He may be playing the role of Smriti Irani's onscreen brother in Viruddh, but the bond between Karan Mehra and Smriti doesn't seem to be limited to the screen.

Apparently she seems to be treating Karan, who plays the role of Viddhanth in her show, like her real sibling even when the camera's not rolling. And, but of course, Karan has developed a deep liking for this big star. "Smriti's been very sweet to me. She also comes to my vanity van to verify whether I am alright and have taken my meals on time. She really acts like my elder sister on the sets."

Next we'll hear Karan crooning, 'phoolo ka taro ka sabka kehna hain, ek hazaron mein meri behna hain!'

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.
