Vinay Jain

Jain steps into Anuj Saxena's shoes in Sahara's Prratima. How will the producer

Rajaa Mukerji justify his entry?

Says Vinay, who also stars in Jassi... (Sony)and Remix (Star One), '' The time-immemorial trick of plastic surgery innovated by Balaji Telefilms!"

So, in all probability, Anuj Saxena will not return to the show. The two parties may deny the friction, but memory keeps going back to the fact that Anuj did not attend the 100-episode celebration party hosted by Rajaa.

When contacted, Saxena said that he was not coming back "probably because he demanded a price which Rajaa found too high." Rajaa could not get Manish and Cezzane either. Is there a money issue there as well? We can only wonder.

Rajaa was unavailable for comment. Once we got him on the line but he excused himself saying, "He was busy in a shot." Repeated calls on his mobile thereafter failed to evoke a response.
