What
if Karan (Hiten Tejwani)
could not marry Nandani (Gauri Pradhan) in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu
Thi. In real life Hiten and Gauri are now a happily married
couple. It sure is a season of weddings in tellyland. Small screen
romances are cumulating into marriages faster then soap writers can
churn out plots. Recently Apoorva Agnihotri — Aarman Suri in Jassi
Jaisie Koi Nahin married Shilpa Saklani — anga of Kyunki
Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Manish Goel — Tushar of Kahani
Ghar Ghar Ki and Poonam Narula — Nandita of Kasauti
Zindigi Kay tied the knot. So did Yash Tonk and Shona of Kahin
Kissi Roz and Sumit Sachdeva and Kiran — Gomzi and Karishma of
Kyoon Ki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Apart from Apoorva Agnihotri,
all new brides and bridegrooms are from the Balaji soap factory. About
time Ekta Kapoor’s opened a matchmaking bureau as well. A long yatra Today, Deepti Bhatnagar is a Mussafir on a very different Yatra.
Her two shows — you guessed it — Musafir Hoon Yaaron and Yatra
are notching up decent TRPs on Star Plus. And her daily soap Kabhi
Aayi Na Judai has done a Sehwag — completed a triple century.
Though all three are being aired on Star Plus, Deepti says she’s
open to all channels for shows she’s producing that include a daily
and two serials. And films? "Yes, they are very much on my radar.
But I’ll only produce them not act in them." Which is all right
considering she’s had 18 back-to-back flops in Bollywood. But right
now she’s only thinking of her success — Kabhi Aayi Na Judaii.
"I am ecstatic`85300 episodes is a great achievement. I want to
thank lead stars, Pooja Rawal, Prabhat Bhattacharya, Nasir, my
parents`85" Now, now Deepti, its 300 episodes not an Oscar! Just junoon no ehsaas This has nothing to do
with Aamir Khan’s The Rising. As this rising is of a different
kind. Remember two-film wonder — Rahul Roy who virtually disappeared
after Aashiqui and Junoon? The forgotten star has been
around but without much work. He tried his hand at direction with Mera
Joota Hai Japani starring Sanjay Dutt and Jackie Shroff but the film
got canned. He was briefly seen in Kaise Kahoon on Zee and in a
cameo in Karishma — The Miracles of Destiny. Now Rahul is seen
in Ehsaas on DD where he plays a guy who, he says intriguingly,
"will leave you wondering if he is good or bad." But, he adds
almost defensively, "I’m doing this is because I know Raman Kumar
from the time he used to be with Mahesh Bhatt." So is he planning
to stay long on the small screen? "I don’t know. I am looking
around for good roles in films and will be directing a movie. I have
signed Manoj Bajpai and am trying to get Sushmita Sen," says Rahul,
making no secret that the big screen lure is still hard to resist. One for the road

Back in 1992 when she came
to Mumbai to promote her handicrafts business in Meerut, little did this
entrepreneur know that destiny had a radically different plan for
her.
