It's out by now that post maternity, Bollywood siren Raveena Tandon has been roped in by Sony to anchor a chat based show. But very few know that she was not the original choice.

It was Raveena's one time contemporary actor Juhi Chawla who was initially approached by the channel. The former beauty queen took her own sweet time to give a green signal as she was flooded with movie offers post her recent act in Salaam-E-Ishq.

So, it can be the wait or some contractual disagreements which caused the shift in gears and this Sony project fell in the lap of Raveena (it spells good news either ways for the telly junta!) If Kajol can recreate the same hysteria after a baby in Fanaa, so can our mast-mast girl!

The Zee serial Sindoor Tere Naam Ka’s director Debashish got injured recently while shooting for one of the sequences. Back after celebrating the New Years Eve, the unit was busy as usual with the shoot when Sachin Sharma got too involved in the shot that he hit the camera with his hand. The poor camera not only fell down but fell on the director’s hand and the shoot had to be stopped for some time. Well, Sachin too much of involvement is injurious to directors health. Isn’t it?

Suresh Menon is just back from his yearend holiday - "I had been to Singapore with my family and a large group of our family friends. We were there for a week and had a whale of a time, mainly because of our kids" enthuses the chilled-out actor.

The best time he had was at Sentosa Islands and at the zoo, which his four-year-old son Shiv who went ga-ga over the pranks of the animals but Suresh discovered that he himself was a spectacle to the other visitors. While the comedian was happily clicking away the animals in the zoo, he suddenly noticed some visitors capturing him in their cameras. He laughs as he says, "I was shooting the animals in the cage and I felt like one outside the cage as they were shooting me." But his astonishment gave way to glee when he realized that they were his fans who had watched him as Ratan Reimburse and other characters in The Comedy Show Ha..Ha..Ha and just wanted to have his pictures for posterity.

Meanwhile, after enjoying his holiday, he is burdened with a tension - his son's school admission. So now, he's busy filling up forms for the best schools in suburban Mumbai.
