Sujata's a bauble buff!

Jewelry could well be Sujata Mehta's middle name. It's almost her signature tune, that she plays at any event she graces! The lady, best remembered for her performance in Doordarshan's Shrikant two decades ago, flaunts a wide variety of baubles at every do, and with style. At the recent launch party of Balaji Telefilms' Kyaa Hoga Nimmo Kaa, where she plays the mother's character, Sujata was turned out in a becoming white ensemble, embellished with loads of silver jewelry, rings being her speciality.

"I love to wear jewelry. I get it done from Saurashtra and have been doing so for many years now. I have these certain bangles which I have got made in different colours to match my clothes. In fact, when I go abroad, the first thing I do is get myself some exotic jewelry pieces," says the stylish Sujata, who is genuinely fond of dressing up and looking good.
To think that the lady plays a fashion designer in Nimmo who wants to be a Page 3 socialite, we'd say she's landed herself the right job!

Remembering Kuljeet

Kuljeet Randhawa's presence it would appear, continues to permeate the small screen more than a month after her alleged suicide,...and as was the case before her untimely death, she's a pleasure to watch on screen.

The lady must have completed a few modeling assignments after Sahara One's Kohinoor wound up last year, but these are seeing the light of day only now. Just saw the Kohinoor and Special Squad star in an advertisement for power switches, released recently on the tube. The lady looked relaxed and completely at ease as she sat on a sofa surrounded by her 'family'! In something that's an irony of sorts, the lady signs off in the ad saying, "Finally I have my peace of mind!"

Kasautii problems Kay!

Everyone knows what Shweta Tiwari thinks of Cezanne Khan and vice versa. A little birdie from the sets of Kasautii Zindagi Kay tells us that Cezanne Khan has thrown been tantrums that he will give only fifteen days to Balaji for the show. He is said to have taken this step as the focus has shifted to the younger generation and Manoj Bohra in particular. Apparently he might be looking for other assignments soon.
While Shweta Tiwari has conveyed to the production house that she is planning a vacation in America in the month of June.
Now if this is true, how do they build a bank of episodes when Cezanne is not willing to give more time or dates to the show, which also seems to be his only claim to fame.. Considering both the actors are stubborn about their decisions we will have to wait and watch if Ekta Kapoor comes up with a solution considering Kasautii... continues to be one of her favourite projects which seems to be enjoying decent TRP ratings too.

If Aamir Ali had been Abhay Kapoor....

Aamir Ali's only claim to TV fame has been Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii.

But there was a time once when he was Nausheen Alii Sardar's boyfriend, a time when both were into modelling. When Nausheen bagged the title role in Kkusum, she wanted him to play Abhay Kapoor. But then, we have it on authority that Ekta was clear about having Anuj Saxena for the role of Abhay. That spelt the end of Nausheen's dreams of having Aamir as her on screen hero.
After Kkusum became a huge hit, Nausheen and Aamir broke off and Vikas Kalantri came into the picture, when Nausheen shot with him and Anuj Saxena for a music video, and she played Vikas's Bhabhi. The reason why Nausheen and Aamir Ali broke off is not known. If Aamir Ali was selected to play Abhay Kapoor then he would have been in a different league in the television industry. Everyone knows that one role of Abhay Kapoor has taken Anuj Saxena places. Not many however know that Kkusum is one show where most stars today worked once upon a time. The list includes Hiten Tejwani, Tassnim Sheikh, Moonmoon, Manish Goel, Narayani Shastri, Aashish Kaul, Shweta Kawaatra, Manav Gohil...phew! Aamir's really missed the chance of being part of the Kkusum brigade!

Aamne Saamne

It could have been an event straight out of a scriptwriter's notes, except it happened. Really.
Sunday saw St Andrews Auditorium in Bandra hosting an event by Peek A Boo, a concert titled Dance of the World, presented by deaf and mute children. Interestingly, the guest list, unknown to the guests themselves, included Anuj Saxena as well as Manish and Poonam Goel. The hosts may not have realised their irony of the invites, as Anuj and Manish have been unable to see eye to eye for over one year now.

Interestingly, Anuj's invite originated from his business interests (the actor's family holds majority interest in Elder Pharma), while Manish and Poonam came along with their son Aryaveer as celeb guests.

Both occupied extreme ends of the same row and obviously enjoyed the entire show, but kept discreetly away from each other. The one time friends seemed in no hurry to patch up their differences. Did they even know they would be bumping into each other this way?

You couldn't have told, judging by their countenances. But then, haven't they all been in showbiz long enough to mask what they really feel.
