Whistle stop

Even though Abhishek Bachchan eagerly awaits his wife Aishwarya Rai to deliver,his close friend Sikander Kher is of the opinion that Junior Bachchan is yet to grow up. The actor,on UTV Stars’ Live My Life,said that he finds it tough to imagine Abhishek as a father. Junior AB is now counting days as Rai’s delivery is said to be due around November 10. Kher also revealed that Junior AB is hoping that they have a baby girl. A daddy’s wish or is he merely being politically correct yet again,we wonder.

That’s Funny

In the excessively-competitive television entertainment market,BBC Entertainment has finally woken up to smell the coffee. The channel has launched a new comedy show,Come Fly With Me,in order to appeal to a wider variety of audience. From flight crew to check-in,paparazzi to passengers,comic duo Matt Lucas and David Williams of Little Britain-fame,play almost 50 characters in a mock-documentary set in an airport terminal. And to market the show,the channel has tied-up with Mumbai-based The Comedy Store for stand-up comedy acts. The channel also intends to follow this up with similar initiatives across other metro cities.

Love Actually

The show took off on an unexpected note,even though we knew all along that Ram and Priya in Bade Achhe Lagte Hain are eventually to fall in love. Having forged a sense of companionship,following a wedding neither of them was keen on,the on-screen couple managed to forge a companionship. With this,we hear,two of television’s current favourite characters are finally about to comply with their audience’s wish and fall for each other over the next few episodes. Though the track is a tad predictable,fans of the show can hardly wait to see love blossom.
