What's a political drama without a little bit of twist? Zee's first political family seems all set to experience it's first major tweak - Kunal Pratap Singh, the eldest son and heir apparent of Priyamvada Vir Pratap Singh will soon be involved in an accident, which according to our sources, will be fatal! This twist is scheduled to happen in the 100th episode of the show in the 3rd week of September.

Dayashankar Pandey's name might not necessarily ring a bell when you hear of it first, but the man is going about making his mark, and how. Pandey has been more famous for his roles in movies like Swades and Lagaan and now is making a comeback on television with Zee's <em>Sarrkkar</em>, next week.

The Rabba… unit planned a surprise party for Sangeeta and Aroona Irani, but it didn't go exactly as planned. Lead actor Sangeeta Ghosh and Zee's <em>Rabba Ishq Na Hove</em> producer Aroona Irani share the same birthday - that's today, 18 August. To mark the same, the crew members of Rabba... decided to throw a surprise party on Wednesday, at Garden Resort near Madh, where most of the TV shoots in Mumbai take place. Rather sweet, we must admit. But much to the plight of the crew, their surprise didn't really go as planned.

This is a trend that has taken the television industry by storm. After Sony's <em>Indian Idol</em> and <em>Fame Gurukul</em>, Zee's <em>Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge</em>, this show, to be launched in September, will be another music based show anchored by Bappi Lahiri of Disco Dancer fame!

Moulli Ganguly who is one of the child of Priyamvada (Divya Seth) in Zee's <em>Sarrkar</em>, would get remarried in a typical <em>Dil ishtyle</em>. Everyone will make Kruttika feel that her mother got her boyfriend, Rishab (Tarun Khanna) kidnapped. Kruttika tells her mother that she will marry Rishab and thus compel her to ditch plans of murdering him.

Anupam Bhattacharya, Nikki's nemesis in <em>Dekho Magar Pyar Se</em>, is back. He is all set to pay back Nikki for sending him to jail. Anupam, who played Sudhir in Zee's mega serial, <em>Koshish Ek Asha</em>, and more currently can be seen as Punit in SaharaOne's <em>Woh Rehne Wali Mehlon Ki</em>, will sport a very different kind of look in the show now. "Yes, I am back. I play the same character, but since my look has changed only Nikki will be able to recognize me," says Anupam, who has been part of the show since it begun.

Rajeev Khandelwal is sporting a new look, but there's a painful story behind the changed image! With an unshaven grungy look, Rajeev looks so much like the overworked Varun, that we thought that this is a case of the real imitating the reel. Not so! The handsome actor has just had his wisdom teeth removed, and since the stitches have not yet been removed, he hasn't been able to shave...hence the beard! Consequently, the star has been forced to miss 10 days of shoot for Zee's <em>Time Bomb</em> as a result of severe toothache.

Kavita Kaushik denies speculation that she caused the replacement of Sachin Sharma.

Narayani Shastri will no longer be seen in her teen avatar in Zee's <em>Piya Ka Ghar</em>, where she had a double role. The lady, who played the mother daughter duo in this afternoon daily seems very dejected at having to give up this role which is very close to her heart. "Yes, I am feeling a little sad...but what to do! It's the call of the production house," says Narayani, who has just this show in her kitty for the time being.
