The latest news is that makers of Khichdi are back with a new show on Sab TV. Mrs. Tendulkar by Hats Off will see the comeback of Deven Bhojani post <em>Baa Bahu aur Baby 2</em>. Says a source, “Kishori Godbole has been roped in to play the lead along with Deven. Hats Off is pitching for the prime time slot, but as the channel's prime time is already full, they have not yet confirmed the time slot to them. The show will be a daily. The channel has high hopes from the show.”

It’s that time of the year again when viewers vote for their favourite Star Plus’ characters at the <em>Star- parivaar awards.</em> This time round the viewers will see performance from the new characters as the old parivaar characters make way for the new characters. Characters from <em> Baa Bahu Aur Baby, Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Bidaai, Grahasti, Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil,</em> Sachin-Supriya; Hussain-Tina; Aamir-Sanjeeda, the three winning<em> Nach Baliye Jodis</em> will perform.

Mohan Bhandari who is currently seen in Zee’s <em> Saat Phere</em> has bagged a cameo. Now he will be seen in <em> Baa Bahu Aur Baby</em> as Lila’s (Lubna Salim) father. We tried contacting Mohan Bhandari but he was not reachable. Thus we decided to talk to his on- screen daughter Lila.

His good looks won him a host of ad films, music videos and television shows. And now Gautam Rode's luck has favoured him as he gets to play the lead in Prakesh Mehra’s Production <em> Simply Sapney</em> on Zee Next. Along with this he also returns to <em> Baa, Bahu Aur Baby</em>. “I loved the story of <em> Simply Sapney</em> when it was narrated to me. After Lucky I was waiting for the right role and this came my way. I’m very happy,” says Gautam.

Resham Tipnis who is currently seen in <em> Baa Bahu Aur Baby</em> is in a mood for a party. It’s her birthday today and she has exciting plans for the day. The actress seems to be pretty excited as she has managed to take a break from her busy shooting schedule. “I’ll be with my children on this special occasion. I’m also planning for a lovely dinner with them,” says Resham excitedly.

The hot and sizzling actress who was last seen in<em> Nach Baliye 3</em> is entering JD Majethia's <em>Baa Bahu Baby</em>. She essays a Punjabi kudi's character in the show. "Sweta adds a lot of variety and spice to the character. We always wanted her to play this role and there was no question of a second choice," says producer JD. It's the first time that Sweta and JD are working together. This pretty lass was waiting for her shoot to start. Even the production house was not in hurry. They were waiting for Keswani's NB3 commitment to get over.

Vaishali Thakkar aka traditional bahu Pravina is no longer a part of <em> Baa Bahu aur Baby</em>. Although, the actress entered the show with a lot of expectations, her role seems to have lost its track and she is completely out of the picture now. Initially, she used to shoot for 20 days a month and gradually stopped shooting for the show. She tried to do something different by portraying positive and humorous character of Pravina in Baa… But, somewhere something went terribly wrong and her character in the show did not shape up the way she had expected.

<em>Baa Bahu Aur Baby</em> leaves no stone unturned in amusing its viewers. Earlier, it was Gattu's gigantic gift to his sister that grabbed headlines. Now, actor-producer JD.Majethia, who plays Harshad Thakker, will be seen dancing on a song sequence where he dons the role of a <em>'naag'</em>(snake). Deepshikha, who makes another return to the show, is his naagin. This song is professionally choreographed by Pappu Khanna.

Jamnadas Majethia and Aatish Kapadia, of Hats Off productions have successfully produced comedy shows like <em> Khichdi, Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai</em> and family drama<em> Baa Bahu Aur Baby</em>. Now, the duo is all set to roll out a new untitled weekly show... and guess what, this time its not a comedy show.

Aatish Kapadia who pens the highly popular daily soap<em> Baa Bahu Aur Baby</em> of Hats Off Productions, has crossed a milestone in his scripting career. Apparently news has it that he has crossed the 1700 episode mark, which comprises 1000 odd episodes of<em> Ek Mahal Ho Sapno Ka,</em> and the rest scored for<em> Khichdi, Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai</em> and <em>Baa bahu Aur Baby</em> together. And it goes without saying; all three serials have been primetime success stories!
