Aditi's weighty issues!

Aditi Shirwaikar currently seen in Zee's Banoo Mein Teri Dulhann has lost oodles of weight, so much so that people find it difficult to acknowledge her. Though the actor was aiming to shed a mere five kilos ended up weighing 15 kilos less! Reason being - excessive grueling at a western dance class!

"People can't recognize me after my weight loss. But now I am trying to get back to shape. More than my conscious decision to loose weight it was the dance classes which made me cut down to this frame," smiles Aditi who first came into the limelight with Starplus's Shararat and like a school girl at a recent do.

In this era where celebs have a tough time to cast away those extra kilos, here's one actor who will now be getting on a reverse cycle.

 

 
 
 

 

Juhi's loss, Raveena's gain

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!


 
 
 
Will history repeat itself?

All saas bahu regulars remember the hype generated by the love triangle between Ansh (Aakashdeep), Nandini (Gauri) and Karan (Hiten) in Kyunki….which led to the major twist - Ansh's murder by Tulsi (Smriti). And the same funda seems to be put into practice by the storytellers of the show.

If one goes by the current track, Ansh's son Eklavya (Aakashdeep again)....is going bonkers over KT (Mouni), unaware of the fact that the she's already going around with Lakshya (Pulkit). So once again buds in a geometrical figure!!! And if the makers are cashing in on this angel the day is not far when this humshakal beta Eklavya (who's been goody-goody till now) may turn vicious a la his papa.

Don't buy this? Then watch out for the drama that builds up in the upcoming episode where Tulsidadi holds a barsi for Ansh while Eklavya is still incognizant of the fact this she's the who's made him fatherless!


 

 

 

 

Why Suresh Menon felt like an animal!

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.
