A Bengali by birth, Ashiesh Roy celebrated the Maharastrian festival, Gudi Padwa and that too by adding his rib-tickling sense of humour. On this auspicious day, he forwarded smses to one and all on his contact list which read, 'Hi! My friend! Wish you Shilpa Shetty's favourite festival - 'Goody' Padwa'. Funny huh!

On the professional note, he claims to have signed three new shows, which he can't talk about.

Well, well…Ashiesh you can always send us a good sms, once you start shooting for your projects!

While most of the actor's want to multitask and do more than one serial, Aamir Ali, of Woh Rehne Wali Mehlon Ki , is somehow very happy just being Saumya. On a rather nostalgic note, he says, "I am happy with my show and t seems like I've come a long way. Initially, I had no plans of getting into acting. "

So, we asked the cute actor as to how did he manage to get his first break in acting? To which he said, "Most of the actors have had their first brush of acting either while doing theatre or small acting roles. But I never indulged in much of that. Looking back, I can remember just one drama which I will never forget for the rest of his life. And in that drama, I enacted the a chair in that. "

Apparently, the drama revolved around a classroom scene and he was to play the role of a chair.

We all know about the recently held bash hosted by Jay and Kinnari Mehta celebrating Sindoor Tere Naam Ka's 500 episodes. The entire cast and crew was spotted letting their hair down and having a good time. But what pinched the most was the conspicuous absence of the show's former leading lady Gurdeep. At one point in time, Sindoor was almost synonymous with Gurdeep.

She was associated with this daily since the start but her character was knocked off by the makers. Reasons cited: Gurdeep's high handed behavior on the sets or then was it because she got too busy with Nach Baliye. And this led to inclusion of a new character, a new lead, Aashka Goradia. In a nutshell, Gurdeep's ouster happened on a bitter note, so bad that a co-actor reportedly commented that her exit put a smile on everyone's face.

And this frigid relationship enjoys the same status even today as can be seen from the invitation list of this bash where Gurdeep didn't even figure. Guess people should just let bygones be bygones.

LatA lot has been written about why Sony's Kulvuddhu was axed. But here's what a channel head honcho had to say "There's really no conspiracy here. It's just that after working two months on the show, we realized that the story wasn't moving the way we wanted it to. And the lead protagonist Niyati didn't really fit into our channel profile."

So, which way should Sony's fiction programming be moving? Well, here goes, "We clearly want to differentiate out programming for the young, aspirational women who want to go out there and achieve something for themselves. So, we're not looking at a typical housewife, so a Kkusum or a Jassi clearly fits our bill."

Well, well so looks like the lead protagonist Niyata was actually going in the Viruddh direction.
