Actor and anchor Mohan Kapur, who has been away from the limelight for some time now, is now being 'heard' on the big screen, giving the 'Hindi voiceover' for John McClane (Bruce Willis) in Die hard 4. An excited Kapur, who is gifted with a sexy baritone voice says, "I had last anchored for Heart Beat. For Die Hard, I was pretty nervous as after it was after five years that I was dubbing for a film." So, other than doing voice-overs, what's keeping him busy these days? "I am open to acting offers. I have writing ambitions also but I can't go on waiting for concepts to be approved all my life. It's a practical idea to take up the offers which are coming on their own. Opportunities count in this city where people come from outside to work in the entertainment industry". With lady love Achint Kaur's career going great guns, we are sure her luck factor will rub on Mohan soon.

Chhavi wedding blues: The actor bruised herself during a wedding sequence Getting married can be a tough thing, be it in real life or reel life !! Chhavi Mittal aka Nikki of Viraasat tells us why. Like they say, just going through the whole ceremony is a task in itself. Chhavi had quite an experience of that recently when shooting for her wedding sequence in the show where she is seen marrying Aman Varma. She bruised herself with the heavy trousseau she had donned, loaded with Zardosi, embroidery and heavy jewellry to complement that. "I have got some rashes on my skin especially my stomach, neck and arms, where the outfit clung to me. The zardosi work on the dress was coarse and has left its mark; the jewelry too was very heavy and bruised my neck severely. To top it all the entire sequence was shot over five five days where I had to wear the same dress which added to the injury," says Chhavi. Meanwhile, this week the serial takes a sudden twist where Chhavi will be getting married to her brother in law in the serial, essayed by Aman Verma. From here on the show is all set to move in a different direction. Well, isn't marriage all about that! Turkey darshan by default Jay Bhanushali and the Kayamat gang is just back from Turkey. When the tellychakkar team called them up, the starcast had some interesting incidents to share with us. Chucking aloud, Jay says, "When we took a taxi, the driver took us the wrong way and eventually we left it midway. Even the taxi driver couldn't figure out the hotel, and we kept going round and round in circles to find our way to the hotel. Since, we failed to communicate in the local language, the taxi driver too gave up on us and left us stranded." Unable to find another taxi, they somehow managed to find a police who guided them to a nearby police station. But somehow, even this didn't help as even they didn't know about the hotel. Adds Panchi, "This continued for quite sometime. Our hotel was just at a distance of 15-20 minutes but it took us hours to get there. Though it was scary and tiring, but by the end of it, we were giggling through the sign language." Well, we think it was `Turkey Darshan' by default for them, which otherwise wouldn't have been possible considering their busy schedule I will walk and talk English Pallavi Subhash aka Gauri of Karam Apnaa Apnaa fame has become a household name with her convincing act in this Balaji daily. A versatile artist - be it acting or dancing skills (as was seen in the recent Star Parivaar awards), these days she is trying to polish her conversational abilities, her angrezi we mean. Our khabru on the sets found Pallavi making attempts to speak in English with her co-stars and even with visitors who approach her. Good hands on practice. If Bollywood has Kangana Ranaut brushing up her angrezi, Tellywood too does have Pallavi. Let's see who becomes a pro first Mona masi jaise koi nahin After a successful run in Jassi Jaise Koi Nahin and winning in Sony's reality dance show, Mona Singh has expressed her interest in experimenting with different things. So what's next on Mona's agenda -Music Videos! Here too she is experimenting with various genres. While on one side she has appeared in a soulful sweet ballad sung by India's melody queen Lata Mangeshkar, she will soon be seen in a whole new cool avatar in the Nick Fundoo Superstar Music Video where she will be joined on screen by 4 Fundoo Superstar Kids and Nick toon star Spongebob SquarePants. But there is another reason as to why she took on this project besides the fact that she adores kids. Her 4 year old nephew is a huge fan of Nick and watches the channel regularly with his masi whenever she's at home. So as a gift to her beloved nephew who would love to see masi dance with his favorite cartoon character Spongebob Squarepants, Mona instantly agreed to feature in the music video Amar Upadhyay: An animal lover! We saw actor Amar Upadhyay feeding stray dogs at wee hours in the morning. Apparently this is his regular routine on his morning walk; he feeds packets of Tiger biscuits to dogs that have no shelter in the Seven Bungalow area. On his career front, Amar, who's busy with Star One's Viraasat, has moved his focus from Bollywood to Bhojpuri Cinema, not to act but to produce. He has set up a production house called Friday Films, where he is all set to make a remake of a Marathi film Devki Poonam is the Perfect Wife Poonam Dhillon's play Perfect Wife opens today! Thursday night saw her throw a special show for select media and guests. The play was attended by actors from the Hindi theatre, Television and the film industry. Amongst the crowd what caught our eye was the very noisy Pooja Bedi with arm candy Hanif. Pooja compensated for his silence with all the chatter and a series of loud laughs. Luckily, as she knew most of the audience, she was pardoned for the all the possible disturbance caused. TV stars as usual can now be seen at every do, so we witnessed Kyunki actor Jiten Lalwani, Traffic Signal actress Neetu Chandra, actor Pawan Shankar who was last seen in Kasam Se, with a theatre regular Ashish Roy. Theatre counterpart and close friend Padmini Kolhapure also made an appearance with old friends like Smita Jaykar, and actress Shabana Azmi who came along to cheer for Poonam. We saw numerologist Sanjay Jumani with his family for the play. The first row was booked for her kids and a special someone who seemed to take good care of them… apparently the man is rumoured to be Poonam's 'good friend' from Dubai. The Play's motif was identical to her former attempt The Perfect Husband. The Perfect Wife however dealt with a woman's multi tasking abilities as a home-maker and a professional. Poonam who was very courteous with her guests urged everyone to spread the good word if they liked the play… Here is our way of doing it: we at Tellychakkar urge you to go watch Poonam Dhillon in a special avatar as The Perfect Wife! Manava Naik continues to shoot in spite of her viral fever IManava Naik, who plays a Punjabi Kudi Manjeet in Zee's Teen Bahuraniyan has proved herself to be a true professional. The past few days have been not so good for her after taking to severe viral and high temperature. Manava has been advised by the doctor to take the much needed rest for her speedy recovery. But the girl is out shooting and says, "I have my commitments and it is not fair that the production of the serial suffer in any way because of me. The producers are very understanding and I was off work for sometime but kept feeling guilty and reported to work when I felt a little better." Apparently the whole team is busy looking after the sick dame, so much so that her director even does Reiki for her on the sets. Well, Manava enjoy the attention while it lasts! Mummy's Boy: Vikas aka Hooda develops cold feet in front of his mother It's the typical case of reel life being a replica of reel life! While he may be having the reputation of a bad temper, Hooda aka Vikas Manaktala from SAB's Left Right Left develops cold feet in front of his mother. Ironical as it may be, his character Hooda in Left Right Left is a mirror image of him when it comes to his relation with his mom. Vikas's mother has come all the way to Mumbai from Delhi to be with her dear son and one can see a visibly scared Vikas these days. So much so, that if his mother is on the sets Vikas makes it a point to be at his best behavior. Guess, Mummy Manaktala should think of shifting base to Mumbai to tone down the ever swinging moods of her son!
