She is the original Kkusum -- she has a grace and charm that can put even her worst detractors on the backfoot! Our sources tell us that Nausheen Ali Sardar is all set to stage a comeback to television in a yet to be titled venture by Akshay Anand which will air early next year. Although the actress refuses to comment on the show, we know from a credible source that the show will have Dharmesh Vyas and Akshay Anand in pivotal roles.

He's Kshitij in <em>Kusum</em> and Saahil in <em>KyunKi Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi</em>. Amit Sareen is all set to bid adieu to one of the characters he is playing on screen. Kshitij is dying soon in <em>Kusum</em> and Amit seems to be happy with the turn of events.

Abhay Kapoor of <em>Kkusum</em> has serious competition on his hands. The most married man on television is up against Kashish of <em>Kahiin to Hoga</em>, who is all dressed up to tie the knot for the third time this Friday.

None of Abhay Kapoor's three successive Kkusums turned up to wish him on the completion of his first ever feature film. But that didn't stop Anuj Saxena from setting the dance floor on fire with fellow TV folk, several of whom turned up in strength to celebrate his debut on the big screen.

It is the home of our favourite stars. It is home to Parvati, Kesar, Kusum, Saroj and Kashish, and like our own, their houses too were in ruins a few days back. Sankraman studio in Goregaon East in suburban Mumbai that houses Balaji telefilms' major dailies was a dilapidated structure, as the torrential rains laid bare the place that keeps the country entertained night after night! But, as we move into the studio and oversee the damage, we realise the amount of effort that will go into bringing some semblance of order in the chaos that was brought in by the rain gods.

Rucha Gujarati, who had been lying low with a bad back for the last 10 days, is back on the sets. Rucha, who was diagnosed with a threatened slipped disc after persistent pain in the lower back, was prescribed complete bed rest. After spending over a week at home, Rucha is back at her shoots since the weekend, partially recovered. "I am better now," she says tentatively, "but I have to take a lot of precautions while working." Besides of course, also try and regulate her working hours.

Shalini Kapoor, who had entered the <em>Kkusum</em> plot as Aaryaman's wife a couple of months ago, has quit. "My track's going nowhere, and I thought it better to quit now than go on contributing a huge chunk of my time to this show," says the pretty lady, currently also seen in Zee's afternoon soap <em>Paalkhi</em>.

As if the trials and travails of Mahi, <em>Kkusum</em>, Kali and the rest of the gang were not enough, the Sony show will have Kkusum herself stabbing Abhay Kapoor in Thursday's episode. "<em>Kkusum</em> will stab me all of a sudden. It would come as a shock to viewers for sure because it would happen when even Abhay can't expect it during Karvachauth. Something keeps happening in Abhay's life all the time but this time it is something which no one can even dream of," says Anuj Saxena

<em>Kkusum</em> and <em>Bhabhi</em> will both have to wait. <em>Kkusum's</em> Kali and <em>Bhabhi's</em> Suhana has just suffered a slipped disc and has been hospitalised. The petite Rucha Gujarathi was suffering from persistent pain in the lower back for the last four days but continued to report for work. On Wednesday, apparently, the pain got so bad that she was forced to visit a doctor who has recommended bed rest for an entire week. Her condition, she says, is still in the preliminary stages, and can be cured soon.

Mahi will be seen throwing a party on the occasion of her and Abhay's 21st marriage anniversary. Why she does that is questionable because she has filed for divorce with alimony on the show. Also we will see that Mahi doesn't want <em>Kkusum</em> in Abhay's life... Abhay and Kkusum will head to Hyderabad for yet another fashion show, the third on the show, which was actually a pre launch event for a store that was opened and is now going to be incorporated into the show.
