AThe coy and demure Palak of Palki is embarrassed at her own behaviour. No, not as Palak but as the present Ayesha of Ek Ladki Anjaani Si - we are talking of the tall and gorgeous Karishma Tanna with negative shades in the serial ELAS.

Television stars are big crowd-pullers among the Asians abroad but even those viewers have their reservations when it comes to our vamps. For this is what Arzoo Gowitrikar aka vamp Tulika of Ek Ladki Anjaani Si encountered on her recent dandiya show in the US.
