Juhi Parmar has been hogging the limelight as Kumkum with her on-screen pati Sumeet in tow for more than four years now. But as our kabru from the sets reveals that the gorgeous actress in getting a wee bit insecure these days after Shweta Kawaatra's entry. He says, "Lately, Juhi has been very unhappy about the fact that the current track is concentrating more on Nivedita and Sumeet." The buzz goes that she's even uncomfortable with the camaradrie that Shweta and Hussain share. Afterall, both of them had spend considerable time together as jodis on the sets of Nach Baliye 2.

Juhi Parmar has been hogging the limelight as Kumkum with her on-screen pati Sumeet in tow for more than four years now. But as our kabru from the sets reveals that the gorgeous actress in getting a wee bit insecure these days after Shweta Kawaatra's entry. He says, "Lately, Juhi has been very unhappy about the fact that the current track is concentrating more on Nivedita and Sumeet." The buzz goes that she's even uncomfortable with the camaradrie that Shweta and Hussain share. Afterall, both of them had spend considerable time together as jodis on the sets of Nach Baliye 2.

The effervescent and spontaneous Juhi 'Kumkum' Parmar has been making it to the scribes quite often these days. Be it her get-up in Star One's Antakshari or her recent painful eye injury, the lady has been quite carked. And to add to the list of her worries is trouble at paradise (read home). Grapevine insists that Parmar had fired her housemaid for some reason best known to her. But the carefree actor did not know what she was getting into. She was in for a rude shock when the maid's boyfriend threatened her with dire consequences! Goondaraaj in the name of love kya?

Its out in the open, Star Plus' Kumkum is set to shut shop by the end of its mega 1000 episodes. BAG Films came to this conclusion when the shows TRPs not only fell but the meat was lost as well. This long running daily had to infuse more characters to increase sensation, the latest addition being Shweta Kawatra. The show is not in its anticlimax phase with little scope for the protagonist Juhi Parmar. In fact it was rumoured that she took up Star One's Antakshari as she had prevised the possible demise of the show.

Anuj Saxena, the protagonist of Sony's, Rishtoh Ki Dorr, is hardly visible in the plot these days. The show was earlier announced as the story of the only brother (Anuj) and his three sisters. On a hot afternoon, housewives, who are the target audience of the show, tune in to catch the cool Anuj Saxena. But with his melting appearance, ladies seem to be let down. On top of it, increased focus on Gaurav Chanana and Sampada Vaze, who have yet to connect with the audience, seems to be affecting the TRPs of Rishtoh Ki Dorr.

Hussain seems to have stuck to his work schedule despite being married...for...well, a week! He was shooting for Kumkum on the day he was to get married...and he was working continuously throughout. The couple is planning to leave for Switzerland for their honeymoon sometime next month. We caught Hussain at Rock Bottom, here in suburban Mumbai on Wednesday, compering Sahara One's Indian Diva 2005 show. We also noticed that Hussain looked a little lost amidst all the divas present...well, that's good news for Tina! <strong>Kyunki team to hit Goa!</strong>

<strong>Nausheen or Sangeeta?</strong> Humayyun of Ana (The Ego), the Indo-Pak serial starring Nausheen '<em>Kkusum</em>' Ali Sardar and Aamna 'Kashish' Shariff is planning another serial titled Pehchan with Juhi '<em>Kumkum</em>' Parmar in the lead. The grapevine has it that he might come in as a co-producer for a venture starring Divya Dutta which would probably have Sangeeta 'Pammi' Ghosh featured in it too. Now, we hear, Nausheen is also being considered for the same role. Or is it for another role, as some say?
