We had told you about Jas Arora replacing Anuj Saxena in Aruna Irani's Doli Saja Ke for Sahara One. But now it seems, even he has walked out of show after shooting for a few episodes. A little birdie told us Jas was made to wait for seven hours for a particular shooting sequence and then he was asked to wear glasses for a slightly mature look.

For those uninitiated, the good looking hunk plays father to Barkha Bisht in the show and the role (a cameo of sorts - almost 20 episodes) was earlier slated to be enacted by Anuj Saxena but he recently quit it on grounds of inordinate delays.

Though the production team tried to convince the actor he categorically refused to wear glasses. The grapevine goes that Jas was also unhappy with the production house's way of functioning and just left the sets in a huff and refused to shoot.

The show is going on air on 30th of this month and promos currently on-air look quite promising. But now the moot point is who will replace Jas?

Keep watching this space for more and we'll keep you posted on the next best replacement for the role

Is the Ekta-Smriti war for real ? The news of Tulsi maiya being replaced by Gautami Gadgil in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi ,the mother of all soaps has left us a wee bit confused. Now, wots the real story behind this?

Our khabru reveals that there have been some undercurrents between the guru shishya since the time the latter turned producer. When Smriti was hell bent on having her way, Ekta went ahead and supported her as a co-producer with Thodi Si Zameen Thoda Sa Aasmaan.

Later when Smirti was ready to roll out Viruddh, Ekta backed out of Thodi…
Smriti who's now playing the lead in more than three serials is unable to give Kyunki the required time and in fact the creative team has been having a difficult time carrying on the shoots. Obviously, the Balaji head honcho is miffed at this. Or is she also miffed at the fact that Virrddh has actually been able to create quite a buzz in the market?

Though we can't really imagine Kyunki without Tulsi, but then remember Ronit replaced Amar Upadhaya as Mihir and actually became more popular over a period of time. Afterall, the small screen is about characters and not about actors. Will the creative team be able to pull off another actor as Tulsi who's so integral to the soap? Or will it be the end of Kyunki; afterall all good things in life come to an end remember.

Maninee De Mishra has been on a filmy ride for a while now. After playing best pal to Priyanka Chopra in Rakesh Roshan's super hit Krisshh this bubbly actor will now star in Ken Ghosh's Chain Kuli Ki Main Kuli.

Also featuring in this kid's flick are Rahul Bose and 13-year old child artiste Zain Khan. Bose is essaying the role of a cricket captain in this funny, warm and sentimental film. The direction department will be handled by Tamara Nidungadi for Sargam Films.

Unlike the rest of the popular cast, Zain is a new face in the film industry. To familiarise you with him, he has modelled for ads like Boost with Sachin Tendulkar and for Asian Motor Cross Champion.

Chain Kuli…has an array of emotional twists and preaches a moral in the end. As Ghosh puts it, "the film and is about believing in yourself to succeed."

The chirpy actor has been successful in delighting her young fans with her amusing antics in Krisshh. And this time around we're sure she will deliver the goods.

In the entertainment world, often times one finds mother-daughter or father-son pairs in the same profession. They may not work together but definitely share the same platform. Here we've found a mother-daughter duo who've quite some name to claim fame.

Do you remember Rima Sen's mother in Paraneeta or Dia's in Lage Raho Munnabhai or Kunal Kapoor's in the latest Hatrick? She's tellywood's Supriya Shukla aka Karuna in Sony's mega show Jeete Hai Jiske Liye.

Now do you remember a little robo-girl in Sony's time for kids 'Karishma Ka Karishma (the Indian version of the hilarious English children series Small wonder)? Or better still Priety Zinta's youngest sister in Kal Ho Na Ho? Yes, the lucky Jia who was proposed marriage by Shahrukh Khan.

Well, we discovered for you this celebrity mother daughter duo- Supriya Shukla and Jhanak. Supriya asserts, "Its funny how at the tender age of eleven she has already reached the heights." There's not much space to soar higher, is there now? "Not really, I also think that as she has done commercials, T.V series and now a movie with top director Karan Johar. With so much in her kitty most of her aspirations are fulfilled."

Now that's what we call being blessed! Some just have it all, don't they?

Chaitanya Chaudhary aka Uday of the now-redundant Balaji serial Kuch Apne Kuch Paraye is all geared up to celebrate his b'day today.

"Normally I throw a party but this year I am busy shooting for Sangam. I will definitely go out for dinner with friends - basically hang out at our favourite joint and have a blast," laughs Chaitanya.

In his college days, his father had gifted him a bike and that is his most cherished gift till date. As for the most memorable party, a surprising birthday party was organized by his sister two years back.

One a rather nostalgic note he recalls, "A friend of mine flew down from Delhi. I went to pick him up and he started behaving strangely. First he asked me to come with him to some places and I just kept following him." Finally the friend told Chaitanya to take him home and when they reached home, the actor found all his friends waiting to give him a surprise. "My sister had planned it with my friend in such a way to keep me out of the house and arranged this party.

We had a blast,"says Chaitanya.

Here's wishing the actor a very happy birthday!

More in news for his personal life, for a change Gaurav Chopraa is making it to the scribes for professional reasons.

There had been a lull in his career graph post his act in Desh Main Nikla Hua Chand and 'dum'daar moves in Nach Baliye 2. But now the scale is gradually moving high with the stubbled actor bagging a few promising assignments.

He has been zeroed in for the second innings of SAB's Left Right Left, though he maintained a stoic silence when asked to divulge details about the same. Our khabru who works overtime pegged us that he's also doing a new show, for which his 'no comments' stand was flagged. Along with these projects Gaurav will also be featuring in a music video for The Meet Brothers along with his lady love Narayani Shastri.

Gaurav it's high time that you cease the chuppi and flaunt your work portfolio just as you do when it comes to your social life.

Saas Bahu and Saazish, Star News' daily tv infotainment show is in for a rehaul ! Of late, the rumour mills have been buzzing that Riston Ki Dor's lead girl, Sampada Vaze has been approached to anchor the show.

Currently, the show is being anchored by in-house news readers - Aditi Sawant and Sandeep Pandya.

With similar shows being launched on rival news channels, Star News now wants to add a bit of glam quotient to the show.

A source revealed that talks are indeed on with Sampada but currently money issues have put the agreement on hold. Sampada is not happy with what she is being offered and is demanding more. She has supposedly given Star an ultimatum that either come to my terms or call it off. In fact, Saas Bahu was supposed to start shooting with the new anchor tomorrow, but somehow things haven't been fixed.

Now with so many `out of work' actors around, we think Sampada should really lap up this very lucrative offer.

The effervescent and spontaneous Juhi 'Kumkum' Parmar has been making it to the scribes quite often these days. Be it her get-up in Star One's Antakshari or her recent painful eye injury, the lady has been quite carked. And to add to the list of her worries is trouble at paradise (read home).

Grapevine insists that Parmar had fired her housemaid for some reason best known to her. But the carefree actor did not know what she was getting into. She was in for a rude shock when the maid's boyfriend threatened her with dire consequences! Goondaraaj in the name of love kya?

Don't know if Juhi had to eat humble pie and keep back the retrenched bai or did she dare to lodge a police complaint?
