The quirky world of television is full of stars, starry mood swings, the rat race for the stellar roles and lots more... <strong>Hot hunk turns the fans on, and how!</strong> Some guys have all the luck. The delectably handsome Sujal, aka Rajeev Khandelwal is getting more adulation than he can handle. Did you know that recently, when he was leaving Maldives in a motorboat, a bunch of middle-aged ladies, ardent fans of the hunk, started throwing their gold rings and bangles towards him in a bid to catch his eye. Real frenzy, huh?

<strong>Stork due to visit Renuka</strong> A little bird tells us that Renuka Shahane is in the family way. Her husband Ashutosh Rana (who is short on work and whose film <em>Shabnam Mausi</em> has taken eternity to release) confirmed, "Yes, my wife is pregnant with our second kid." Do they want a daughter since they already have a son? Ranaji (as Renuka calls him) tells us, "The baby is due in December. We have everything in life. We wouldn't mind a girl or a boy." <strong>Aamna celebrates</strong>

<strong>Rajeev rebuffs Star show offer</strong> Hot from the oven. Rajeev Khandelwal (aka Sujal of <em>Kahiin To Hoga</em>) refused Ashim Samanta's offer for a role in <em>Kaalchakra</em>, Star Plus' forthcoming mystery drama likely to be aired from August. If the grapevine is to be believed, he was offered either Mukul Dev or newcomer Manav's role. We feel the guy didn't find the role meaty and central enough. Right Sujal, err, Rajeev? <strong>Preeti bids adieu to <em>Saara Akaash</em></strong>

<strong>Nausheen or Sangeeta?</strong> Humayyun of Ana (The Ego), the Indo-Pak serial starring Nausheen '<em>Kkusum</em>' Ali Sardar and Aamna 'Kashish' Shariff is planning another serial titled Pehchan with Juhi '<em>Kumkum</em>' Parmar in the lead. The grapevine has it that he might come in as a co-producer for a venture starring Divya Dutta which would probably have Sangeeta 'Pammi' Ghosh featured in it too. Now, we hear, Nausheen is also being considered for the same role. Or is it for another role, as some say?
