Rohit gets comfy on Ek Main...

Rohit Roy seems quite at home in his new avatar as an anchor with Ek Main... Just three weeks old on the sets of the show, the actor has not only made the contestants feel at home, but has made original host Shaan's absence bearable for these youngsters who were missing the singer. Producer director Gajendrra Singh must be glowing with pride for having made the right choice. Sources say that many big names in the music and television industry had been approached to fill in for the four weeks that Shaan was away, but they finally zeroed in on Rohit, who had no inhibitions about taking Shaan’s well established place. That the actor got into the act of hosting this popular series with remarkable ease is commendable. Watching him on the sets is a delight as he is punctual, learns his lines and makes an entry with Ishitta that few can ignore. His friendly banter with his co anchor, the audience, participants and the judges just gets the show rolling. The show works for the actor as somewhere, he sees it as an outlet to fulfill his dream of being a singer. Humming away in between takes, Rohit even sang a hit film song at the Groovy Gurus' request on his first day after the shoot. And, he was far from besura. He will be hosting the finale with Shaan, Ishitta and a new female anchor later this month. Way to go, Rohit! Shubhaavi's friendly quotient with Vidya! Doesn't one find a striking resembelence between the talented TV actor Shubhaavi K and Vidya Balan of Parineeta fame? As a matter of fact, both the spirited gals initiated their innings on TV with Balaji Productions and have showered maa ki mamta in ad films. With time, Shubhaavi and Vidya have graduated in terms of qualitative work. Personally too, they share a common friend and keep in touch as and when possible. "My good friend, Lin is Vidya's friend too and when I met her two years back we hit it off instantly. In fact, while shooting for Parineeta, Vidya called me and applauded my performance in Kyunki... ," says the striking actor who is maha excited about her new look and role in Kyunki… which is getting bitchier by the day. Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii's fourth bhabhi.... Jaya Mathur is the fourth actress to play the role of Shilpa Bhabhi in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii after Neelam, Surbhi and Sucheta Trivedi. Though we think, the character hasn't really evolved through the years,but somehow Jaya feels, "My role had turned negative for sometime and now it's again positive. I support Parvati bhabhi now and stand by her. From positive to negative and positive again makes the character interesting. I extend support to Parvati bhabhi along with my husband." Interstingly, Jaya who has previously worked with Balaji in Bandhan and Kahiin Kissi Roz had recently played a call girl in Kasamh Se who was hired by Jai Walia played by Ram Kapoor. "My track which started as a cameo was revived once and may be back again,"says Jaya. Now we must admit, to play a Bhabhi in one show and call girl in another one is quite a tough task. Would any other sari clad leading ladies of K serials dare to play a contrasting character of a call girl in any show? Our guess is as good as yours. Panchgani under terrorist attack!
