Okay, so Jassi and Armaan have finally tied the knot in far away Malaysia. That puts the other suitors safely out of the frame, and hopefully resolves the myriad issues that plagued India's first television plain Jane.
Now we hear that Sony has decided that enough is enough, and that Jassi...will wind up. On 16 February, to be precise. Sony is loath to confirm the channel driver's demise just yet, but we have it on authority that another show, perhaps a reality show like Paisa Bhari Ho Gaya, will take its place.
Is that Mona Singh heaving a sigh of relief? Or is that the audience?

2006 seems to have got its first taste of channel wars! The Orange County, America’s favourite teen drama launched on 30 December, 2005 at 9:30 pm on Zee Cafe and the same is all set to debut again on Star World on 3 January at 9 pm!
And this is not all! While Zee Cafe will air the show twice a week -- Friday and Sunday, with Sunday airing back to back episodes (8:30 repeat of the earlier episode and a fresh episode at 9:30 pm), Star World seems to have lost this battle with OC being a weekly. So, by the end of every week, Zee Cafe viewers will be automatically one episode richer!

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 will 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?
