The Virani family of <em> Kyunki Saas Bhui Kabhi Bahu Thi</em> has opened its doors again to welcome the Agarwals of <em>Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki</em>. Traditionally, such crossovers take place only during festive occasions. Presently, the Viranis are in absolutely no mood to celebrate. Protagonist Mihir Virani (Ronit Roy) is facing the hangman??€�s noose after being convicted of Trupti??€�s murder (Swarna Jha).

His innocent eyes are likely to intoxicate the prettiest damsels. But scratch the surface and what comes up is a real prankster. Pulkit Samrat aka Lakshya of<em> Kyun Ki Saas bhi…</em> fame confesses to being one. Pulkit says, “A lot of people say that I’m a very shareef (innocent) guy but I’m not. I’m the one who plays pranks. For instance, Balaji has imposed a fine of Rs.500 for those who don’t put their mobile phones on silent mode. If ever the phone rings whilst the shoot is on then he/she has to shell out a fine of Rs.500 or distribute sweets of equivalent value.”

The stars are shining bright on this Kapoor couple and there's plenty of good news for Gautami and Ram Kapoor who will soon become proud parents. A little bundle of joy will soon visit the Kapoor household, even as Papa makes a comeback to television with Ekta Kapoor's <em>Kasamh Se</em>. Gautami is four months pregnant (they have been married for three years now). " It feels great. I was shooting for Fanaa when I found out that I was pregnant! It wasn't planned, but was a pleasant surprise!" says an elated Gautami.

He's the deity of all things auspicious. And for television stars, hectic shooting schedules notwithstanding, the Ganesh festival is a time to take a break and spend time with the rotund God of good fortune!
