Indian television's favourite Gujju beti might finally bid audiences adieu come this November! With a slew of new shows all ready to launch on Sony, <em>Ye Meri Life Hai</em> might be shown the door sooner rather than later. Our sources tell us that the show might be relegated to a nondescript, 7:30 pm slot beacuse of the shows that have been woven around <em>Indian Idol</em>, which is round the corner.

Actress Sheetal Thakkar was robbed and not by petty thieves, but by cops last evening! Sheetal, who quit Sony's <em>Ye Meri Life Hai</em> recently, had parked her car in the parking area adjacent to JJ Hospital, came back in an hour to find that it was missing.

Shamma Sikander is one lucky girl when it comes to having surprises from her friends. The leading lady of <em>Ye Meri Life Hai</em>, who celebrates her birthday today, is anxious about being taken in by surprise at the hands of her friends, yet again. "My friends give me out of the blue bolt surprises each year on my birthday, but each time I find out that they are planning something. This time again I know that something is up so I'm anticipating." she quips.

Move over rusty old family dramas, Sony's <em>Ye Meri Life Hai</em> is in for a punch of Gen-ex spunk, more like a shot of adrenalin in the arm. The show which started off as a new-age youth based show, had gotten itself tangled into a mess of family drama- ala the other saas- bahu operas.

The characters Reema (played by Simple Kaul) and Aakash (Ajay Arya) will now come into focus and steal the limelight on <em>Ye Meri Life Hai</em>, a consequence of the health hazards of its leads, Pooja (Shama Sikander) and Ashmit (Rahil Azam).

Gayatri is a melancholy lady in Star Plus' tearjerker, <em>Kahanii Ghar Ghar Ki</em>, so sad and let down that the lady has decided to take a break! Pregnant with Sameer's child, Gayatri, the only vamp with a career that can be spoken about, on Indian television, is ready to take a hiatus from next month. Rupali Ganguli, who plays the distraught character in the show, will be shown either having a miscarriage or an accident that will enable the character to move out with ease!

She hasn't been around in Sony's <em>Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin</em> for quite some time now, but Sony has compensated her with another show from their stable. Maninee will now be seen in <em>Ye Meri Life Hai</em> produced by Optimystix.Says Maninee, "My character's name is Bubbles. It's a Panju girl who is a bit over the top, very lively and chirpy. Bubbles will be from Ludhiana. She goes to London and then comes to Mumbai."

Remember the guy who shook his leg on the hugely popular number, <em>Hawa Hawa</em>, from the movie, <em>Don2</em>? After a year long hiatus, Jeet Upendra is back with a bang in Sony's <em>Ye Meri Life Hai</em>. "Yes I am back, I will play a lawyer in Ye…who will try to strategise Ronit's (the lead chracter in <em>Yeh</em>...) revenge. It's an interesting character," says a visibly excited Jeet.

wedding bells are ringing again in Sony. After Ayushmaan (Sudip Sahir) tied the knot with Dr Kavya last week, it's Shama Sikander aka Pooja Mehta of <em>Ye Meri Life Hai's</em> turn. After a lot of highs and lows in Pooja's life, she has finally agreed to marry Ashmit Malhotra, played by Raahil Azam. With tiffs between the families of the bride and the groom, it was decided to have a mixed culture wedding.

She is spontaneous, bubbly, chirpy, na?ve. She refused to audition for her role as Mandy in Sony's Ye Meri Life Hai, because she wanted to do it her way! She is the greatest confidant of the onscreen gujju icon Pooja Mehta in Ye Meri Life Hai. Sapana Patil spoke to Muskaan 'Mandy' Mehani on her bagging a role in Zee's Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa. <strong>Finally you will be doing work with a different channel.</strong> (Surprised) How do you know? Anyway, yes. I am so happy. My contract with Sony ends next month. So I am free to take up roles with other channels.
