Puneet might just see red!

Intriguing things happen on the sets of SAB TV's Left Right Left, the serial about men in uniform. It seems Puneet Issar, the Bollywood baddie who plays the Brigadier in this show, generally keeps to himself and is regarded with respect by the rest of the cast. His he-man physique and treble voice are intimidating enough to scare away younger actors. But Vikas, who plays Hooda in the serial, is one daring chap and a prankster. On one such occasion, when this notorious guy and Aparna Tilak (Dr.Shalini in the show) were passing by Puneet's personal green room, he banged hard on the door and ran away, leaving Aparna standing right in front of the door, when Puneet came out with a menacing look. She stood there trembling, only to later encounter a smile from the big, burly man who had by then realised that she was not the culprit. And Vikas' mischief doesn't end here. He is also known to entertain the crew by imitating the villain's style of dialogue delivery. Beware Hooda! For the day when you will be caught red-handed you might just be sent marching Left Right Left! Ashish Kaul patches up with Nausheen Looks like it's patch up time in tellyland. After Anuj Saxena and Mannish Goyal's much publicised patch up with the later coming for the former's private birthday bash, there has also been another low profile patch up. It seems Raymon Kakar (who played Nikita Chachi in Kkusum) and Mannish Goyal have also revived their old friendship. Then remember Ashish Kaul who played Anuj Saxena aka Abhay Kapoor's best friend in Kkusum? The actor used to bond very well with Nausheen Ali Sardar on the sets of Kkusum and thereafter she started tieing Rakhi to him. But very soon the relationship saw troubled times and she had stopped tieing Rakhi to Ashish since the last two years. But the buzz goes that both the actors have patched up. Says Ashish, who's currently playing negative in Kasauti Zindagi Kay, " This Rakhi was very special to me as I got my sister back. I am quite close to Nausheen who did tie Rakhi to me again." Now, we wonder who's inspiring TV actors to go on a patch up spree. Or is it so that there are no permanent friends or enemies in showbiz. Kasamh Se goes the Aaina way! Remember the Juhi Chawla-Jackie Shroff-Amrita Singh starrer Aaina? Kasamh Se seems to be following its footsteps. The similarities are endless. Firstly Pia elopes with Pushkar on the day of her marriage with Jai Walia. And in the film too, Amrita Singh runs away on her marriage day to achieve her aims (modeling). Juhi Chawal playing Amrita's sister gets married to Jackie and in the daily soap too Bani ties knot with Jai Walia. This is not it, now Pia comes back to Walia house as she doesn't get along with her husband and is trying to take Bani's place. Jai Walia certainly is in love with the docile Bani, but his haunting past leaves him in distress! Same was the case in Aaina, wherein Jackie is deeply in love with Juhi and has forgotten Amrita but when she makes a comeback in his life, misunderstandings start doing the rounds! What do we call this, a sheer co-incidence? Moulli becomes a netizen Bong beauty Moulli Ganguly, who currently features in Star One's Resham Dankh had purchased a ritzy lap top more than three months back. But operating the gizmo and surfing the internet just wasn't her cup of tea or coffee then! Nevertheless, the talented lady made up her mind and has learnt the ropes finally. She can now easily shoot emails and browse the net. What's interesting is that her 'good friend' Mazher Syedd (Samar of Saath Phere fame) too is not into computers and the works, as he has no time for it. But he wants to be a pro at it soon. Hmmm…now that Moulli has got a hang of this new technology, she can definitely coach her tagged 'friend' Mazhar a lesson or two on becoming net savy! What's in a name? Hiten Paintal, who ventured in acting with a 70 mm flick, Tere Liye, has been in news recently for replacing Manish Goel in Balaji's Kasautii Zindagi Kay. But what very few know that this petite and light-eyed actor is the son of Bollywood funster Paintal. But since he shares his surname with Gufi Paintal (remember, he played Shakuni in Mahabharat?), people do tend to mistake Hiten as his son! During an intermission of a play, we spotted Hiten with his girlfriend Kishwer Merchantt, and he was overheard lamenting, "Gufi Paintal is my uncle and his son is also gearing up to be an actor. It will get all the more confusing, so I want to clear it once for all!" Hmm…quite a problem! Imagine people approaching Gufi Paintal and praising him for his son's TV act, even though his real son has still to mark his debut!
