Pawan Shankar who made a mark for himself with the character of charismatic lawyer, Siddhanth on Star One, is back with another show on the same channel -- albeit for a single story. The actor will be seen in Darna Mana Hai, and accompanying him will be Shama Sikander. Sources tell us that Pawan's character in this show ill be different from Siddhanth and the twist is that viewers wil not know if his character is negative or positive till the final episode.

In something that cannot be short of any coincidence, both Pawan and Shama's shows have come to an end..so this is a nice stop gap experience that both these artists must be looking forward to! The story starring the duo will be on air on 16 January onwards.

Hussain seems to have stuck to his work schedule despite being married...for...well, a week! He was shooting for Kumkum on the day he was to get married...and he was working continuously throughout. The couple is planning to leave for Switzerland for their honeymoon sometime next month. We caught Hussain at Rock Bottom, here in suburban Mumbai on Wednesday, compering Sahara One's Indian Diva 2005 show.

We also noticed that Hussain looked a little lost amidst all the divas present...well, that's good news for Tina!

Balaji gang (read the Kyunki…team) is all set to chill out in Goa to ring in the new year. The list includes Ekta Kapoor, Ritu Chaudhary, Amit Sareen with brother in tow,
Shilpa and Apoorva Agnihotri with each getting their own friends too. While they all plan to go in separate groups separately and finally club in together in Goa. On the other hand, Tassnim Sheikh is all set to hit Goa with her fiancé and her old friends from India and abroad for a good five days.
"We are all managing our own stays in Goa, so we are all going individually with our friends and putting up at different places and later we will get in touch with everyone," chirps Tassnim who is extremely excited about the trip.
So it's destination Goa for most of our Balaji stars…

Another actor joins the holiday bandwagon. Cezanne Khan is taking leave from the Kasautii Zindagi Kay shoot from Monday evening and is taking off to Hong Kong and Bangkok for the New Year festivities.
But hold on. He isn't going alone. If our sources are to be believed, Cezanne is taking his family along for the trip. That's not all. The current love of his life, Shubha Verma is also joining the little group of holidayers, we hear.

Does this mean the start of a serious relationship for the Casanova? Only Cezanne can answer this one.

Actors have a hectic shoot schedules especially if they are working in a daily soap. But Anuj Saxena besides being an actor is also a businessman and has a production house Maverick. So for such a person vacation is normally out of question. But this time Anuj has gone to Bangkok with his parents for a vacation. If you happen to spot Juhi Parmar or Narayani Shastri at the international airport you may guess where they are heading for. What say Anuj?

There was an overdose of Supriya this week! First, she stole our hearts with her performances in Star One's Nach Baliye and then just as we thought that we have seen the last of her for the week, she came as a pleasant surprise on the big screen in two of the recentky released flicks -- Deewane Hue Pagal and Bluffmaster!,

She has played a prominent role in Deewane Hue Pagal which stars Akshay Kumar, Shahid Kapoor and Riimi Sen. Her character in the film is called Sweetu aunty with whom Riimi Sen lives with in Dubai. Coincidenty Delnaz Paul played Sweetu in Kal ho na ho. Supriya played Riimi's unmarried aunty sporting spectacles, saree and lipstick throughout the film. Her look is quite different from what she looks in Naach Baliye. She probably wore a wig in the film (people may not know her husband Sachin wears a wig in real life).
In Bluffmaster, the actress plays the gullible Mrs Malhotra who falls prey to conman, Abhishek's charms. It's the smallest cameo possible, and if not for her Nach Baliye fame, we are sure she would not have been noticed at all!
