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 Rajshree'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!

Chetan mops it up!

What do our telly stars do between jobs? Cut ribbons at inaugurations, shake a leg at events? Some even model for stylists, we discovered, while browsing through Blackberry's 2002 catalogue while at a salon recently.

The man in question is Chetan Hansraj, sporting sideburns, a Mohawk cut, braids and more....staring back at us from the catalogue for men's hair styles. Must say, the hunk looks impressive in each style he sported. But that was 2002, long before Sasha was born, and since then, Chetan's stuck to the simple and straight style...Ekta at work? With that impressive height and those smouldering brown eyes, Chetan probably doesn't need any style accessories.

Is Ekta watching too much of Desperate Housewives?

Now don't get us wrong. Everyone, and that means 90 per cent of the TV industry in India, is inspired these days by the firang soaps .
But we thought a slick and smart production house like Balaji Telefilms with its horde of talented writers would not resort to picking ideas from say, a Desperate Housewives. Thursday's episode of Kyaa Hoga Nimmo Kaa left us with a distinct sense of deja vu.

Kunal (Eijaz Khan) who just entered the plot, has a dog Oscar, who gets after Nimmo, and while licking her face, accidentally swallows her earring. The dog chokes on the trinket, Kunal rushes him to the hospital, but is seething about the person who made his precious dog suffer.

Now, for those who caught Desperate Housewives' first season, will recall a similar incident occurred with Susan (a very Nimmo like fallible character, again) while she's at beau Mike's place, in the presence of Edie. Mike's liking for Susan turns into temporary dislike, something we suspect the Nimmo... track will make Kunal do too.

What next? A murder and a cover-up job? We wouldn't be too surprised.
