Pushtie, the cute girl whose claim to fame was <em>Kareena Kareena</em> and <em>Jassi</em> <em>Jaisi Koi Nahi</em> makes for an interesting person in real life. The twenty five year old is majorly into occult sciences and is a grand master at Reiki.

Ali Asgar has bought another house for himself, this time at Yari Road, in Andheri in suburban Mumbai. An excited Ali says his new house is a two bedroom kitchen pad. Currently, he stays in an apartment in Palm Court at Malad, an one bedroom hall kitchen flat. "My new house is a sea-facing flat. It's truly mind-blowing and I should be shifting in by the end of March. The interiors are being done by one of my friends who has helped me out previously too," says Ali.

Here's another couple that celebrated love by getting engaged on 14 February.. Pamela Mukherjee, who plays Radhika in <em>Hum Paanch</em> got engaged to her boyfriend Ankur Jhaveri, a dubbing artiste (he has dubbed for the recently released The Chronicles of Narnia, an unreleased film for Ashmit Patel and scores of ad films), on Valentine's Day this year. Pamela has been dating him for the past ten years. The couple first met when they went for a picnic with other dubbing artistes. Very few people know that Pamela herself is a dubbing artiste.

After <em>Deal Ya No Deal</em>, it's <em>Kam Ya Zyaada</em> who invites celebrities to play on their show. 21st December's episode will witness the team of Hum Paanch. The entire lineup of <em>Hum Paanch</em> could not make it to the show, but five of them did play the fixture. Vandana Pathak and Ali Asgar got out in the very first round; the one who won among them was Shoma Anand. She managed to grab three and a half lakhs and donated it to the quake relief fund.

The <em>Hum Paanch</em> sets, badly ravaged by a fire that broke out on November, are unlikely to be recreated in the same grandiose splendour that you saw in the initial few episodes. Balaji Telefilms has definitely overcome the incident which took place early this month but the dilemma persists. The three bedrooms and the hall which were affected leaving nothing but ashes, cannot be refurbished. Same is the case with sets of <em>Kasamh Se</em>, a show which is still to come out of Balaji shell. They are now looking out for a new set for Hum Paanch.

This is the second time this year that Balaji Telefilms' has suffered major setbacks!A fire destroyed two sets belonging to Balaji Telefilms. The sets were located at Chitrarth, Powai. There were no casualties. First, Sankraman studios suffered major losses during the 26 July floods and now a raging fire has engulfed the Balaji sets in Powai, last night. Zee's <em>Kasamh Se</em> and <em>Hum Paanch</em> are being shot in the sets there.

The lead of this show has been the face of Zee TV since its launch in the later half of 2004. But come mid-October, <em>Kareena Kareena</em>, Zee's lighthearted comedy is going to bid adieu to its viewers. It was being speculated for quite some time that the show was going to be taken off-air, since it was dragging for too long. But one hoped that with the introduction of Faraaz Khan, the track would pick up momentum and look better!
