Much before Karan Johar brought the biggest gossips of the tinseltown on his controversial couch of Koffee With Karan, Bollywood had its dose of celeb chit-chatting on Rendezvous with Simi Garewal. A generation, which has grown on seeing the candid side of their favourite stars on the country's very first celebrity talk show, would be happy to know that it is set for a comeback. Its host and veteran actor Simi Garewal has herself confirmed the news that the show will return to the small screen soon. More from the world of Entertainment: Simi said, "There are definitely plans to bring back the show. Let's keep our fingers crossed," though she didn't give any other detail about the project. She spoke while interacting with the media on the sidelines of the 4th National Yash Chopra Memorial Award, which was given to superstar Shah Rukh Khan this year. Simi was among the jury members of the award. When asked about what took the judges to decide upon Shah Rukh's name, she said that it was the easiest decision to make. "It took us just one moment to decide that Shah Rukh would be the choice. I suggested his name and everyone agreed immediately. He is fabulous," she said.
