In a candid chat with us, Dimple confessed that she was quite sad on being ousted from the show, but, as they, when one door shuts, ten other opens.

If sources are to be believed then <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/kushal-punjabi-s-advice-abhishek>Kushal Punjabi</a> has won the desi version of Wipeout, <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/jhatkas-zor-ka-jhatka-team>Zor Ka Jhatka</a>.

He’d easily rank amongst the finest dancers in the country but Abhishek Avasthi is still falling short of judges Ahmed Khan and Abhijeet’s expectations on <em> Ek Se Badhkar Ek</em>. If Abhishek is feeling low and needs some encouragement then he needn’t look beyond his competitor Kushal Punjabi.

For months, the rumourmongers have been crying out loud that Kushal Punjabi and Purbi Joshi are a pair. The duo though has always chosen to keep mum. Breaking his silence is Kushal Punjabi who’s finally decided to put an end to these rumours.

It’s elimination time on Sony’s <em> Mr & Miss TV</em>. After Kushal Punjabi quit the show there will be only one contestant who will be leaving the stage on Wednesday. And the head that rolls this time is that of Priyanka Bassi. “She had always been in the eyes of the judges in the show. Swapnil is a strong contender but Priyanka was the one who was weak,” says an inside source.

Kushal Punjabi who plays Aditya in Star Plus’ <em> Santaan</em> has backed out from Sony’s reality show <em> Mr. and Ms. Television</em>. But the dedicated actor that he is, Kushal is shooting non-stop for <em> Santaan </em> to meet deadlines. Kushal says, “I am down with Malaria and high fever since the past five days. But I don’t want the production house and the actors to suffer because of me so I have continued to shoot. I had to back out from the reality show as one needs to invest more time and energy to it. I have to rehearse, prepare and present an act.”

After Star One's <em> Yeh Dil Chahe More</em> was abruptly pulled off air, model-turned-actor Kushal Punjabi went missing from the idiot box. He resurfaced as a contestant in Zee's reality game show <em> Fun on Run</em>. Now, the handsome hunk is grinning from ear to ear as he's been roped in to play lead role in a new show to be aired on Zee.
