Hansika refuses Adi

Hansika Motwani, the kid star on the telly, is taking a sabbatical. "I will concentrate on my studies till my tenth standard board exams are over. I shall come back after that," she says. Can you beat this? Aditya Chopra offered her a meaty role in his forthcoming film starring Shah Rukh Khan, but the pretty child refused politely.



Kali to divorce Garv

Avid followers of Kkusum, this one is for you! This is what is coming up in the show soon - Kali (Rucha Gujrathi) will part ways with her husband Garv (Chetan Hansraj). Reason? Taashu (Narayani Shastri) and her son Trishul (Akashdeep Saigal) will poison her thoughts against her husband. Tsk! Tsk! Meanwhile, Hansraj plans to take off for his real life honeymoon at last (the guy got married last month to his long air hostess fiancee Lavinia). "We might fly to Dubai on 20 February" he says. Isn’t Lavinia smiling finally?

Rajeev has company

Kay Kay has joined Rajeev Khandelwal in Ketan Mehta's serial to be shot on the lines of 24 Hours. Ketan is still tight-lipped about the project. While on Rajeev, one must say that Rishi, Akshat and Charu are doing a commendable job to keep the interest alive in Kahiin To Hoga despite Rajeev's absence for some time now. Must say that all three are good performers.



Zee ties up with Ramu

The grapevine is abuzz that Ram Gopal Varma has tied up with Zee and will make 10 films for the company. Good luck to both the parties. We bet, aspiring directors waiting to get their first break behind the camera are rubbing their hands in anticipation.

What's Sanjit Bedi doing in a dying 'Sanjivani'?

Remember Omi, the brattish young doctor who was part of the original medico quartet of Sanjivani? Well, he quit aeons ago when he realised his role was being eased out of the script. But now, suddenly, when the serial itself is on the verge of winding up, Omi(Sanjit Bedi) has popped into the plot, complete with an HIV infection. The bubbly Omi is now suitably pensive, but we can't imagine what pulled Sanjit back into a serial where he thought he didn't belong? Lack of other offers?
