Neha Mehta who was last seen on Zee’s <em> Mamta </em> has bagged a lead role in <em> Waris</em>. Based on a family drama <em> Waris </em> will tentatively go on air in the first week of April on Star Plus. The show is produced by Endemol. “I had offers of two shows from Endemol. I liked the Star offer and said yes to it. Today I feel I have taken a good decision,” says Neha.

Narayani Shastri replaced Neha Singh in <em> Mamta</em> just a few months ago. But unfortunately with the show being unceremoniously bumped off air, the lady was left scouting for work. And luckily, she has already bagged a lead role in two daily fictional soaps on rival channels.

As <em>Mamta</em> is all set to wind up, Jay Mehta's upcoming show <em> Ardhangini</em> is ready to take over the empty time slot. The love story has rolled in Ajay Krissh of <em> Mamta</em> fame and Sudeepa of<em> Kabhi To Nazar Milao</em> fame as lead actors.

After Neha Mehta called it quits as the leading lady of<em> Mamta</em> on Zee TV, she decided to treat herself to a Europe tour. "Since I was shooting round the clock, I hardly had anytime to catch up with my friends or travel around. Now that I am on a break before I begin a new assignment, my friends and I planned a trip to some cities in Europe," confirms Neha.

Is Neha Mehta, the protagonist of Zee's <em>Mamta</em> finally quitting the show or just toying around? "I am considering, I have not really decided on moving out," says Neha.

Zee's show <em>Mamta</em> is slated for a bout of fresh drama. And we don't mean on screen only. Anand Suryavanshi, who plays the male lead in the show has found a graceful exit. His character Akshay Srivastava has lately met with a fatal accident and with that his innings on the show has come to an end. When contacted the actor says, "The track revolves around the female protagonist Mamta played by Neha Mehta and my exit does not signal that the show is slated for a wrap up. Actually the incident has a dramatic undercurrent and it would take the story in a new direction."

Vinod Singh and Neha Mehta the much in love couple are denying all rumours of seeing each other and are happily brushing aside the issue by vouching for their friendship. The duo have known each other since two years and met on the sets of <em>Ayushmaan</em> besides the gang (Sandip Bhansali, Gun Nayyar, Neha Mehta and Vinod Singh) hang out together whenever possible even though Neha Mehta is busy playing the main lead in Zee's <em>Mamta </em>while Vinod has recently completed an English film.

Amit Dua<em> aka </em> Sameer of Star's<em> Kyunki </em> who was supposed to play second lead in <em> Kasturi</em> now tltled as<em> Karam apna apna</em> has opted out of the show. <em> Karam apna apna </em> would have actually been this Delhite's big break in tellydom. But owing to certain last minute changes in his character Amit decided not to go ahead with it.

He's been on the telly scene since the Doordarshan days where he featured in <em>Shanti</em>. After rising to fame with Star Plus' popular serial<em> Kora Kaagaz,</em> Amit Behl has, once again, become a regular feature on DD, with<em> Apne Mere Apne </em>and now has also taken up BAG Films' serial, <em>Woh Huye Na Humare </em>(also on DD), where he plays a rich business man. The show also stars Arun Govil, Sudhir Dalvi, Rajiv Kumar and Meghna Malik.
