Actor Manav Vij, whose claim to fame is the nerdish act of Joydeep in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, has big things in store for him as far as his characterization goes.

Made to look like a Jassi counterpart, Joydeep's role started of on a humdrum note but later picked up when the track focused on his circumstantial marriage to Bhumi, who loves to hate him.

And now banking on this footage, Balaji head honcho is leaving no stone unturned to make her big ticket show, all the more spicier. First, it will be re-entry of Mandira from the gallons and later as our sources say, Joydeep gets a makeover ala Jassi! From an awkward ugly duckling he metamorphoses into a handsome man sans his spectacles.

Doctor turned actor, Joydeep will definitely make hay while the sun shines on him. But we all remember Jassi's fate post makeover…a drastic fall in TRPs. So will this strategy work in favour of Joydeep?

When we called up Rajeev Paul to find out what's happening in his life, we figured out that the actor is busy taking a few lessons in understanding brands these days. It came out that Rajeev is a regular visitor to Jai-Hind and HR Colleges these days.

Says the actor, "I am trying to get feedback from marketing students about building brands. I think being an actor is also about being a brand. Though, a lot of actors depend on their character's brand, I would like the actor in me to become the brand. For that to happen, the feedback of people who study brands makes a lot of sense."

Great Rajeev, we appreciate the efforts you are taking in building a brand as an actor and of course who can forget your recent `circuit act' in Nach Baliye 2. But, we just wonder how would you do justice to the feedback without much work in hand? Any takers?

Nattasha Rana, the low profile actress who is currently seen in Zee's Ghar Ki Laxmi Betiyaan rose to fame as Pam Mallya, Rudra' s ( played by Nikhil Arya) mother in Star's afternoon daily Kesar. But not many know that Nattasha started her TV career with a show called Doosra Kewal directed by Lekh Tandon, in which her co-star was none other than today's king Shahrukh Khan.

Doosra Kewal was SRK's third show after Fauji and Circus where Nattasha played his sister. Not just this, but she later did a telefilm with SRK called Aakhen for DD1. Here, he essayed the role of a blind man and she was his love interest as a nurse.

Somehow, over the years Shahrukh has struck gold, and Natassha couldn't really create a splash? But we're deadsure if both had to ever cross paths again, King Khan who is known to be a very humble star will definitely acknowledge his former costar.
