Mala to be back in the tale of Kairi to woo Anuj
Here we have an inside dope that Anuj’s (Jay Bhanushali) love interest Mala (Leena Jumani) is going to be back to spike up the rating in Colors’ show Kairi.

According to the current track, Kalawati (Janvi Sanghvan) throws Mala out of the house on the pretext that she's not giving her 100% to her engagement. That's when Ambi (Preeti Chaudhary) takes Mala to her house. Ambi is totally unaware of Mala's intentions. However, Kalawati supports Mala's decision to enter Anuj and Ambi's household in order for Mala to woo Anuj back.

In the coming episodes viewers will see Mala would enter in the Imarti Devi’s residences on Ambi’s insistence. The level of drama will cross the borders when both the ladies live under the same roof, but Ambi will be unaware about Mala’s bad eye on her husband Anuj, where she is trying her best to charm Anuj and applying tricks to win his heart.

Well, the character of Mala will not be called as vamp on the show she has her positive qualities and her sole aim is to win Anuj without hurting Ambi. Her character will have shades of grey, but she's won't play an out and out negative character.

Confirming the news, Leena Jumani adds, "Mala only wants to remind Anuj about her and the love they used to share. I am not out there to hurt Ambi".

Let’s see what Anuj will decide!

Drashti Dhami to tie the knot?

Drashti Dhami is in love?
Whoa TV buffs…we have got some chatpata bit of information. Our sources have informed that there is a certain someone in Drashti Dhami’s life. Who is the lucky man? Well…read on…
Well, according to our source the lead girl of Colors’ show Madhubala-Ek Ishq Ek Junoon (produced by Nautanki Telefilms) is seeing NRI businessman, Neeraj Khemka, since the past two years. Neeraj is now settled in Mumbai.
There is even a buzz that they might go ahead to tie the knot next year (2013). However, when we spoke to Dhrashti she denied being involved with Neeraj and said there, “is no one in her life.”
She also laughed off the marriage buzz.
Now, to dig deep, we also got in touch with Neeraj. “I know Dhrasthi well but we have not been meeting since she is quite busy with her shooting. We are good friends but there is nothing of marriage or anything of that sort in the pipeline.”
Furthermore, our sources also revealed that Neeraj was “unhappy” with Drashti and Gurmeet Choudhary’s chemistry in Geet (Star One) and apparently, Drashti even refused to enact a kissing scene because of Neeraj’s reservations. When we broached the same topic with Neeraj he got edgy and said, “I will not say anything because you guys will print what u want. I don’t want to talk further as I am working.”
Fair enough…When we called up again to check Drashti’s version, she got upset and said, “Where and whom are you calling up? Stop harassing people around me. I will not let you enter my set next time.”
Hmm…someone is miffed. But as they say, there’s never smoke without fire. After all ishq ka junoon chupaye nahin chupta. Have a great time ahead, Drashti!!!

Jasveer Kaur talks about her long stint with CID

Jasveer Kaur, the talented actress is looking for her next challenging project on television after she opted out of the longest running show on Sony Entertainment Television, CID. Jasveer was part of this Fireworks Productions show for two years.
Talking about her stint with CID, Jasveer says, “I have got appreciated for my cop’s role in CID. Few of my fans have told me that I am the best female cop on TV. Kids have loved the way I usually slapped criminals. The best part of the show was that since I was always dressed in jeans and t-shirts, I hardly needed time to get dressed up; in fact I used to shoot with my own jeans at t-shirt at times. Apparently my jacket or corset that I used to wear had become a rage among teenagers. I have also heard that young girls used to ape my color rubber bands.”
So if all was well, why leave CIDCID long back, when I was doing K Street Pali Hill, but had declined the offer as I could not leave Ekta Kapoor’s show.”
Ask her what’s next as it has been more than six months since she left CID, and she states, “Frankly speaking, not many would have got to know that I have left CID as repeat episodes keep airing on TV. You are the first media person to ask me about my next project, so hopefully someone from the industry would make a note of it and approach me for something new. For the moment, I am enjoying walking the ramp (latest was INIFD Fashion Show with Nisha Harale in Chandigarh).”
We hope you get back soon, Jasveer!!

Dipika Samson and Shoaib Ibrahim engulfed in flames of love

Forget the Olympics, for the real game is on between Dipika Samson and Shoaib Ibrahim. The media did report a lot about the alleged “closeness” between Dipika and Shoaib who play the leads in Colors’ Sasural Simar Ka (Sunrise Productions). It was also reported that Dipika was engulfed in love flames and went ahead to file for divorce with husband Raunak Mehta. Raunak is a pilot by profession.
Now, reports are not clear whether Dipika and Raunak are officially separated or not, but our sources have informed that Dipika has moved out of her conjugal life and is currently staying with her mother at Mira Road, Mumbai.
And the spice is that Dipika and Shoaib are head over heels in love with each other.
On the sets, Dipika and Shoaib always linger around together. Even if Dipika doesn’t have a shooting schedule, she prefers staying on the sets in order to be around her beau, Shoaib.
“They stay aloof, separated and on their own even when we hold meetings and group discussions,” the source went on to say.
Like true lovebirds, they always take care of each other. Dipika keeps a notice whether Shoaib has had food or not; or the kind of dresses he is wearing, both on and off screen.
Hmm…quite interesting. No wonder the duo has a superb romantic chemistry on-screen as well.
We got in touch with Shoaib who said, “I have a very good bonding with Abhishek Sharma (one of the co stars) too. But then some people just like creating gossip out of nothing. The one, who has told you this, about us, definitely does not have much to do in life.”
“We do come on the sets on our off days as there are times when I have to show my family the shooting or Dipika has a friend who wants to see shooting. Apart from that we also have our look tests on certain days. We are good friends and we will stay that way. These rumours will not affect our friendship,” he ended.
Dipika on the other hand remained unavailable for comment.
Well…it seems things are going steady and pretty comfy between Dipika and Shoaib. We wish them a love-filled year ahead!!!

Khushi gets caught in her own words in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon! Arnav is busy teasing her

Yesterday at 05:28pm

Khushi (Sanaya Irani) and problems can never stay apart and this has once again been proved in the recent episodes of Star Plus’ Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon.

However, this time the problem is not a scary one as it is all filled of love and the spiciness of it. As seen last, the whole family at Rayzada house is busy preparing for Janmashtami. While they all were doing their respective tasks, NK (Karan Goddwani) out of curiosity ended up asking about the importance of the day and how Lord Krishna and Radha were related to each other. This is when Nani explained the facts behind and told him how the love of Krishna and Radha stands to be above all the rules and norms of the world.

She even stated how the wedding rituals play a vital role in strengthening the bond further. As Khushi heard it all, she realized that though she and Arnav (Barun Sobti) are living as husband and wife but they haven’t had any of the rituals done. She then confronts Arnav on the same and tells him how the rituals are so important without which they can never be fully a married couple.

Playing his witty self, Arnav makes Khushi talk of all the rituals followed and this is when she accidentally ends up mentioning of the wedding night. Well, the flirty side of Arnav gets stuck to this and he advises her that they will indeed go through all the rituals but will start in the reverse order.

Khushi, who hadn’t expected such a response from Arnav, is all scared while he on the other end is enjoying teasing her to the core. Meanwhile, amidst the light hearted acts, Dadi will yet again question about Shyam (Abhaas Mehta), which will irk Arnav and he will be about to spit the truth out.

Will he will be able to tell Dadi about the same? Or we have yet another surprise in store? Let’s see what happens to Khushi now!

Dishank Arora is waiting to play lead character in a daily

Dishank Arora is waiting to play lead character in a daily
Each and every person contributing his or her acting skills in television has a desire to portray lead character on the show someday, or you can say this is a human nature to play in front foot.

Young actor Dishank Arora is also one of the actors, waiting to get a chance to play leading roles. But unfortunately for him, he has been offered roles where he plays the younger sibling of the male lead.

One can notice him playing younger brother of Yash (Gurmeet Choudhary) in Punar Vivah; the actor has again been featured to play, in the same production house’s show on Life OK Main Lakshmi Tere Aangan Ki, younger brother to Arjun (Sudeep Sahir).

“Yes, I play the role of Pratik in Shashi-Sumeet Mittal Productions Pvt Ltd’s Punar Vivah on Zee TV where I am the younger brother of Yash, and again, on Life OK Main Lakshmi Tere Aangan Ki, I play younger brother to Arjun. I would love to do a lead role, but guess I look quite young when it comes to my look.” avers the actor.

But it doesn’t mean the actor was never approached to play lead, Dishank informed, “Actually I had been offered lead roles in recently concluded shows such as Tum Dena Saath Mera on Life OK and Dekha Ek Khwaab on Sony. Somehow, things did not work out then.”

Hope you get the lead role soon.

Poonam Pandey's new antic on Twitter; goes commando this time! Says no pants are the best pants

1 hour ago

Well folks, from what we see, it appears that Sherlyn Chopra’s Playboy act has given Poonam Pandey sleepless nights! That could be the reason that the 20 something “new generation” girl has been posting erotic pictures of hers and making bizarre confessions online!

Lately we have seen her flaunting her cleavage in a series of pictures on Twitter, and now she has chosen to put some pictures of hers sans her underwear.

The girl wrote, “No pants are the best pants,” and added, “I complain about my house being so fuc***g cold yet I’m walking around with no pants on... Oh, alright (sic).” And the attention seeker didn’t stop there as she also went on to write, “Whenever I lie around naked and fondle my breasts, I realize I’m not a porn star and I’m not getting paid so I never do that, idiots(sic).”

Looks like someone needs to make her realize that cheap acts are earning her nothing but spoiling her already spoilt name! Girls like her are so insane and they defame the whole female community. Looks like she just can’t do without all these antic acts of hers!

Wonder what her competitors Rozlyn and Sherlyn have to say to this

Katrina Kaif insists she is very much single! Denies any link up with Ranbir

To be or not to be, forever or one night stand, hush- hush affair or just friends; these were what playing in all minds when eagle eyed shutterbugs caught Katrina Kaif red handed entering Ranbir Kapoor’s home around 1 am at night and which was obvious to hit headlines.

But so much single Kats has to say something about it. Katrina Kaif, who always has named it just friends with vintage juvenile philanderer of B-town Ranbir Kapoor, says that in spite of visiting Ranbir’s pad such a late night, she is still very much single.

Katrina has always been the talk of the table, earlier it was due to her alleged link up with Salman Khan and afterwards due to their relationship which went kaput in the air. And now it seems like unstoppable with Kat’s associations with such affair rumors and the recent one popping up with heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor.

However, Kat is not ready to accept any of the facts stated and insists that she is very much single and is not dating anyone.

We know everything happens for the best but definitely has a reason behind it. All friendships of b-town have turned out to be deeply clad love mash-up and mishaps. So is this the new ‘very much single’ of B-town?

With Pooja Bhatt directed Jism 2 getting up for its release, Bollywood is coming across things which are way far hotter and bolder from every aspect.

Porn star Sunny Leone, equilibrated on the verge of celluloid glory with her debut film Jism 2, is sending the heat guide soaring with every glimpse of the film. And the latest attention seeker is the new song called Hey Walla.

In the song, one gets to see Sunny getting intimate with both her heroes, Arunoday Singh and Randeep Hooda.

Sunny Leone goes against sex for PETA

Sunny Leone goes against sex for PETA
This time around porn star Sunny Leone has come up a new way of catching your attention and we are sure that this will indeed sweep your feet off.

As per sources, Sunny has shot for a brand-new ad for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India wherein she stands seductively winking her eye next to the caption ‘Too Much Sex Can Be a Bad Thing. Sterilize Your Dogs and Cats'.

It is notable that Sunny, who was named 2003 Penthouse Pet of the Year, wants her legions of adoring fans to know that the only way to fight the worldwide homeless-cat and-dog crisis is always to have companion animals sterilized. The ad was shot by leading photographer Gaurav Sawn, and Leone's hair and make-up were done by Ayesha Wadiwala.

Talking of the ad she said, ''I believe in not buying - and adopting. And it's because there's so many dogs out there that need a home, that were left on the streets. They just need that love, and if you can rescue an animal, then that's one of the greatest gifts you can give.'' She further stated, ''I believe that every single dog should be spayed and neutered. You don't want to continue the cycle of homeless dogs or cats. And spaying and neutering also keeps them healthy. It prevents them from having different diseases that they can get if they are not.''

Well, this style of yours is quite appreciable Sunny!

Valuing time is utmost important, says Sanaya Irani

Valuing time is utmost important, says Sanaya Irani
Tantrums, show offs and mood swings while shooting stand to be some of the common traits find in stars, be it from Bollywood or the world of television. Stars are never their self minus their starry affair.

Amongst all of the annoying habits they tend to develop with their increasing stardom, dropping down on the sets way too late is the most irksome. Apparently, with them coming late on sets, it not only kills the time of other people linked with the project but even hampers the venture.

However, television actress Sanaya Irani, whom you all love and adore as the very chirpy and fun loving Khushi alongside Barun Sobti aka Arnav from Star Plus’ Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, stands to be an exception. The pretty lady values time a lot and says that it is utmost important for all to respect time and abide by it. Sanaya holds a view that while being in a professional world one has to make sure to respect others’ work too. She believes that by reaching the sets on time, she tries to do her bit in helping things run in a smooth and organized manner.

Sanaya further states that along with herself abiding by time, she makes it a point to value the time of others too! This is the reason she never lets her crew members face any sort of inconvenience with time and makes it a point to reach the shooting place without any delay.

Now, that’s really very thoughtful of you Sanaya and we hope people take a lesson from your considerate act!

guwahati molestation shame for whole country

Arnab Goswami on Times Now said his channel was against showing the Guwahati molestation video. I feel the video is available online for anybody who wants to see it – and a huge majority who has watched the video has reacted with horror and outrage. This is not the first time a rape/molestation video has been made and shared in India, in fact one reads about such videos and MMS clips being used to blackmail and humiliate the victims. [link]
I wonder what C C Patil (the Karnataka Women and Child Welfare Minister) felt when he and a few other ministers watched one such rape video during the assembly. [link] (Savadi  allegedly claimed, he ‘was watching the video clip of how a woman was raped by four people to know about the incident and prepare for a discussion on the ill-effects of a rave party.’)
Did these ministers feel the outrage that the rest of the country is feeling today?

In the Gurgaon video [link], I couldn’t get the image of the victim out of my mind, she kept  running and screaming hysterically even after the molesters had been chased away and she was safe. In the Guwahati video [link] there is hatred and smirk, not lust on the faces of the molesters.
(The nation was outraged by a similar smile on the face of S P S Rathore who molested Ruchika Girhotra.)
All these are the smiles of men who knew they were not going to be punished.
The video made it clear that these sexual assaults were about hate, power and aggression. The rapists’/molesters’ intent was not to ‘satisfy their lust’ but to humiliate and to cause hurt.

Aarti Puri aka Trishna of Madhubala is much similar to her character in real life
Sometimes actors have two different lives to live, one is their character and another is the real personality. But some are lucky to have to play similar character as they are, and Aarti Puri is one of the lucky ones who is living her dream through her role Trishna in Colors’ Madhubala…Ek Ishq Ek Junoon.

Aarti in real life is working towards her dream of becoming a Bollywood actor. In fact, the actress was initially apprehensive about taking up TV, but decided to accept it as a stepping stone to achieve her ultimate goal. She says, “I like my character as it is not a negative one and her actions are completely justified”.

On her debut experience on the small screen, Aarti states, “This is my first TV show as before this I was doing regional cinema which included Telugu, Tamil and Punjabi films. I bagged this role when I was doing a regional film”.

Elaborating on her experience of working in television, Aarti says, “Everything is new as TV works very differently from films. There are a lot of do’s and don’ts to remember.”

As she has a dream to become a star in bollywood, about her plan she said, “Yes, I am looking forward to it and I think TV is a big medium to gain recognition. Hence I am sure this will help me show my talent at a bigger level.”

Hope you get to fulfill your dreams soon
