Generally we hear about lead pairs getting cozy with each other, but apparently Arhaan Behl aka Krishna of Star Plus’ <em>Pratigya</em> has developed a liking for Avantika Hundal who plays sister to Pooja Gor aka Pratigya. Sources from the sets vouch for their off-screen camaraderie and suggest that Behll is friendlier with Hundal when the cameras aren’t rolling.

Sara Khan who debuted on television with Bidaai on Star Plus has now started to make demands. The young and bubbly Sara gets very childish on the sets very often. Recently, Sara and Parul, the leading ladies of the show had to shoot till late in the night to complete the episode. Where Parul agreed to the shoot, Sara put forward a condition. She said, “I’ll shoot till late only if I get to have an ice cream!”

Chaitanya Choudhary, who plays Sagar in Star Plus's Sangam, narrates a rather embarrassing incident. He was shooting a scene when suddenly his towel came off. "There was one scene where I have to chase Ganga (Jeniffer). While running behind her my towel came off. But thank god, I was wearing my shorts," explains Chaitanya. "It was the funniest incident. We rewinded that whole scene and shared a great laugh. Unfortunately that full episode was chopped off but I still can't stop giggling when I think of it," adds Choudhary. Moral of the story never chase girls when you're in your towel.

Actor Ashima Bhalla, the protagonist (Sudha) of Star Plus' prime time show, Meri Awaz Ko Mil Gayi Roshni, is leaving no stone unturned to get into the skin of her character. In one of the recently canned episode, Sudha had to maintain a maun vrat, in order to pray for the success of her love, Raaj. And Ashima decided to literally push envelop by keeping mum for the whole day when the episode was being shot.

Its out in the open, Star Plus' Kumkum is set to shut shop by the end of its mega 1000 episodes. BAG Films came to this conclusion when the shows TRPs not only fell but the meat was lost as well. This long running daily had to infuse more characters to increase sensation, the latest addition being Shweta Kawatra. The show is not in its anticlimax phase with little scope for the protagonist Juhi Parmar. In fact it was rumoured that she took up Star One's Antakshari as she had prevised the possible demise of the show.

We called up Shruti Ulfat, the actor who rose to limelight as the star anchor on Star Plus's Chalti Ka Naam Antakshari, to find out what's keeping her busy these days. The chirpy and petite actor who had taken a pregnant pause in her career is currently in Dehradun. On a rather happy note, she said, " I am having a ball of a time in the valleys of Dehradun. I am now in the seventh month of my pregnancy and expecting the baby by the end of March..I have enjoyed every bit of my stay in Dehradun and am eagerly awaiting the arrival of our new family member."

Isn't history repeating itself? Five years back when Kkusum, featuring Anuj Saxena, aired on Sony, Star Plus' KBC with Amitabh Bachchan on the host's seat had simultaneously left the audience spellbound. And now once again both the channels are ready with two mega shows to be telecast around the same time. We are talking about Kulvaddhu (Sony), which is backed by Anuj's production house - Maverick and KBC (Star Plus) where King Khan, Shahrukh will takeover the mantle from Big B. The former goes on air from 25th December while the latter will be back in January.

We have recently heard that the television heartthrob Nikkhil Arya is an unusually changed man off late. The usually chirpy livewire has become calm and a quiet man as seen on the Star Plus' Kyunki Saans Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi (he plays Nandini's hubby, Aseem Gupta). "This could be a direct result of his changed personal lifestyle which includes a little of meditation, yoga, classical music training and a conscious effort to stay away from the opposite sex" - says an amused source close to the actor. In fact he also seems to be on an exercise spree and has lost oodles of weight.

Almost a decade back, she made her presence felt on the small screen as Neena Gupta and Kawanljeet's daughter Meethi in Star Plus's Saans. But somehow her career graph has not been exciting so far. Last seen in India Calling, this bong beauty was quiet gung-ho about playing a journalist, Arundhati in Sony's Vaidehi. And her role looked quiet promising from episode one of the show, but her character somehow didn't develop much. Now after a short haul, Miss Daan is back to help the protagonist Vaidehi in taking revenge!
