Blast from the past
Recently,when Amitabh Bachchan met old friend and colleague Mithun Chakraborthy on the sets of Zee TV’s Lux Dance India Dance,the focus was not so much on the dance performances as the reminiscences that the two stars swapped. Among other things,the pair talked about the time that Mithun Da slashed his chest and offered his blood to the Goddess Kali,to pray for Big B’s recovery from his near-fatal accident on the sets of Coolie. It may sound extreme,but looks like Jai has finally found his true Veeru.

Double trouble
Television just can’t stop taking inspiration from Seeta Aur Geeta. The evergreen story of look-alikes taking each other’s place and teaching a few lessons along the way has found new life in SAB’s comedy,FIR. Kavita Kaushik,who plays the spunky Harvanyi cop Chandramukhi Chautala says that she’s now excited to play the docile Sheetal,the polar opposite of the role that she’s become popular for. “I have done a variety of roles and playing a completely meek character was unusual. Viewers can actually see the difference between the two.” Well,she certainly pulled off the tough cop act; let’s see if she can play the eternal victim well. But we’ll have to say: we’re getting a little tired of the Seeta Aur Geeta rip-offs.

Horror show
After all his tantrums,we’re wondering why Mika continues to be on TV. But maybe that is the whole point — after Rakhi Sawant,he’s certainly the highest TRP generator for any TV channel. We’ve all heard of his ego clash with singer and fellow judge on Star Plus’s Amul Music ka Maha Muqqabala,Shaan. His latest outrage is against the dismal results his team has garnered on the show and he claims that it’s to do with his lack of a fan following in Mumbai. “Come to Punjab and see what Mika can do,” he was heard yelling,adding that if his team gets kicked out,he’ll quit the music industry altogether. But knowing the singer,we’re sure he’ll come back with a snarky take on the whole fracas. Remember the infamous Pappi Kyun Li,which followed his kiss with a certain Ms Sawant?
