Kasauti Zindagi Kay

Kasauti Zindagi Kay seems to have settled down after a leap with Hiten Tejwani as the new Anurag Basu. But we think Moon who cut short her full name Moonmoon few moons ago has been warned to watch her weight as she is ballooning beyond the characters requirement. Moon has been the butt of jokes cracked by the new generation on the set. They call her Moon Dadi. The production boys have nicknamed her "Moon Aunti" on the sets.

HThe buzz goes that apni Shweta Tiwari aka Prerna Bajaj of Kasauti Zindagi kay has got into a habit of always reporting late on the sets. A colleague on condition of anonymity says, " the day I have to shoot with Shweta, I purposely come in late. There's no point reporting early and I've to sit twiddling my thumb there."

No, no, it has nothing to do with his would-be wifey Kishwer Merchant but it is his one-episodic character in the thriller Akela we are talking about. It appears as if Hiten Paintal is not satisfied with playing Anupam, a scrounger of a husband to Nivedita in Kasauti Zindagi Kay that he has gone ahead and shot for an episodic with Akela on Sony where he essays the role of a pushed-around husband Suyash who exchanges his domineering wife's soul with someone.

Zee's flagship show since aeons, Antakshari has witnessed numerous female anchors being replaced and now its turn of the man himself. The inimitable maverick host and Antakshari maestro, Annu Kapoor will bid adieu to the new season of this longest running musical show. The air is filled with the buzz that Bollywood mainstream singer Babul Supriyo (whose claim to fame are Hum Tum and Kaho Na Pyar Hai prominently) has been approached to replace Annu Kapoor.

Poonam Narula took a break from acting post her maternity leave. She made a mark on the tube with substantial roles in Kasauti Zindagi Kay and Kkusum. And in Nach Baliye (the turning point in her career) she, along with her hubby Mannish Goyal, danced into the hearts of the viewers. Though Manish has been spotted at many socials off late, Poonam somehow prefers to maintain a low profile.

Urvashi Dholakia was till now the common factor between Cezanne Khan and Anuj Saxena as she's working in both Kasauti Zindagi Kay and Rishton Ki Dor, where they both play leads respectively. And now it's the turn of bong beauty Moonmoon. She currently plays Anurag's (Cezzane) wife in Kasauti…..and has recently been roped in for Rishton ….to play an investigating officer, Neha, who happens to be Suhaas' (Anuj) blast from the past. She enters the track to solve a murder mystery.

The credit for the success of Kasauti Zindagi Kay definitely goes to its lead protagonist Shweta Tiwari aka Prerna. Not just Ekta Kapoor, but even viewers glued to the serial for four long years vouch for her on-screen histrionics and acting abilities.

Now, everybody knows that Cezanne Khan aka apna Anurag Basu is looking out for work outside the Balaji camp. But a little birdie told us an incident (actually one of the actors' from Kasauti Zindagi Kay) way back when Twinkle Beauty Parlour had just started. Cezanne was heard requesting someone on the phone to try and get him work with Rose Audiovisuals.

Looks like it's patch up time in tellyland. After Anuj Saxena and Mannish Goyal's much publicised patch up with the later coming for the former's private birthday bash, there has also been another low profile patch up. It seems Raymon Kakar (who played Nikita Chachi in Kkusum) and Mannish Goyal have also revived their old friendship.

Looks like Cezanne Khan, popularly known as Anurag of Kasauti Zindagi Kay, is off media. It seems that he's very skeptical of talking to journalists for fear of being dragged into controversies. To add to this, he assumes that it's Shweta Tiwari (Prerna of Kasauti..) who is spreading rumours about him. A little birdie told us that when a reputed journo contacted him for an interview, Cezanne had his guard on, "Mere ko koi interview nahi dena hai", he said and hung up.
