Chatter Box

Girl alert
A new girl has entered Sudeep Sahir’s life. No,there’s no trouble in his blissful married life but this is the new twist in Star Plus’ Behenein. Mansi (Itishree Singh) will enter the serial as a friend and wellwisher who will try to give some solace to Mihir (Sudeep Sahir) now that his wife Smriti (Shiju Kataria) is in the asylum. Beware Smriti,we all know what ‘solace’ almost invariably turns into.

Back in action
After holidaying for almost a year,Sakshi Talwar of Ranbir Rano fame returns to the small screen with Yahaan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli. She plays the role of Saniya who is the male protagonist Karan’s (Karan Grover) childhood friend. It’s only been a day of shooting and the unit guys have already started teasing them and calling them the ‘Jaya-Amitabh’ jodi of small screen. Awww. Cute. We only hope there’s no Rekha in the picture.

The Visitors
Being a diehard fan pays,even in this cynical age. the Mehtas,a Malad family,has been found by SAB TV to be its biggest fan — they watch every single show on the channel from Lapataganj to Sajan Re Jhooth Mat Bolo to Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashma. So recently,SAB actors including Sumeet Raghavan,Mughda Chapekar and Biji Pandey,paid a ‘surprise’ visit to the Mehta family. It must’ve been thrilling for the fans,but what does the channel gain from this? Is that a TRP we hear shooting up?
