Kanjoos no one

Sandeep Rajora seems to have become a pucca kanjoos in real life. The actor had earned this reputation a few months back on the sets of Zee TV's Sarrkar. It seems inspite of winning a big fat amount of ten lakhs on Sony's reality show Fear Factor, the actor refused to treat his co-stars who constantly kept coaxing him. But then, how come this kanjoos actor manage to host a plush bash on his birthday recently? Well, it seems the place was offered free of cost to him. But then again, Sandeep chose not to invite most of his Sarrkar co-stars. A little birdie told us that two of his ex co-stars from Sarrkar bumped into each other recently at a party and they had a good laugh sharing a joke about how Sandeep again lived up to his reputation by not inviting them even for a free party! Sandeep will you please grow up now... at least after reading this. L'il Champs tribute to blast victims The opening song on 27 July episode of L’iL Champs is a dedication to the hundreds of innocent souls who lost their lives in the recent blasts in Mumbai. All the ten final contestants dubbed a special song, composed by Bappi Lahiri. Singing along with the kids at Empire Studio were Shaan and Alka Yagnik. The song is a humble tribute to a tragedy that not only Mumbaikars but, all Indians will find difficult to forget. Gajendrra Siingh said, “All associated with Sa Re Ga Ma Pa were horrified and saddened by the series of blasts in Mumbai on 7 July. This is our shraddhanjali to the numerous victims, their families and all those who are still recuperating from injuries.” One tight slap!!! Those who have been following Saath Phere on Zee TV must be aware that Samar, played by Mazher Syedd, had been dutifully obeying his wife, the vampish Kaveri (Anchal Trivedi), for quite sometime. But the recent episode saw a major twist in the tale! It so happened that Samar (Mazher) becomes cognizant of the fact that it's his own wife, Kaveri, who is the master mind behind the troubles his family has been enduring. Thus, he loses his cool and finally the henpecked husband takes a stand against her; result - one tight slap on her face! This smacking scene was canned on 7/11, the unfortunate day of bomb blasts. Panic had already set in, yet the team had to wrap up the crucial episode. But the response after the telecast was worth the effort. "My fans told me that it was a long due slap. Though I slapped in air, the viewers actually thought that it was for real," says Mazher, who has also done a cameo of a don in Yes Boss (SAB TV). Just be careful Mazher! For the sake of authenticity, you might just land in a soup. (Remember how Gauri Pradhan accused Akashdeep Saigal for actually twisting her arm for a scene in Kyunki…) Of stage shows and press ads!! Remember Shweta Agarwal? The overweight bespectacled girl Nikki of Dekho Magar Pyaar Se who seems to have completely gone out of circulation post the show. It seems the model turned actor has been taking time off for comparing stage shows all over the world (America and Europe) besides taking up press ads. "I went for a world tour titled Rockstars with the biggies of Bollywood which lasted for a good two months. I never thought, I could be a good host and the tour has been a fabulous experience. It's a different medium as one requires to interact with the crowd. One has to be alert on stage and there's no script," points out Shweta who is willing to take up television only if she is convinced about the role or else is looking forward to signing films. Here's one actor who doesn't believe in looking at scripts pyaar se.
