sister

Normally here in India, younger ones are not allowed to wed till their elder siblings are married. But Deepika Singh aka Sandhya of Star Plus’ hit show <em>Diya Aur Baati Hum</em> in which she fought with traditions to become a cop, had to battle social norms in real life too. This to successfully convince her Delhi-based parents to get her younger sister Purva married despite the fact that she is still single.

Bollywood actor Aashish Chowdhury, who started his career with television, has lost his sister and brother-in-law in the terror attack that has engulfed Mumbai. Aashish’s sister Monica and her husband were shot dead inside the Oberoi Trident Hotel. ‘My sister Monica and her husband have been inside the hotel along with maybe 40 other hostages. They came here for dinner last night, but now they are not answering any calls,’ Aashish had told a news channel on Thursday.
