Mahabharata on the sets of Zaara!

Abhay Vakil is taking lessons in between shots while shooting for Zaara. The actor has been so fond of Mahabharata as a kid that he decided to get a DVD of the series and watch it in his free time.
In between the shots whenever possible, Abhay makes it a point to watch the one hour episodes in his DVD player. Not just this, but the actor has also got his colleagues and technicians to get to watch the mythological series as well.
"I get to learn so much from BR Chopra's shows. I wish I get a chance to work with his production house. The perfection with which he would work in those times is just amazing to watch. Samikhsha and I are hooked on to the series whenever we have the time," smiles Abhay who was last seen in Palkhi and refuses to take any other show for now.
Here's hoping more actors get to devote their precious time in educating themselves.

 
 
 
 
What's cooking between them?

We have often heard of on-screen chemistry turning into a reality but seeing is believing as in is this case where Kaajal and her Dev Sir of Sony's Kaajal seem to be really attracted to each other. Yes, we are talking about none other than Apoorva Agnihotri and Surveen Chawla.

A perching birdie has tipped us that Surveen, who generally doesn't mingle with her cast members, gets along only with her lead co-star Apoorva. And Agnihotri too, who is known to keep to himself and is also a man of few words, is quite loquacious with the perky lady.

Co-stars vouch for the excellent chemistry the lead pair share and also confirm that even if they are shooting in two different units, Surveen waits for Apoorva to have lunch together after which they enjoy a long and relaxed time puffing away while the rest of the cast waits patiently for the shoot to resume.

We wonder if Apoorva's better half, the beautiful Shilpa Saklani, who is so much in love with her Sonu (her hubby's nickname), has any idea of what is happening in-between the shots on the sets! After all, when you spend long hours with each other, attraction is inevitable between two good-looking people.

 
 

 

Aamna-Rajeev to be together this valentine!

Are Rajeev Khandelwal and Aamna Shariff a couple? The more they deny their affair as friendship, the fans get more curious about their status. A little birdie told us that on Valentine's day, the hot couple will be talking to their fans together on Star News; in the afternoon show Saas Bahu aur Saazish.

The show has specially organized this for their die hard fans. And this is not the first time that they're being seen together as a couple on this show. Now, we wonder when both continue to deny their love for each other, why would they decide to make an appearance on this special lovers day. Looks like the couple wants to continue to cash on their popularity as Sujal and Kashish. Co-incidently, the super duper hit show, Kahiin Toh Hoga is going off air on 19th and perhaps this would be their last effort to re-inforce their fan following.

Meanwhile, we wish the hot couple a happy valentine's day!

 
 
 
Is Daljit being stalked?

Punjabi kudi, Daljit Kaur who plays the lead in Sony's Kulvaddhu is being pursued by a mystery man of late. He sends her a bouquet with an initial 'S' tagged to it!

"I received the corsage of red roses when we were at Jodhpur for the press conference of my show. And now, once again I have received a bouquet of multi-coloured roses with a message 'Have a pleasant journey', which really shocked me as I was actually leaving for Nasik for one of my friend's wedding, "says a highly baffled Daljit.

Everyone's clueless about this mysterious identity as she adds, "I am unable to comprehend if someone's playing a prank and what's the reason behind this deed!"

Well Daljit, to help you a bit, the name of some of your co-stars begins with 'S' - Suhasini Mulay, Surbhi Tiwari and even Shaleen Bhanot. In fact even your producer Anuj Saxena's surname starts with S. Hey but these are only wild guesses! If you trace the stalker do let us know first!
