Mr. Maverick, Anuj Saxena was in for a pleasant surprise on Valentine's Day, given by a crazy fan who hailed from saat samundar paar - Los Angeles.

The fan in question goes by the name Sheela Thakerar (in her late 50's) who travelled all the way to India to personally greet Anuj on the special day on 14th February. Here's what Sheela has to say about her charming man: "I can't pinpoint on just one reason to adore Anuj. He is handsome, successful and yet polite. I watch all his serials and also record them. In fact, I still watch Kkusum daily," she says with excitement. What's interesting is that Sheela has also landed in India before on Anuj's wedding.

Apparently, this time around it wasn't a planned trip at all. "Yes, it was impromptu. I just felt like meeting him and decided to come here," she says. Sheela gifted him flowers, a jumbo card and floating candles. "I want to give to gift him in person and took the opportunity to chat with him my heart's fill. Of course, I am not going to tell you what I spoke with him," she grins.

But unfortunately Sheela had to share this precious time of hers withan with an Indian fan of Anuj, Mala Shetty. The latter too wanted to greet Saxena personally on Valentine's. Mala says, "I like to interact with Anuj and also share with him my feedback on his shows. It will help him grow,"

So Anuj's quite a hit with the older bracket huh! So can we take the liberty of labeling him as the 'aunty's boy'!

Aashka Goradia, who is currently seen in Kinnari Mehta's Sindoor Tere Naam Ka has been avowing her 'good friendship' with actor Shama Sikander (of Yeh Meri Life Hain fame). But another actor on the grounds of anonymity let it out that Shama dislikes being called Aashka's friend. In fact she doesn't even acknowledge her as her friend! Industry people who know both these actors can vouch for the fact that both are different as chalk and cheese - Goradia is soft and moody while Shama is vocal and ambitious.

If goes down memory lane, it is known that Aashka is tagged with a not-so friendly reputation, be it her friction with Rucha Gujarati for copying her hairstyle during the KKusum days and even Nausheen Ali Sardar with whom she is till not on talking terms.

Is it paucity of good friends near her that Aashka has to resort to jabadarsti claiming others to be her pals?

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.

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.
