Manoj's reason to party!

The Velocity discotheque was the place to be last Friday for all page3 perennials in Mumbai! The reason this time was Puma's new sports collection launch. The night witnessed various socialites and bigwigs of film industry like Rashmi Uday Singh, Tara Sharma, Mukul Deora, Kishen Mulchandani, and Shehnaz Treasurewala. Among these, was dotted Manoj Bohra with girlfriend Teejay Sidhu. Teejay was one of the early birds to be tracked at the party with some friends, and later Manoj walked in, making it a point to stick around with his girl. They even made a quiet move to the VIP lounge to have a few close moments together!

What's in a name?

Guess who's Kunwar Rituraj Singh Chandrawat Sisodia????

It's the complete, unaltered name of K. Street Pali Hill and Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii's Rituraj Singh. The actor's a Jaipurite like 'Sujal' Rajeev Khandelwal and is currently in Jaipur on a personal visit.

"My parents are settled in Jaipur and I keep visiting Pink City every now and then," says Rituraj.

He further adds, "My original full name is Kunwar Rituraj Singh Chandrawat Sisodia and I am a Rajput which the industry people don't know. I use only use Rituraj Singh to keep things simple."

Jaipur seems to be giving a lot of talent to television industry. The other prominents names being Rajeev Khandelwal, Smita Bansal, Murli Sharma, Irrfan Khan and of course sabki favourite bahu Juhi 'Kumkum' Parmar.

Who's Twinkle?

Rose Audiovisuals' new show Twinkle Beauty Parlour has quite an interesting starcast! But what really drew our attention is the name of the parlour -- Twinkle! There's no one in the show who goes by that name!

The owner of the parlour is Ranjana, played by Narayani Shastri who's from Delhi...not Twinkle...as the title of the show seems to suggest!

We hazarded a guess -- is it a take on North Indian sensibilities??? (read Delhi), we wonder.

Anyways, when contacted, producer Shrishti Arya's voice took on a mischivious note and she asked us to wait and watch!

We will!

"When we fight, I have to make up with him! "- Sussanne Roshan

Here's a snippet of the interview with the Roshan's from Rendezvouz with Simi Garewal that we found was quite interesting.

Hrithik confesses that he doesn't leave home without a hug from Sussanne and if there is someone in the room, they go to another room for that little hug before he leaves for work. He laughs and adds, "If she's upset with me and I've gone for work, it's not possible for me to give a shot. I just can't! She knows that and she'll wait. She'll speak to James, my make-up man and she'll wait until she will find out when the shot's being taken and just at the last moment she'll call me up and make me feel better". When asked who makes up most of the time… Sussanne says, "He's very stubborn, when we fight, I have to make up with him but these days he says sorry.. very sweetly.

Now that's what we call a happy couple!

Rupali in Woh Rehne Wali Mehlon Ki

The dimwit bahu of Sarabhai vs Sarabhai will soon be seen on Sahara One's Woh Rehne Wali Mehlon Ki as Aarti's (Rani's sister-in-law's) brother's wife."I am doing this show because it is a Rajshree show and we have been family friends for ages besides it is a Kaushik Ghatak show who has been my director in Sanjeevani. I get to meet and shoot with my Sanjeevani gang and it requires less commitment also Rajshri's are the most precious and my favourite production house," chirps Rupali who will begin shooting from tomorrow and will be a part of the show for four episodes.

Sanjeeda is Vanilla down South!

Well, the pretty young lead of Star One's, Kya Hoga...has a very...uh... interesting (used strictly for a lack of another adjective!) nickname down South -- vanilla! And no, the lady's not fond of vanilla ice cream!

We asked the actor to explain the logic behind her nickname and the lady just laughed it away!

"Vanilla means moonlight. They probably call me Vanilla because they could see the moonlight in me," laughs Sanjeeda.

Uh!
