Telly Gupshup - Acting pricey ain't working

The quirky world of television is full of stars, starry mood swings, the rat race for the stellar roles and lots more... Acting pricey ain't working We hear Sangeeta Ghosh caused a lot of trouble by interfering with actors' payments of Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand. The voluptuous babe who pouted her lips and heaved her bosom at the first opportunity, was daggers drawn with the other sex-bomb in the serial, Sweta Keswani. Ghosh even went to the extent of telling producer Aroona Irani that she wanted Rs 10,000 more than what Sweta was getting! Yet, that may not have been the reason she was thrown out (presumably by the channel) from the fast forward track of Des…., as she was still Irani's blue eyed baby. Some people have all the luck... but not till eternity! Sanjit - Will he stay, won't he? Sanjit Bedi is another Anuj Saxena, if we may be excused the analogy. The theatre person from Delhi first walked out of Sanjivani- A Medical Boon. Then, he asked to be excused from Koie Jane Naa which incidentally wound up. Recently, he even walked out from Kyun Hota Hai Pyarrr. The guy still manages to land roles. Cinevistaas has given him another chance with its forthcoming Sahara show Saathiya, where he plays a South Mumbai brat. Hope this one is for keeps. Some more from the Sony store! Amar Upadhyay was offered Sony's forthcoming show Hum 2 Hai Na. Buzz is, he did not like his role 'coz he felt there were too many characters sharing centrestage. In other words, he thought it was fluff, not meat. Meanwhile, Sony is ready with another show Aayushman which will introduce a new guy who has modeled for a few ads here and there and featured in Babul Supriyo's music video which went something like Socha.... This one is being touted to be on the lines of Dougie Howser MD and may we add, a wee slice of Patch Adams too. Howzzzat! Cezanne bags 'Hum 2 Hai Na' Cezzane Khan, sandwiched between Shweta Tiwari and Gitanjali in Kasautii Zindagi Kay (Star Plus) will now be seen in Sony's Hum 2 Hai Na too. Earlier, Salil Ankola was supposed to play this character. The shooting is in full progress, we hear. But the father's portions have still not been shot. Shruti Ulfat will be shown preggy with two kids (Hansikas) and the father (?) is seemingly shown to have left her. In other words, the role scripted for Amar is still vacant, and pssst, is still up for grabs. Any takers? Want to know who Cezzane plays? A rich hi-fi businessman flirt who is in awe of Shruti. Wait and watch. Amar's sulking! And where was Amar Upadhyay during the Star Parivaar nite hosted at the NCPA recently? Was he unwell? Not really. The chocolate-faced actor must naturally be terribly cheesed off with the channel, for he wasn't nominated- either in the 'Best Pati' category or in the 'Best Jodi' category. To rub salt in Amar's wounds, the 'Best Jodi- UK' award was given to Sangeeta Ghosh and Varun Badola for their romance in Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand. For those with short recall, Amar made a brief appearance as Dev in Des…too. Would he come to flash synthetic smiles in the finale of the Star Parivaar song? No way! Meghna Naidu hits jackpot Meghna Kaliyon Ka Chamman Naidu will star opposite Himanshu Malik in a film titled Jackpot. If you have seen the pictures in the covers of the trade magazines, you would agree that it's the first time we need to keep that stuff away from the kids at home. Himanshu is that same guy who shared 17 smooches with Mallika Sherawat in Khawish. Some people have all the luck... till eternity.
