repeatedly remind it to never touch 'Daru' like Amitabh Bachchan's Anthony Gonsalves in Amar Akbar Anthony.
Andaz Apna Apna
Aamir Khan

Congratulate your outer 'mahapurush' like a super narcissist Aamir Khan in Andaz Apna Apna.
Darr

Carve K-K-k-k-iran's name on your chest with a fruit knife because watermelons are clearly out of season like Shah Rukh Khan in Darr? We don't think so!
Lamhe
Sridevi
