There is high-voltage drama coming up in Ekta Kapoor's Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.
Tulsi Virani (Smriti Z Iraani) is now back home, thanks to her dutiful son Karan Virani(Hiten Tejwani).Karan bailed her out from jail, lying that his mom a was mentally imbalanced person.But she will soon go back behind bars!How will that happen, you may ask.The adarsh beta will get a call from his lawyer and the two of them will dscuss the fact that he has hidden the gun.THe latest vamp on the scene Mohini (Tasneem Shaikh) will overhear the conversation and inform the lady who generally on the other side of the fence these days. Savita (Apara Mehta), who else! Savita, in turn, will inform the cops. Remember she said Kanoon Tulsi ko saza de na de, main use zaroor saza doongi? Better said, the saas will forget ki woh bhi kabhi bahu thi. Aisa bhi hota hai? Aisa hi hota hai!


A girl in Sasha's life!
Sasha of Kahaani... is going great guns. Getting his love in real life, he has his reel life rocking as well. Says Chetan Hansraj, "It is not just the average college crowd that seems to like me. Recently, a flower girl at the traffic signal recognized me as Garv." So, what's happening after Sasha and Garv? "Well, Sasha will have a girl in his life. Balaji is looking at a model to fit the portrayal. As for Garv, Kali (Rucha Gujarathi) will catch Kumud (Aaksha Goradia) and Garv in a compromising position. The love triangle will get even more complicated." And according to what We hear, Balaji is looking at a top model to be Sasha's flame! Any guesses?


Rati's exhorbitant demand?
The grapevine is abuzz with the news that a TV producer wanted to cast Rati Agnihotri for one of the main roles in his next serial. But the Ek Duje Ke Liye lady demanded a price which almost stopped the producer's heart!

Ramu & Ghai in television
K Sera Sera is diversifying into television software and the Factory's Ram Gopal Varma is tipped to supervise the programming. We hear, K Sera Sera is making a 1-hour show titled Darna Mana Hai. Plans include a reality show for Sony and also a revival of Hum Paanch for Zee TV. We hear, Subhash Ghai is also getting into television software. Ghai's Kisna is ready for release on January 21.


Attack on Preeti
Ekta Kapoor's favourite girl Preeti Puri will soon be attacked in K Street, Pali Hill. No prizes for guessing who will engineer the attack. Ramola Sikand, err, Sudha Chandran, who else! Chandran is back to her old ways. Remember Kaahin Kissii Roz? Actually, even her make up is virtually the same and the lady keeps talking to herself. We wonder why K Street, Pali Hill which started off as a story of three friends has now completely shifted its focus to Chandran. And digest this! Chandran's KKR henchman, Ratan, has also been included in K Street....! Some coincidence!


Kashish contemplating revenge does not evoke interest. Zero down on Piyush's killer, Ekta. Quickly! KTH has slowed down drastically.
