Jabb Love Hua loses a 'b'

We have a keen eye for detail and it didn't take us long to notice that Zee's new show has had a change in its title - Jabb Love Hua has lost one of its 'bs' and now it's called Jab Love Hua! The change, producers point out was due to numerological reasons and we know how important the stars are for television shows these days. Tony and Deeya Singh thus decided not to take any chances and admittedly so. It's not a secret that their earlier show, Jassi Jaisi...was also named based on numerology...and the rest as they say is history!! Brinda Parekh keeps TV stint under wraps! Brinda Parekh, the name sounds familiar to those who are avid page 3 browsers. She's well-known in the circles for the tinee-winee outfits she adorns, which are camera friendly. On the career front, Brinda will soon be seen in a cameo in the much awaited Madhur Bhandarkhar film, Corporate. But what not many remember is that this bombshell has also tried her luck with TV. She has done an item number in Tumhari Disha and has essayed the role of one of Angad's (Iqbal Khan) many girlfriends in Balaji's Kaisa Ye Pyar Hai. But like other TV actors, Brinda too aspired to make it big on the silver screen. A little birdie told us that Brinda doesn't want to disclose her television act as she doesn't want to ruin her chances of getting offers from Bollywood. Jaya's tryst with the stars! The numerology bug seems to be biting television fraternity big time. The latest to join the gang is Shilpa bhabhi of Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki, Jaya Mathur. She now spells her name as Jayaa Mathhur (note the added a and h). Her close pal Lataa Sabharawal adviced her to do so as she felt quite positive after her name change. Rajev Paul, Delnazz Paul, Sveta Keswani, Moulli Ganguly….the list is endless...It seems that all these TV actors, on whom numerology has cast spell, are out to change the saying, 'What's in a name?' Anuj, the heartthrob of housewives! Anuj Saxena, the protagonist of Sony's, Rishtoh Ki Dorr, is hardly visible in the plot these days. The show was earlier announced as the story of the only brother (Anuj) and his three sisters. On a hot afternoon, housewives, who are the target audience of the show, tune in to catch the cool Anuj Saxena. But with his melting appearance, ladies seem to be let down. On top of it, increased focus on Gaurav Chanana and Sampada Vaze, who have yet to connect with the audience, seems to be affecting the TRPs of Rishtoh Ki Dorr. Anuj has been riding the success wave with Kumkum, Saara Aakash, Praatima and not to forget, Kkusum, which was flag ship show of Sony in those days till Jassi...happened. All these shows have contributed in making Anuj a heartthrob of women folk. Coming back to Rishtoh Ki Dorr; the damage is not grave. Give us more of Anuj and see how he develops a strong rishta with the viewers. Are the producers of the show listening? Rajeev buys a bicycle!!! Wait! Before you jump to any conclusion, we would like to tell you, it has nothing to do with the fact that Deal Ya No Deal has not been working for Rajeev. Apna ex-Sujal already owns a racy car. But to comply with his fitness demands, Rajeev has bought a bicycle. So keep your eyes open, you never know, he would be pedaling next to you. With this feat, Rajeev seems to be the setting a new trend in tellydom, where TV actors prefer to splurge on houses and cars to add to their lifestyle. Bollywood has unka Salman Khan who is regularly spotted in the by lanes of suburban Mumbai, riding a cycle in order to be fit. Imagine Rajeev signing to Aamna, 'chandi ki cycle, sone ki seat, aao chale darling, chale double seat! And what if it rains?? Sone pe suhaga …. Johny has celeb fans!! Johny Lever's television debut has caused quite a stir. The actor recently went to a restaurant in Mumbai with his family over the weekend. People from the neighbouring tables got up and went up to him singing johny aala re, aala re...! - he was mobbed and had to leave the restaurant. His fan list went beyond the ordinary when after the Sonu Nigam episode, both Lata Mangeshkar and Kailash Kher called up Johny to congratulate him on the success of the show. They are both avid watchers and Kher for a while thought that it was actually his recorded voice that was playing!
