The New Year begins in style for duo Ashish Sharma and Archana Taide as they are off on a three day road trip to welcome the year 2013. Ashish who is presently seen in Zee TV’s <em>Rab Se Sohna Isshq</em> and Archana who is in Zee TV’s <em>Qubool Hai</em> had some problems in taking a three day off from their shoot. However, they managed to convince their respective production houses, and took off for the trip on 30 December 2012. They are scheduled to return on 2 January 2013.

The new girl in town Mrunal Thakur aka Gauri of Khamoshiyaan (Trilogy Krikos and Throught Train Entertainment) spent a very quiet New Year’s eve as she has been busy shooting. In fact, she is even shooting today (1 January 2012). However, the actress had small a get-together with her school and college friends last night (31 December 2012). But, this is definitely not a complete New Year for her this time. Read on to know why…

Tall and handsome Shashank Vyas is another actor who is in no mood to bring in 2013 with a lot of buzz and boom. Why? Let’s hear it from the man who portrays excellently the role of Jagya in Colors’ <em>Balika Vadhu</em> (Sphere Origins). “2012 for me was very good both professionally and personally. But I am not at all happy about anything after hearing about the Delhi gang rape case.”

Beautiful and bubblicious Niaa Sharma who plays the role of Maanvi in Star Plus’ Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai (Cinevistaas) has decided to strike a different chord this New Year, 2013. “Initially, I decided to party big time in Goa, but later I canned my plan. I was really saddened by the Delhi gang rape incident,” shared Niaa with <em>Tellychakkar.com</em>. We have already written about Bollywood celebs shying away from partying during New Year post the death of the gang rape victim. Many TV celebs have also followed suit.

Tellychakkar.com was the first to report about Arjun Bijlani’s comeback vehicle in television. As reported, the handsome hunk will soon be entering Star Plus’ <em>Kaali – Ek Punar Avatar</em>, produced by Shakuntalam Telefilms. We got in touch with Arjun who is presently in Goa for the New Year bash. “Yes, it is true that I will be entering <em>Kaali</em> very soon. The story so far in <em>Kaali</em> has been emotional with the death of Nimai. The makers now plan to bring in more lively tracks with more of romance. I will most probably begin shoot in the first week of January 2013.”

The actor plans to celebrate the coming of the New Year 2013 with a party at home.

This New Year, Colors brings a fun filled and star studded night with Golden Petal Awards, with a mix of dance, music, comedy and loads of masti. Playing the perfect hosts will be Manish Paul and Drashti Dhami who will get indulged in petit quarrels throughout the show much to the amusement of the audience. The night will have some spectacular performances including one by the good looking couples Shiv and Anandi’s (Siddharth Shukla and Pratyusha of <em>Balika Vadhu</em>) and Madhu (Drashti Dhami) and RK (Vivian Dsena) as they confesses their love for each other through a romantic act.

Madhura Naik has a packed schedule for the next few weeks wherein she plans to fly to Thailand to celebrate the arrival of the New Year and also to be with her brother for his birthday. However, the actress has been plagued with viral fever for the past few days and her ill-health is indeed a spot of bother for the entire family which is looking forward to the travel.

The entire Singh Family from Best of Luck Nikki will bring in this New Year with the biggest surprise of the year. This family show which has been delightfully entertaining kids and their families for over the past 2 seasons will bring in a holiday cheer with surprise big enough to give a whole new dimension to the popular show on Tuesday, 1 January 2013 at 10 am on Disney Channel.

The cast and crew of Sagar Pictures’ <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/zee-tv-offers-interactive-augmented-reality-experience-ramayan-mumbais-malls>Ramayan</a> on Zee TV, is all set to welcome New Year…2013. Yes, the cast and crew worked very hard to create a bank of episodes so that they could all go on a small vacation during the New Year. Hence, according to a source, the team is going on a leave from tomorrow (27 December 2012) to 1 January 2013.
