Double trouble
Sharad Malhotra who plays Amar on Banoo Main Teri Dulhann is in a fix these days. He has to woo both his leading ladies in the soap and one of them happens to be his lady love in real life, Divyanka Tripathy. This has led to a lot of trouble for Sharad. Divyanka does not approve of his getting too friendly with co-star Anisha Kapoor who has been recently introduced in the serial as Gauri. She is keeping Sharad on quite a tight leash. In fact, Sharad even refused to shoot a wedding sequence with Anisha. After much persuasion, he finally agreed to do a make-believe wedding and just agreed to apply sindoor rather than perform the complete ceremony. So silly, no?
Cat fights
Tempers flared up on the sets of Naagin when protagonist Shayantani Ghosh and the creator-producer Aroona Irani locked horns. A heated argument raged between the two primarily because Shayantani stuck to her phone, because of which the shoot got delayed. Aroona got so furious that she asked the hairdresser to snatch the handset away from her. Shayantani lost her cool too and an ugly scene ensued. Shayantani simply refused to shoot after that and called up the channel to sort this out. She even demanded an apology from the senior actor. Talk about getting too big for her boots.
Rumour has it that Anu Malik has mood swings on the sets of Indian Idol. It almost seems like he decides in advance that who is going to be at the receiving end of his comments. Quite recently it was Sonali Bendre8217;s turn to be picked on. Each time she said something it came up for some comments from the music director. After contestant Torsha8217;s
performance, when Sonali commented on her strong body language, Anu immediately decided to elaborate on it. At which, Sonali decided to tell Anu off and told him to focus on her face. We don8217;t quite know what the point of saying that is, but the antics of celebrity judges seem to get weirder by the episode.
Family matters
Rubina Dalaik has quite a family. The actress who is playing Radhika, the protagonist on Zee TV8217;s new show, Chhoti Bahu hails from a typical middle-class family in Himachal Pradesh where acting is considered to be a disreputable profession, and looks like her clan is amazingly protective. Her entire family8212; all 22 members 8212;came to Mumbai to watch the first episode to ensure that things are on track. A bit too much? We think so too.
